Exactly..the point is: the story refuses to go away. They love the fame and money, yet whine about the consequences, while little children may be affected by it. It’s the kids!

Sounds like the employer has a beef with them for making it public that he wouldn’t insure the babes. The employer probably rec’d some pretty hateful emails and letters.

Are they talking about Sue Ellen, Pamela, or Barbara Bel Geddes' character?

Just saying, they may not want it to go away.

Unsurprisingly, the season premiere raked in the ratings, with 9.8 viewers, more than double the number who tuned in to the season four finale in March, Entertainment Weekly reports.

A couple who had twins and wanted one more child but got sixtuplets instead. Thus Jon and Kate plus eight. They have a tv show featuring themselves and the eight children showing escapades from their lives.

Things seem to be not going well for the couple at the moment.

Someone commented on another article that the show be retitled, “Jon and Kate plus Hate”

Got to feel bad for the kids.

Jon deserves a divorce from that nag. Her hair alone is a hate crime against the eyes.

Old geezer bachelor here. A lady friend got me into watching the show. Having no kids of my own, I love watching them grow and seeing their character develope. The husband is a doormat and the wife is a friggin’ lunatic.

That being said, who knows how much of what’s been put forth on and about the show is true and what’s been scripted. (his and her claims of authenticity notwithstanding)

Like I said, I like the kids.
