Jon and Kate Plus 8

Has anyone ever seen this show? It's about a couple from Pennsylvania who have 7 year old twin girls, and 3 year old sextuplets. I've only seen a couple of episodes, but I couldn't even imagine having 8 children. I have two children, and am exhausted enough. LOL!! It's on the TLC channel and the new season starts tonight at 8:30pm central time. There is also an episode on at 8:00 as well, but I think it's from last season. I think it's a cute show, and very entertaining to watch how this family functions on a daily basis.

Hi Teresa...

I have not seen that show... it sounds interesting... I'll tune in the next time.

I watch this show every Monday. It's great and the kids are so cute.

I haven't seen this show. I think I'll get exhausted just by watching them. :Hahaha:

I just finished watching tonight's episode, and yes, it is exhausting. My husband was like, "Jon can't wait until Monday morning when he gets to go to work." LOL!!

I would too if I was the mother. :Hahaha:

I've seen this several times. I never watch this with my husband ...he's just too negative about people with more than two kids. (THATS WHY WE HAVE ONLY TWO!) It takes special people to handle that kind of group. They seem very dedicated to their family.

wow..I've never seen the show..but umm thats a lot of kids..i do like kids but i don't think i could handle that many lol

I LOVE this show. On last nights episode they finally moved into a much larger house. Has anyone been watching recently besides me?

i watch it every Monday. lol its great. Jon reminds my mom of my dad lol

I keep forgetting about! For awhile I was watching it a lot. What time does it come on? My son has religious education Monday nights so it's not a great tv night for me...I should record it.

Amy, it comes on at 9pm Eastern time on TLC.

They also air alot of repeats at various times.

Oh cool! I'm home by then---I actually could watch it! Thanks Debbie!

here in oz we saw an special oprah production on the family .....very interesting to see the dynamics of their day ....so glad its not me lol ....god bless them all

My Sister In- Law was talking about this show a while back but we don't have cable so we don't get that chanel

Just watched an episode...oh my goodness. They took all 8 kids to church! I swear I have NO excuse for not getting myself off to church on a Sunday! I'm sure they appreciate their time together alone too...the kids are all in nursery school classes. I don't get to see that many epies, but I thoroughly enjoy them when I do! Kate absolutely cracks me up! She and Jon have a great dynamic. Interesting though...I saw a preview for a 'season finale' next week, and there are marital problems. Good grief, that's scary. I hope they can work it out.

There have been so many rumors going around on this topic lately... I hope that none of them are true and they can continue to raise their children together. I guess we have to wait and see on Monday what happens..

Well, it could certainly all be for 'drama' and hype about the finale, but I saw the actual interview with Jon & Kate on the preview, and they said "we're in a weird place right now, but we're working on it." Something like that....I have to believe that they'll get through this...all marriages go through 'weird' phases...Lord knows my hubby and I have and we're still tickin' after 19 years. And WE don't have the stress of 8 kids!!

The next season't episodes beging airing in May. I have a feeling whatever it was, got mended. Sometimes the commercials for "next week" give a false sense of what's happening. It may be marital problems but then why would Jon say, "it's hard on my end of it"? Wouldn't it be hard on them both if it were marital problems?
Can't wait til Monday.

I'm glad to hear that it isn't a marriage problem but sad to think that we may have just seen the last episode of such a great show. Please pray for the family, especially Jon as he struggles to live a normal life. Can you imagine not being able to go out anywhere without everyone knowing you? It must be so frustrating. I truly hope that it continues. And I did hear, or see, a commercial that said that the next season starts in May. So, maybe he did decide to go on. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Oh, I missed it Marilyn. What happened? It sounds like Jon is maybe pulling the plug because he hates the spotlight? I can certainly understand that, if that is the case. I'm surprised at any families or couples that want to put themselves out there in reality TV. Of course it is going to be life-altering, and not always in a good way. They are a neat family...I wish them the best too, and I'm glad as well to hear it's not marital problems!!!

The famiily is on again tonight for those who usually watch them. I don't know if they are starting up again or not but I hope so. Just wanted to let you know its tonight and not tomorrow night

Thanks Marilyn!

Wow, this certainly doesn't look good for them. Very, VERY sad, especially considering their older daughters' ages and the harrassing they'll have to endure at school. Reality TV? Bad idea....

Kate's brother is telling the media that her marriage is over! I don't know how much I believe it, but with all these cheating rumors floating around it isn't that hard to believe.
