Great point! It was All About Kate, unfortunately.
By not introducing the children by name, it makes them seem more like a 'litter' than a family. A sad, dysfunctional train wreck conducted for viewer amusement. I wonder if the children will grow up and look back and ask why? How bad will it have to get for them?
Showing Kate in context with the wholesome Palins makes her look like even more of a monster.
