Don't get me wrong. I love Jon and Kate Plus 8 but with all the tabloid junk that is all over the place these days, I am actually finding myself not enjoying the show at all anymore.
I used to watch the show when I was stressed or down in the dumps because watching the adorable kids of theirs always puts a smile back on my face and makes my heart warm. My favorite of the sextuplets is Joel -he says so many funny things, especially during the Crayola Factory episode. My favorite of the sextuplet girls is Alexis because she is so wild and reminds me so much of my own niece. In fact, watching all the kids is like give me a crystal ball into my niece's own future development (she is only 21 months old).
But all this negative press around Jon and Kate makes it hard to enjoy the show (even the older episodes during happier times) no matter how adorable and cute the kids are. Now when I watch their vow renewal ceremony episode, it really makes me sick that it is now all a sham.
Of course, I am going to watch the fifth season premiere on Monday because I am curious to see how TLC and the show deal with all the stuff that has come to light. Plus the episode focuses on the sextuplets 5th birthday party and they are bound to be adorable no matter what is happening in their parents' lives.
For the sake of their marriage and their kids lives, please stop the show after this season. I think you guys make enough money now that I think you can survive without what TLC pays. I mean you get the royalties from book sales and DVD sales and probably repeat royalties. Re-visit again when the sextuplets are like 16 and the twins 18. We don't have to see them grow up before our eyes.
