Okay so everyone has an opinion of this show, although I don't think it's appropriate to call it a show. They are a real family, with 8 innocent children. I just love watching them tho. I've been watching since they had their very first "multiple" special. I'm just curious what everyone else thinks of it all.

I just postedon another thread here...
I can't believe that anyone actually gives a rats ass. I don't care! I'm sorry, but just cause they have 8 kids doesn't mean they have to stay together! If they can't be civil together then they are doing what is best for those 8 kids by seperating. Whether it's 1 kid or 8 kids or 12 dozen kids.... people change, people grow in different directions, and if Jon wants to be a 32 yr old college guy, and Kate wants to be a writer and they can't get along together then they sure aren't helping those kids by staying together and being miserable.
This is kinda the whole idea behind them gettin sick of the TV show too... people care so much about their lives now that people who have no clue except what they read in US Weekly think they have the right to be MAD at them, tell them to grow up, critisize them for making decisions in their lives.
Whether they get back together, whether they divorce, whether the kids end up as presidents or drug dealers, it's gonna happen one way or another - mom & dad arguing together or mom & dad civil apart - I'm gonna say the latter is the better of the 2 evils.
If they stayed together for the kids and faked it - how the hell do you think those kids would feel in 10-15 years when they are all grown up and Jon & Kate divorce and say "we stayed together for the kids"? Even more so, these children will be living EVERY DAY, with it being DOCUMENTED, the whole entire world seeing it... just to be told the happiness was FAKE! Anyone who thinks them staying together for the kids is a good thing, is sick in the head.
By the way, I hate Kate's hair. I always have. I very rarely watched the show, just caught it here and there. But... her hair has always pissed me off. The only time it looks good is just after she gets it cut.
Anyways... life is life. They won't have the TV show forever, every show gets cancelled at some point... I don't see Jon & Kate lasting for 25 years. It might last a couple more years because they will have to show Mady & Cara goin through puberty, Jon dating again, Kate turning to Britney for advice... that kinda shit - that makes for good TV ya know! Like I said, people change, circumstances change, life changes...
People keep saying the money went to their heads, the celebrity went their heads, it's about what they get and who they get it from, it's commercial, it's not about the kids its about Jon and Kate.................... well... YEA! The public basically makes that happen to EVERY reality show family! They have to buy a bigger house and nice clothes otherwise the people are saying WHY DON'T THEY BUY A BIGGER HOUSE AND WEAR NICER CLOTHES! The only reason the celebrity is goin to their heads is cause people keep wanting to know where they are at every hour of the day so there's photographers following them - again, fueled by the publics incessant need to watch them. What they get and from who - if they didn't show what they got and who it was from people would be saying that they are ungrateful for the gifts they recieve becuase you never see or hear about it. And of course it's commercial..... IT'S TV! And it is about the kids, and part of the kids life is JON AND KATE.
Lose lose... in the end...... people need to worry about their own life. Enjoy the show, have fun being allowd to watch their lives unfold but get over it. If you don't like it, change the channel or pick up a different magazine.
