The network has a moral obligation to continue the show. The world needs to know how it is for kids’ in a divorced household. Also, the kids’ development would become arrested if the filming suddenly stopped at this stage in their lives.
This show is nothing but a commerical exhibition to make money for Kate. Stop it now, people aren’t watching. I’d like to see their tax returns with all the freebies they get.
Quit the show Go home Be a family- the family- and i do mean the marriage comes first- over the kids, over the materialism that have become the priority- the show did not give anyone a better life- it empowered individual greed and power to destroy the marriage- a strong marriage is the foundation of what the children need- they dont need the bog house- the parents dont have the wisdom or credentials to be wrting books or lecturing others. Shame on them for making a 3 ring circus out of their family. Selfish by both parents destroyed the marriage and the kids- GO HOME and work it out- Its work- Grow up- you have kids for heaven’s sake- Start acting like adults instead of all the ” feelings” that this is better for the kids- what a crock of selfishness.
Well at least Kate can go around sporting her new ta ta’s
I agree with everyone. Cancel the show. I will not watch anything on TLC until the show is canceled.
Ok.. who are these people anyway?
Do we really care?
Larry, the world has a moral obligation to ignore stupid people like you. That has to be one of the dumbest statements I’ve read on the internet. If you had children you wouldn’t spout such drivel.

Please Kate needs to know what it is to support a family. not having the tv show and having to pay for child care for 8 kids might be a wake up call to the woman. But I feel sorry for the kids, I wouldn’t want to be around her anyway, she seems a major B*&$h. The only ones that will be around her are her poor kiddos, and we have all seen how she treats those kids. maybe John should keep the house and the kids and Kate should move away, I’d watch John the single dad making a life for his kids.
did anyone notice how Kate kept saying she doesn’t want to be alone? could it be her body guard is in the wings waiting for Jon to leave?? Kate is so fake with her box of tissues on the sofa. I feel so bad for these children. TLS please do the right thing and cancel this show
IT’S ALL ABOUT THE BENJAMIN, FROM DAY ONE.THIS IS NOT A FAMILY; IT’S A ZOO. NO LOVE FROM MOM TO DAD OR MOM TO KIDS,DAD IS SPINELESS, MOM IS A WANT TO BE PARIS HILTON.THEY HAVE BEEN GIVEN EVERYTHING, WHERE IS THE WORK; THAT GOES INTO A RELATIONSHIP THAT KEEPS IT SOLID? HASN’T BEEN ANY, SEPARATE VACATIONS… DAD GETS A DAY OFF… MOM GETS MAD, SHE TAKES DAYS OFF… LEAVES KIDS WITH THE OFF SCREEN NANNIES. THIS IS SICK.THE KIDS WILL MAKE IT, DON’T CARE ABOUT J&K…THEY HAD THEIR CHANCE.
The show seems to be more focused on the parents now. Cancel it! It was good in the beginning before all the money and she was clipping coupons to eat. It was more realistic and enjoyable.
STOP IT, JUST STOP IT. Do you really need to see young children deal with the heartache of their parents divorcing? Anybody who continues to watch the show and support it is slime along with TLC if they continue to air it.
I wanted the big announcement to be that they would stop doing the show, try to step out of the public eye and put their family back together. Last night’s show was terribly sad. No matter what you think about Kate, I saw real saddness and a sense of great loss. As for Jon, he seems excited (his word) and happy to be moving on. For the sake of the kids I wish they would have gotten professional help before the marriage was irrepairally broken. Just very, very sad.
This is such a sad state for the kids. Not a word about counseling or TRYING to keep this together. Who needs to watch this? A couple of self centered, money hungry wannabes. Get rid of it…maybe if the money is gone, they will concentrate on their beautiful children.
PLEASE cancel this show. I can’t watch it anymore. For the sake of the kids. Cancel it.
