I WILL NOT WATCH ANYTHING ON TLC UNTIL THEY TAKE THIS OFF!
-
I totally agree about not watching any TLC shows until they wise up and take of Jon & Kate. I have lost respect for TLC. I think it is poor judgement to keep this show on the air, including the reruns. Nobody will convince me that this as not affected the children in a negative way. And why aren't they speaking out and defending Jodi and Kevin about the money issue?? TLC, you have so many other good shows that have good postive rateings. You don't need the dirty laundry of Jon & Kate anymore. Beside, the perspective of the show has gone in a negative direction and is now more about money and greed. This has gone on long enough!! It's time to pull the plug on this one.
-
These two are nothing more than pimps......
-
The kids are great and that's what the show was about. The people watching it now are more interested in Jon and kate and their marital woes which sound like they're headed to divorce. I think that Kate had planned to divorce Jon long ago and go with her new man, the bodyguard... ummmm, he may not be so new. She didn't want to go to counseling, was "hesitant" to believe Jon's affair and why should she??? She didn't want him to blow her cover and ruin the chances of the show continuing!!! She loves those cameras and attention!!!
-
Kate is so rude and treats Jon like he is one of the children. She really needs to cool it with him. I think she is stuck on herself.I think she needs to look at the show and see herself she acts like a b....
-
I used to enjoy the show. It has now become the equivalent of watching Jerry Springer with children in the audience. I'm not going to be even partially responsible for giving this family (I use the term loosely) and TLC ratings and allowing them to further self-destruct, all for love of the all mighty dollar. TLC is party to emotional and mental abuse of these children. These parents need to turn off the cameras, step out of the spotlight and away from the publicity and get counseling. I also have stopped watching TLC until they start living up to the personna they like to project in their ads..."Family Friendly".
-
I just love how you take things out of context and call it news.
I really love how you take things out of context and call it news. Do you really pay for the photos you get from these slimy hacks who stalk these poor people you also like to harrass? Kate's kids warm up to everybody. If you ever watched the show, you'd know that. And all you have is a still photo that you are saying shows a spanking, Better get one of your low lifes to get a video cam. And you don't bother to elaborate on the cop and Kate photo. She called them to report your stalking photographers. Really, can't you find anyone else to annoy. Leave the Gosselins alone. They're only trying to live their lives. -
Kate is a long time schemer....asking for handouts and other ppl to raise her children for her...even when they HAD money..they claimed to be poor and barely making it and taking "love offerings" from church going people...whatta crock of ..Karma's a bitch Kate and it's right on your heels. She has been quoted as saying..it's society's responsibility to take care of these children because they promote fertility drugs...this woman is messed up!!!!!!!!!! I'd LOVE to kick the outta her. Greedy, greedy Gosselins! I hope Jon gets the kids, because as you know they've been secretly seperated for at least 6 months now...Do your freakin homework dudes! all these current shows were previously filmed b4 all the media blow up. She's an ungrateful bitch who has a very high sense of entitlement simply for having children. Pay back the ppl you scammed Kate!
-
I DON'T CARE OF WHAT HAPPEN BETWEEN JON AND KATE I STILL WATCH YOU GUYS ALL THE TIME.
-
I LOVE JON AND KATE I WILL WATCH U GUYS ALL THE TIME I DON'T CARE WHAT HAPPENS BETWEEN YOU TWO I LOVE YOUR SHOW.
-
Yes, I will watch it. It's a great show.
-
Of course, I will continue watching the show. And the media will keep hounding them as the media is making mega bucks off this... What people forget is all realty shows gives the people in them big salaries and freebies... and that is what this is about... people who are sick with envy... the other shows don't appeal to me...The gosselins children are happy, health and cute
-
The only reason people are watching JK+8 now is because people want to see the downside of this relationship! It is definately not about raising a loving family and giving other families with children parenting tips, unless you call being rude and selfish great tips! This show has long run it's course and needs to definately go off the air! Enough with the arrogant and rude Kate! And please have her get another stylist, because apparently they don't know anything about what hairdo looks good on her!
-
I would but don't like the advertising/TLC tie ins, like OC Choppers, Emeril, etc. I only want to see Jon and Kate. Not the other people!
-
No! The show is not about the kids at all, so they should stop pretending it is. It is just one big product placement, with that product usually being another TLC show. It was acceptable when the kids were little and didn't realize the impact on their lives. No, sick of Kate's poor me attitude, when her self-centered, nagging personality is the root of the problems.
-
This show was about kids, family and love, and that was why it attracted so many viewers. Now the atmosphere is tense and the kids became became a background for advertizing other shows. I do not like to watch that.
-
i will continue to watch, i think its crazy how everyone else wants to judge them. lots of people have trouble in their marriages, why does anyone think they are any better then Jon and Kate? I would love to see how any of you would handle caring for 8 kids, especially 6 little ones. Give them a break, if you don't like them, don't watch. I am tired of all the whining and negative comments from those who haven't given them a chance, especially if you didn't even watch the show before. Its obvious the kids love their parents so they must be doing something right. Overall those kids are better behaved than a lot of kids i see in public where a parent or a couple only have one or two kids to deal with and they can't even manage that.
-
I have better shows to watch instead of a privileged pair whining more than the kids. TLC can put on better than this crap!
-
I would watch if Jon and Kate agreed to get counseling and work on their marriage instead of parading around with other celebrities and taking vacations.
-
You made a Bitch a Rich Bitch, what else do they need free, they have everything a normal child dosen't get and they still make money off those kids, the kids are Brats and she don't have time for those kids. Why is TLC explorting kids anyways she ain't doing anything different each episole take her off the air or loose me. I'm sick of seeing this show
-
I think they are a disgrace. Be adults and go to counceling. When you die you can't take your BMW , mansion and whatever else with you
-
I think it is time to pull the plug, or change the name to John & Kate. It is no longer about the kids. It is mostly about Kate, and the profit$.What happened to the coupon penny pincher? All she does is whine and complain about being a parent, roll her eyes and bash John. If you don't like what the media has to say than stop giving them reason to talk! Instead of thinking about the money, focus on your family.
-
John and Kate need to Get out of the limelight, forget about the money and focus more on their family during this time.
-
couldn't of said it better myself!
-
I belive in the way Kate and Jon discipline their children. If I had that many kids in the same age range I hope that I would be as good at parenting as her. Some times children need spankings and it is the parents business to do so, not the the publics. This is why Celeberties marages don't last... Because the public has too much to do with it. It is probly all lies and not at all any of our business. I support the show and the family FULLY
-
Feel like I am encouraging exploitation of children. This family now have enough to deal with without cameras; give htese kids back a life.
-
Jon and Kate please get some sort of help if not for you do it for your kids they deserve that you guys work hard at your relationship
they deserve the best including happy parents
put all egos aside. -
The whole thing makes me sad. I am most sad for the children who will eventually see the demise of their parents relationship on video and camera. Would you want that for anyone in your family?
-
A fun and family friendly reality show has turned into a clever mass marketing ploy. Sure those kids now have every toy they could dream of, a great house, and vacations galore - chances are, they would give it all up just to have happy parents and a normal life again!
-
I feel sorry for the kids. Just by the look on the twins faces you could tell all was not well. Kate doesn't treat Jon like a husband but more like a maid/slave. As for the photos of them cheating with other people, it is uncalled for. If they were ordinary people this would never be open to the public. They should be left alone to deal with this. Divorce is not an easy thing.
-
I had watched this show since day one and I am not feeling the joy and fun in watching this show anymore. I am bummed out! I used to look forward to seeing this show. I would actually find it relaxing, believe it or not. I would really wish they could work things out, but it appears that neither cares to even try to work it out. Rolls between the two have changed suddenly in the last 7 to 9 months. Additionally, they have apparently had some problems before all this, before the fans and public knew about it. I do wish them the best, especially the kids. For myself, I am not sure about watching this show anymore. If it continues to be this way and ends up to be a Kate Plus 8, I am not interested. I wish they would call the show quits and work on their issues. Good Luck to them and my prayers are with the kids.

Not sure if I'll keep watching. It's like a train wreck, you want to look away, but can't. Jon seems so lost & lonely, & Kate seems to be plugging along like she can do it all by herself. And, the kids...well, wasn't this all about the kids way back when?? I'm still watching in hopes that Jon & Kate can work through their many differences & come through this stronger than they started. And, that my dear Kate would be a true success story.
-
Please remember what IT was that you got married in the first place [LOVE] Go with that for both of you and your children GOD BLESS
-
NO Iwill not watch the show if it don't go back to family. I have watched the over and over it makes me sad to see it change it's now just Jon and Kate. Both of you sit down and watch your early showes and you will understand
-
Don't blame TLC, these two (especially) Kate are money hungry TV whores. They don't care what being on TV and making money has done to themselves or their children. Its a train wreck and we all love to watch a train wreck
-
I thought TLC was "The Learning Channel", not "The Litter Channel". All I have learned is the ill effects of fertility treatments.
-
Enough is Enough, Now the Divorce, show should be done, let them go on with there lives. It will be hard enough for thr kids.
-
I love this family and it sadden's me to see them going threw this. And I seriously don't think that people adding what they think is going on helps any it's just adding more problems. I truely wish them all the best with what ever comes their way next.Thanks Ruth
-
We're hoping and praying Kate and Jon work through their problems and continue to stay together with all the kids.
-
I love how everyone calls Kate a bitch. Have you ever tried to plan, coordinate and raise 8 kids (all young?). Heck, I get aggravated at my husband if he can't plan for our ONE (and often, he can't)! It's stressful..and yes, sometimes she does not handle it well (who among us can handle stress on a daily basis well). The statistics for divorce for parents of multiples tells it all...they are much more likely to divorce. Sad...but true. Greedy? I guess if I had 8 kids to put through college someday, I would be too. I just wish they would have made the effort for counseling (though they could have and kept it private). It would have been nice to see some of that and know they tried. God Bless them and their kids. I feel very sad for them but sometimes divorce is better than feuding parents.
-
Why would TLC Channel continue to air Jon & Kate Plus 8 now that divorce proceedings have been filed? Who wants to watch children being subjected to the pain of divorce? This is the worse kind of exploitation I think. No Thanks.
-
They are not poor, currently getting 75k per show. net worth about 10 million. The show should stop. Who wants to watch Kate plus 8 & Jon on Wed and every other weekend. Just wached the anouncment. They really think people are still intrested get a clue
-
They are all wrong, tlc is exploiting the parents marriage and the parents are exploiting their children. will never watch the show again.
-
Once again MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL !!!! The parents saw dollar signs instead of a normal healthy life for their children.And TLC should be ashamed also for dangling the carrot with all that money as a pay off! Now a family is broken ,children will be negatively affected and a network is discredited everyone here is a loser !!!
-
i think everyone needs to settle down and let the loyal viewers of the show see this to the end.
-
Jon & kate are humans and make mistakes, just like you and I.
People please, have so compassion!!!!
I love Kate and love the fact that she's always looking for the positive in every situation. -
Jon needs to grow up and be a men!!!!
Kate needs to be nicer to jon and we all need to keep watching the show!!!, lol,lol,lol,lol..... -
I am really disappointed in TLC it is suppose to be the learning channel. What are you teaching the viewing audience? If it is that a child's life means nothing when it comes to network ratings? I had set TLC at a higher standard I guess I was wrong they are TV's tabloid.
-
LOVE YOUR SHOW
-
I agree, take the show off. I stopped watching long before the media frenzy, when it became not about raising alot of kids. This is beyond ridiculous. They had a good thing going and should have kept it that way. You reap what you sow!!
-
BOYCOTT TLC!!! DO IT FOR THE CHILDREN!!
-
It's unfortunate that this marriage has ended this way. My concern is the children and how all of this will affect their lives.

For a long time I liked Jon and KAte plus eight, but recently after hearing they are getting a divorce I realy don't like watching anymore. I mean, yes it was all about the kids, but then you couldn't help be feel like a part of their family. Then they come out with this! I mean thanks for hurting your kids and all your viewers how believed that you guys were great. I mean yes she was a little bossy and stuff but who won't be with eight kids. Its not easy having that many kids, and people like you shouldn't be sitting here judging Kate when half of you can barely take care of one kid. But everyone is trying to say that it is all Kate, and I'm sorry but bitching doesn't make you want to sleep with other women, and if it does then you are a good for nothing man. Jon should have thought about all this before him and Kate went out and tried again. Mak\ybe they would have had a better outcome. The kids are wonderful and as you can tell they are in a lot of pain from their parents. But I will not watch this show anymore to see them torn up more and more everyday. They don't deserve to be treated like this and I still pray after this is all over that Jon and Kate can go back and look at all there shows with there new people and see that they were suppost to be together not like this. But I really have nothing else to say because I feel so bad for the kids. I hope deep down that Jon and Kate can work this out, no matter that the papers are already signed.
-
The television show is supposed to about the children, and that is what captivated my 4 year old daughter and myself to the show. I believe that it is quite sad to see these two people go through such difficulties. Why would we blame TLC? This is reality T.V., and what can occur to a marriage. I hope that they are are to solve and work through all the difficulties for their family, whether they are married or not.
-
What's the point in watching this show now? It's a joke.
-
Yes, I will watch when Kate is on with the children. I will NOT watch when Jon is on. He needs to get a job to see how easy he has had it. He now seems like a spoiled brat.
-
This show has definitely run its course. To continue watching would be detrimental to the children and they have enough baggage already to carry the rest of their lives. Don't tune in and be part of the problem!
-
This show has run its course. To continue to watch would be detrimental to the children and they already have enough baggage to last them a lifetime. Don't watch and contribute to the problem, I hope Jon and Kate stop spending the children's money as they will need it for therapy.
-
oh who cares who the show is about it keeps her off the welfare and they are not the only large families on tv supporting their kids this family just happens to have a over grown child playing around causing discord and now its up to mom as always to keep things as happy and normal as possible for the kids and I don't see him around doing that oh maybe he calls from paris or where ever he happens to be
-
go kate.........
-
i think john needs to grow up and be with his family.
-
NO, I will not watch the show and urge everyone to boycott it. They are using their children for money. Kate even said she will continue the show with or without Jon. I think they need a break and learn to live their lives away from the cameras. She's got book deals. She doesn't need anymore money. LIVE MODESTLY!!!
-
I used to love the show but now have a difficult time watching it because of all the friction. The children are adorable. And I will stick up for Kate - Jon has shown deplorable taste running around with all his women friends, etc. Kate had to be the strong one in the family. I hate it that she has to fine somewhere to live half of the year while Jon looks after the children. Why are you still doing this show? I am sure there will be a negative effect on the children.
-
I feel for Kate, but I also admire the fact that she's willing to try new things for herself that she would have depended on Jon to do. If she's gonna be on her own she's gonna have to and she know's this! She's NOT out looking for a new man to do things for her! GO KATE!
-
I love the kids they are the sweetiest and i was hoping to see them grow into there selves! Hoping of course the mother doesn't jrag the kids into her crazy world!
-
well, i would have chosen "no thanks - because i don´t like the way they treat each other" instead i had to take screaming kids in the park.
i love kids and it´s not because of their kids or screaming or their sad faces.
the kids are beautiful. -
TLC should definitely keep the show going-its purpose has not changed. TLC will be on the forefront now, showing everybody what its like to raise kids as a single parent. At least Kate will get child support and not have to worry about a job. Even so, its lonely and exhausting, but I think everyone will see how well Kate do (she has a lot of help).
-
i love the show from the begining and i have learned alot being a parent as well I feel for kate and for what she is going througth and shame on jon for what he is doing to her
-
Hi this is tonya i love your show i am glad that you guys are trying to work on things i have 14 month and one on the way your show helps me alot i thank you guys for being strong and brave and i thank you again.
-
I can't stand to even accidentally flip through the show. What a crock. ENews took the Pratts off the air....doesn't anyone have enough sense to get rid of the Gosselins....poor kids.
-
I may not like the show any more, but the truth is families and children finally knows what divorce look like. It is hurtful and broke up the families, it is no longer a dirty secret. I hope the show will bring out to other children that things can go on with or without Daddy and Mommy being together.
-
FIXED POLL - Strange is the fact that 75% of the comments are negative and the poll results don't reflect that.
-
Fire the person who worded this poll. Thousands of people have thrown this TLC Show in the dumpster bc of the lies, the TRICKERY + Greedy Kate Gosselin's dishonesty. NOT bc the kids are screaming.
-
I WATCHED THE SHOW A FEW TIMES. i WASN'T IMPRESSED BY ANY OF THEM, FRANKLY i THINK THEY DESERVE EACH OTHER. THE KIDS ARE THE ONES WHO WILL PAY THE PRICE IN THE END. TAKE THIS SHOW OFF THE AIR AND RAISE THE KIDS WITHOUT ALL THE DRAMA.
-
I am very disappointed in the behavior of the two so called parents....if they had the best interest of the children at hand, this show would come to an end...as it is...Kate is hogging the spot light, she was always a b to Jon when the show began...I saw this marriage coming to an end due to her behavior...Jon is acting out as a child...probably due to her over bearing behavior towards him and who's really watching or caring for the kids? Sad...sad...sad...it's not worth the money...give it up Kate!
-
Absolutely NOT! I get so sick of Kate stating that she does everything by herself, what a crock! She has help all around her. The sight of her discust me. It's not about anything but her! All of it is for show, her show and the children are innocent. Just let it go and cancel this show.
-
If Jon is an unfit father then Kate is an unfit mother they both should cancell the show, stop exploiting their children and move on with their lives, preferrably seperately.
-
no jon is a good father, but kate should stay home with her kids, she clames to be such a good mother, she only cares hiow many shows shes on, leave jon alone he took enough crap from kate for years
-
i'm amazed at how many psycoligests there are on these boards commenting on jon & kate and telling them what is best for them and their children. hate for either j or k without watching the show.
-
I'm single so I have no interest in watching families.
-
I agree with Kathy Griffin. John is a tool!
-
i am so sick of these two irresponcipal parents.
-
I really think they should give it a good try. But off tv.no more tv start living a private life for the poor kids.You'all have enough money for yourself and I sure the kids have college money Don't be greedy .They should be happy with what they all have now.They can both work while the kids are in school allday.Then people will have more respect for them...see more
-
The only thing Jon did right so far was take his kids off tv. While all the crazy mess is going on I can't even imagine what the kids friends is talking about. And Kate can care less.Those kids are going to hate them both, And I know they hate Haley G.Because I hate her.Jon is so confused he doesn't know what he wants.
-
kate's a phony and not good for her kids.She is not good for America.This is an imbarassment having them on t.v.What about little people big world.That's good television
-
yuck.
-
I think the show should just go on just take the drama out of it. Do a show about the kids with Kate.
