I can't say I saw one thing last night on Jon and Kate Plus 8 that excited me. It's not as though I have to be entertained all of the time, but it is why I watch TV.
I used to be entertained watching the kids play and interact with each other. It used to entertain me to watch these kids eat a banana, because I feel if I smile at simple things, well that is entertaining. Yet each time I watch this show, I find myself less and less entertained. It seems that 90% of the show is seeing mom and dad sit on the loveseat and explain why they did what they did or why they said what they said. I really don't care why Jon and Kate did anything, really, I don't give a crap. I really don't see this show being around much longer, if it can't keep a simple person like me entertained anymore, how in the world will it keep people who expect to be really entertained hooked?

Oh I agree. I would like to see this show go away, but I still love to see the kids, they are so darn cute! The show does seem to be about Jon and Kate and why...why, I don't care why they did anything either. If the kids are the reason they are making money, at least let us see them.
OMG! I am watching it now on my DVR (couldn't watch it Mon.) and I was just thinking the same thing, why is so much of the show focused on that love-seat? They really need to end this show, if it is not going to be about the kids, what is the point? NO one tunes in to this show to see what J&K have to say about anything. In spite of what Kate thinks, it is NOT about her.

I love it!
This makes me wonder if Figure 8 knows how to spell B..O..R..I..N..G
They have simply run out of ideas with this family. Gone is the amazement that all these babies were born at the same time.
OK, they are growing up, like everyone does.
So, we are not interested in seeing this couple sit in a chair and talk to the camera.
We have seen their real colors and we are "done", as Kate would say.
Although the producers, sponsors, etc...must have faced them with the fact that they are offensive in many ways, and they tried to cover up for it, with her claims that they don't need much help anymore, and that she is "trying" to be better -- it's too late.
We have seen enough, and we DO KNOW the real family by now.
No thank you, TLC. Give us something educational/entertaining to watch.
THIS SHOW IS OVER.
I don't think TLC has run out of ideas for the show, the fact is the kids are getting older and they're simply not that interesting or fun to watch anymore. The cute way they were learning to walk and talk was what captured America's hearts not Jon and Kate. Well, Jon and Kate its time for you to face the inevitable, your kids are growing up! Now, give them some peace and quiet away from the cameras and public scrutiny. Get off your arse's and get jobs to support your family. Has anyone ever told you that parents support the kids not the other way around? No? Well I'm telling you now!
Has anybody ever done the math on these people? They supposedly get 65,000/episode...x 50= $3,250,000
They supposedly do 2 speaking engagements/week at a charge of $25,000/which would be $400,000/month x 10 (give them 2 months off...hee,hee)= $20,000,000...that would now be $23,250,000 + selling pics at $20 each to how many people?..est.(theater of 5,000 people) if each bought one picture that is $100,000/speaking engagement at approx. 80/year= $8,000,000 okay now we are at a total of $31,000,000+love offerings and stuff that is sent to them, plus all of the freebies from sponsors. They can end this now and never have to get a job and still be set for life!
These are just estimates of course but how far off can I be?
Libby, even if they were only making 10% of that, they are raking in the money. The average salary in PA is about $59,000 year, it would take them almost 60 years to make $3,100,000. Using your figures, it would take the average person in PA 600 years to make $31,000,000. Excluding all the freebies of course.
Stewie,
That is an outrageous amount of money, but you know Kate's rule of thumb "why should she spend their money on raising their kids, they need to save it for an emergency". Looks like that emergency may include psychiatric help for the entire family.
Each show seems to flop a little more. You know, I never added up what they could be taking in before, I knew it was a lot, but my word, it's an amazing amount.

You know, if they only made 1% of the 31 mil, that would be $310,000, which would be 5 times what a normal person would make in a year. These people got it real rough.
This brings back memories of flip flops, oh I guess they call them crocs now. Or do they call Kate a CROCK?
