A more interesting show would've been "Jon & Kate Alternate Eight"
But I still wouldn't watch it... reality TV needs to go away, altogether.
you are reading this, so you must be somewhat interested in their lives. I think it will be great. I have only 4 kids and she has taught me quite a bit about how to resolve issues with my kids, etc. I think she is a good mom and a good example to her children.
Didn't we all know this was going to happen? Just what she wants, more publicty and air time, can't they just please go away?

all you are is a hater, Kate is a good person, just because she talked to her idiot husband that way doesn't mean she isn't a great mom/person. You should be ashamed of yourself for acting like she is wrong when everyone who is commenting horribly on this is probably a lot worse. Lets see you with eight kids plus one more for a husband. John hardly did anything to help Kate unless she asked and thats not how it should of been. If you watched the show you would see that he was equally at fault as much as if not more than Kate. So until you all take a step back and realize that your not any better I suggest you comment on your own life and back off of other peoples lives. "The people who say that we are exploiting our kids are the ones who are exploiting our kids" I love Kate Plus 8 DON'T GO!!!

Amen to that! For the most part he needed to be asked or told to help her with the kids. He even admitted himself that he was very passive. I hope she makes enough money to support the kids. I hope she gets another show for herself if Jon is so opposed to the kids being on TV. He - well he just has to shut up and go away now. He should go back to his IT job but maybe he'll have to move to India where the jobs have been outsourced.
You're no better than the other "haters" (I hate that hood term) You've drunk the Kate Kool-aid. They're both at fault, she pushed him away with her poor treatment...no wonder he didn't want to help her, she's a b*tch

Just some puntuation marks. Please feel free to use them in your next nonsensical post.
hKate is a bad mother because she pimps her kids on tv for money---she wants money so bad she needs to pimp her damn self--she was lucky jon put up with her all these years and thank god he has come to his senses to stop the show--this and the fact that he likes ALL the kids and not just the girls makes him the better parent
I agree she started this because John couldn't make enough money to pay for the kids And if you have really watched the whole show from beginng to end people should see that John had no sense of money here she was trying to save ever penny to get the things they need and john just doesnt want to do it. Then John got his hair implants and though he was some kinda stud. And the whole time Katie is reinventing ways to make their money. She got so good at it John quit working and just started playing and some where he really lost his mind. Katie does the things she does so she can take the kids places they would never be able to go You go Katie and here's hoping Katie plus 8 can make it on the air!!!
I don't care how passive the man was ...she humiliated him weekly with her snide remarks and sarcastic comments. She was down right abusive to the man. How many times do you think he was going to sit back and be castrated by her? The man could not speak right, eat right, or breathe right and she let all of America know it. If she wanted to cut his balls off she should have done it in private so at least he could retain a little self respect. She should have seen this coming a long time ago.
I agree with you completely. Kate has done an excellent job caring for these kids, and probably has spent many nights crying herself to sleep, knowing Jon was a cheater. She should be given the chance to continue the show, and secure a financial future for the children. I admire her courage to actually continue to be in the in public eye with all that Jon has done lately, and probably was doing all along!She's a smart woman, and I would suspect she knew he had issues, thus the reason she seemed to be annoyed with him during the show.I can only imagine the pressure she was under, trying to do the show, presenting a united front while knowing Jon is more interested in young girls, than his own young kids! Let her do a show with the kids, and let the public decide if it will do well. Give her a chance. There are EIGHT kids here to support!
i defenitly agree back off, ik this sounds childish but u if u aint got nothing nice to say just dont say it! doi, plz keep the show going and the Jon&Kate Alternate 8 wasn't such a bad idea ;-)
I agree. Jon was worse than one of the kids. Look at his unmonitored behavior now. He dresses like a teenager, he's dating a child, he's had poor choices in dating a bunch of girls, and he stole money out of the household expense bank account. My goodness, who out there would like to deal with all that nevermind try to raise eight children at the same time. That would put anyone would be on edge!
Oh grow up! Kate IS at fault for treating him like a child. That's disrespecting him and she did it in front of the world. No man would put up with that for long. I'm sure it was all the letters people wrote telling Jon how much better they would make as a wife. It all went to his head. What he did after that just shows that Jon was not ready to get married to kate and that he most surely wasn't ready for 8 kids. Not many would be. He turned out to be a real jerk, a loser who only wants to sleep with girls the age he was when he got married. Trying to redo his past? Anyway. NO ONE should treat anyone else the way Kate treated him. That she couldn't see that tells ALOT about her. No one would want to be married to someone like that. No one. I was embarassed for him, being treated like a child. Also, he most certainly DID do a lot of work with the kids when he live with them. No, he's not a family man after all. Maybe with a woman with a gentlier touch and a clue would have been a better match for horney Jon.
Sorry but you either didn't watch the same show as me or are related to Kate. I think she was very abusive and he was a whimp that needed to talk back to her. She had help with those kids. Alot more than I could have ever asked for. I had four and watched my friends two. Now I volenteer to set for kids at a gym. There has been up to 11 at one time. Not hard.
I think it is about time the children have playmates. I have never seen them interact with anyone their own age except for the birthday parties for the twins.
Do they ever have playmates at their home????
I also agree that Kate should be a "MOM" taking care of her own children and not out traveling everywhere.
When is she at home with the children? For taping of the show??? Jon should spend his time with the children also when it is his week.
Jon/Hailey??? Kate/Steve??? This is all you see when it isn't their turn parenting.
I am happy to see Jon stepped up to the plate and put a stop to exploiting the children.
God Bless the family and I do hope they can be amicable for the childrens sake.

You can't really think Jon put a halt to the show because of his fears for the children???? The jerk only cares that he wasn't going to be on the show making money and Kate was. It doesn't have anything to do with Jon and his caring about his children's well being. Perhaps he should have worried about being a good father when he was sleeping with the babysitter and acting a fool with his other tramps??? Kate's better off without him. I'm still behind her and the show. Hopefully they will sue him and win and he'll ride off into the sunset and she can get on with raising these children.
Jon didn't step up to the plate! He was fine with the show as long as he got the glory. He only complained after TLC decreased his role. C'mon, how is he to get booty without the show making him famous?
If he cared about the kids he would live closer, his home would be more than a two bedroom, and he wouldn't spend their money on frivolous things, like trips for the girlfriend. He also wouldn't screw the nannies, say bad things about Kate, or expose the kids to druggies.
He never helped Kate with the kids when on the show. She had to ask. And then he seldom used good sense, like taking the kids out without coats in cold weather. When it was jon's special time with the kids, he was otherwise occupied...like the ski trip, he went off on his own to ski instead of stay with the kids. He was always on the phone instead of being with the kids. He's a narcissist.
Kate only traveled for work, and then only in the last year. She was home with them all the time. Now she has to work at a different job and won't be home much at all. TLC allowed her to earn enough money to support the family and still be a stay-at-home mom. That was the best of both worlds. I didn't see it hurt the kids at all. There was only the 'paps' when Jon started cheating.
anon, are you a complete idiot or just not highly educated???
Jon ONLY stopped production because he was cut from show. He is NOT protecting children give me a living break. TLC was harmless compared to the PAP in which he courts to expoit every aspevt of his life inclsuing his children. ET chose and paid for the b0day cake for the twins and now Jon claims that he is worth 10-15 grand an hour for interviews??? and YOU thing Kate is the bad one here???? He needs to get off of his a--, get a JOB, and stop sleeping with anything remotley female and drop his so called friendship with Lohan. Oh and the thief needs to return the $$ he stold!!! get a grip anon!
