uhhhhhhhhhhh so even if they are having marital issues that are of a negative sort everyone knows someone who has duplicate scenarios,,,,
no one really cares to take offense at their issues, most are likely to be horrified at the media's constant insatiable need to make them into their poster children for their latest gossip sessions that they feel everyone is so hungry for,
the media now takes ordinary people and their ordinary issues and makes them into gossip adding concerned captions and humanitarian slander,,,
the only thing anyone is interested in is watching the media somehow be sued or struck some sort of scandal for nosing in these 'ordinary' peoples lives in such a frantic manner that's kind of sickening, even to the gossip lovers,,
Just another relationship down the toilet thanks to our friends in the media earning a buck on another's misfortune...ruining a perfectly respectable TV show and the family it's trying to document. Let'em work it out people - 8 kids are going to suffer the real consequences to come.
wow, who cares about these media whores?
I totally agree with the previous poster. It doesn't shock me to learn that a 'FOX Affiliate' is the one trailing this man and his son. For shame! There is no conscience in the mainstream media anymore. There is REAL NEWS going on in the world, instead, they choose to center on gossip. How pitiful. This is a precise reason why I choose to get my news from sources other than the mainstream media. I am so tired of them dictating what we should be concerned with.
i love this family and have been watching since the begginning of the everything, and haveing a big reality tv show with the kid's, of course when they became popular, they new about all the camera's and people that were going to follow them around, and the tabiload's are going to try to make up any story that they can because it is their job, and what i hate is that they do this and it destories a nice happy home and family so now the children have to suffer out what was caused, but since the begginning kate has always been a control freak and jon and has alway's laied back and took what she was throwing at him. and never said anything about it. for instances if he told the kids yes about something kate would get mad and tell them know because it was not her way, of if jon said yes about something to the kid's kate was saying no so when jon was trying to disipline the kids she was alway conterdicting what he said and the bad thing is she would do it right in front of the kid's so they thought well we can do it and get away with it. I really enjoyed this show and the kid's and family, but i think this has been a long time comeing. I don't think that after this contract is over,that kate nor jon needs to resign anything i think that they just need to go about their live's and try to work things out and do what they have to, but they do not need to have all the camera's and pop's and tabloid's and people following them around 24 hours 7 days aweak.and no one needs to interfear in this , both sides of the families need to stay out of it and just let jon and kate handle this.just be there for the babies and karay and maddie.

The concept was interesting to see how a family that size could survive in the real world.
I stopped watching that trash when Kate banned family members who spoke up, who you going to turn to now?
What values did viewers really learn from The Learning Channel?
Charging at church functions for appearances? Hope the church re-evaluates their nonsense of booking such 'gigs'.
No one should feel sorry for anyone but keep watching to ensure all parties involved are covered.
The kids need a payroll to handle their emotional state and the State is watching the family for best interests (sad how that came to be);
Kate needs more cash for more cosmetic surgery with her obsessions she'll never look good anyway, and Jon for his uptown condo (how about you all move back to where it all started, do a family reunion at your old house and re-evaluate if you would do it all over again the same way);
TLC got their ratings;
The plastic surgeon got free advertising;
The crew that worked with that family will be compensated as their stories 'behind the scenes' will appear after they pull the plug.
Congratulate yourself as a viewer contributing to the success of all parties involved.
The only thing I learned from TLC was poor taste can exploit shallow lives for money to help your network ratings.
These people sold their privacy and their children's privacy to the media for ego and moolah. Who could possibly feel bad for the adults now that same media machine is making the most of the situation? I do not feel sorry for people that choose to become public figures, when that publicity bites them back. I do feel sorry for the kids and wish someone with the network would put their humanity ahead of their personal ambitions and get these kids out of the spotlight.
They ASKED for this life, let's not forget, and could've opted out a few times already.
Be careful what you wish for, it may come true!!
another failed marriage...adding to the fierce divorce rate in this country...now!!!...these two have to stop warring!!!...now...they must focus on the children...put your prides aside...your wants...the only mission y'all have is to support those young people...its a shame it has come down to this...sometimes...i wish we could remove the reproductive organs at birth...then give it back when people can show they are gonna do something positive with it...just a thought!!!...anyways...pray for the children...they will need it!!!...jb
Oh please! Let's put the blame where it belongs...not the media, network, or viewers....blame Jon and Kate. Your true colors show when you have kids. Neither of them have the character or integrity to parent. They're selfish. She's a nag and he's a wimp and together they are a mess. I watched a few episodes early on and had to stop. Her nagging and his whiny, wimpy attitude are the crux of the family's demise. And as far as Jon goes, if you wanted to ride cycles, hang out with coeds, etc., you should have thought about that before you had 8 kids. And Jon, quit spending the kids money. You couldn't have afforded the rent for an apartment in NYC on your help desk salary. You claim you hated the show, so why are you using your children's money?? Kind of a hypocritical thing to do. Happy Father's Day. You make even the worst of Father's look good. And before someone says 'stay our of their business', they made their business public domain, not me.
anyone, i agree with you about every thing that you said. that is a round about way of that i was tring to say. jessica from blackshear georgia.
To begin with, it's Discovery Channel's fault. They should call it the Freak Channel. 19 kids. Multiple births. What did Groucho Marx say? 'I like my cigar too, but i take it out of my mouth every now and then.' Midgets. Drunk midgets, at that. DUI Midgets, painfully crawling around on ancrondoplastic limbs. Tree - man! 800 pound obese people. People with facial tumors the size of pumpkins. Tattoo people. Isn't this stuff all relegated to the carnivals?
I do feel compassion for these people, but, when you offer them money to be filmed, and the accept it, then they are part of the scam, the 'ratings' that the Discovery Freak Show needs.
Poor taste and an embarrassment to the cable industry.
'Judge not, lest ye be judged yourself'... hmm, now where have I heard that before??
I don't think anyone could predict the way they would handle raising eight children, let alone on television. It doesn't matter if Jon and Kate 'should' have gone on tv... they did it. It isn't for anyone else to say if they should have. It was their decision and it is done and over with.
So many people are so quick to criticize other people and bash them over decisions they made... guess what, folks... it isn't your decision to make or to criticize. If you don't like it, don't watch. It really is that simple.
Those kids appear to be more well cared for than many kids in this country. I see no basis for many of the complaints out there.
I have watched this show from the very beginning, and yes, Jon and Kate both seem to have changed, but who doesn't? It is normal to change over the years. Jon and Kate are the ones who have to decide if who they are now is working out for them... not the entire country.
People need to stop thinking they know it all, and stop judging... how well would YOU fare under the microscope???
Who cares. they are both DRAMA QUEENS! What about the thousands of other couples messing around nobody hears about them.
If people would not pay attention then they wouldn't be causing such a scene.
@jessica--
it is plainly obvious that you have sat on a couch, watching every single episode of this trash. you are the epitome of what the media is after with this sort of 'reality' tv. unintelligent, gullible nitwits that are more than willing to jump at any kind of gossip. you probably buy every one of those 'magazines' with them plastered all over the covers, don't you? it's obvious that you have not an ounce of education, seeing that you can't spell a single word and your grammar is equivalent of a 2nd grade student.
as long as there are people like you out there buying everything that the 'media' is selling, the 'media' has no interest in reporting on social issues that affect our society. it would be my guess that wherever you got that wonderful education, they skipped the birth control curriculum. you likely have 4 or 5 kids yourself, do not work, and you probably buy the 'tabloads' you speak of with our tax money, in the form of government assistance.
pick up a dictionary, or better yet, go get your GED. you won't sound so stupid when you comment on this trash.
hey nikki and jack, i like and totally agree with what you guys are saying. i have followed the show since the begginning also, and i see what has to be put up with, and done for, and yes it was their choice, not our's, and yes people should not judge, i think that that is very wrong , i don't think that they were really ready to seattle down and have kid's but that is the way it worked itself out, but i think to have that many kid's they are doing the best job they know how to do.

@ emcee
just for your info, i do not buy that krap,and yes at night when it comes on i watch it after i get off work and as for you you can take your insulting butt and get off some where or jump in a lake. so i have trouble spelling some word's, and i don't go back and recheck some of my stuff i write no one is perfict. so kiss my *** jerk.
if you want a show down you will get one because i don't back down from people like you and just so you know i don't scrap like a girl i can get it on and fight to win.
butta if you know what that mean's if you don't who is the stupid one.

I kept hearing about this couple, and wondering why the media was trying to whip their problems into a major national story. I always wonder, 'who are the people who take 1/10 of a second to pay attention to this?'. Now I know - Jessica. Maybe there have always been people who live in a little bubble - watching E tv, buying People/Entertainment Weekly/etc. It strikes me as a very empty way to live your life - living vicariously through soap opera stars and 'John and Kate'. This type of non-story was ignored by the MSM in prior days, now it's blended into 'hard news'. It has a very 'end of the Roman Empire' feel to it.
Jessica - you would do well to further your education and get off the couch.
Good riddance!!
As mentioned by others, these idiots weren't complaining about the media when they got the money that they did, why complain now about them? Uh...it was the MEDIA who made you rich morons!!
Frankly, I haven't watched a TLC show in ages and will never again.
I think TLC and the parents are pretty pathetic for carrying on with this charade. It's a phony show...we get it. These parents are using their children to make money and become famous. They have gone far beyond what they should have to make their lives comfortable. Now it's just greed. The victims are the children. These two want to continue with the show and are purposely pandering to the media to this day! There are plenty of famous families who aren't plastered on the tabloids and gossip blogs day after day the way they are. They have a 23-acre farm! HELLO?? Remember when we watched Britney Spears go through her meltdown? We found out it was the two leeches she was with that were leading her into Anna Nicole Smith territory. Her father intervened and suddenly we didn't have to watch 24-hour coverage anymore. The Gosselins and TLC are doing this on purpose to make $$$$$. The way I can protest is to not watch the show and to boycott sponsors of the show. Which I am doing. Once the gravy dries up I guarantee you this family will be nowhere in the news.
