I've never really watched the show because every time I turned it on, it seemed like there was a child screaming and/or Kate was harping on Jon about something. However, I watched part of the show on Monday and it just made me sad. This family needs to go into seclusion and see if they can work these problems out away from all of the people and cameras. Those poor children!Mary Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03081257058408184136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9185523471223729444.post-75687589463632578482009-06-01T00:51:53.172-04:002009-06-01T00:51:53.172-04:00I totally agree!

Kate was a dialysis nurse like me and I always felt like she was "normal."

It never seemed as though the parents even liked each other, much less loved each other. I don't know, the whole voyeuristic reality show thing has always made me uncomfortable - some dirty laundry should just stay in the laundry room!

I've been very vocal on my blog about her. I agree with you wholeheartedly that they should stop filming.

I watched the show a couple times during the year because one of my housemates is ADDICTED and I watched the first episode because I was curious but it is so depressing that I don't think I can watch anymore. I also think that it is somewhat irresponsible of both Jon and Kate as well as TLC to allow filming when it is clear to everyone that their marriage is falling apart.KAChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10661614672571070632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9185523471223729444.post-88480335094047300582009-05-31T14:52:38.867-04:002009-05-31T14:52:38.867-04:00I completely agree!

They need to pull the cameras and put the family first. Of course I think they (she) has gotten used to the "celebrity" lifestyle and money. It will be interesting to see what the network does.Domestic Designerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08606783677241301260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9185523471223729444.post-18516126220455145372009-05-31T14:16:15.098-04:002009-05-31T14:16:15.098-04:00I agree - this whole thing is so sad.

She was always slapping Jon in the face & I've never liked that. Guess she thought it was funny.

I stopped because it didn't seem real to me anymore. I also stopped because, after I put my own screaming children to bed, I don't want to listen to someone else's screaming kids. <br />I agree that they should pull the plug on the show. It isn't good for their family anymore. But, I think, what is obvious to me and you may not be so obvious to them.Ellynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08907807448468020160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9185523471223729444.post-42282621727737221962009-05-31T13:38:33.264-04:002009-05-31T13:38:33.264-04:00I agree.

I have only watched this show a couple of times, but even early on, you could tell it was a train wreck. I never got the feeling Jon and Kate even liked each other.
