why is everyone so judgemental. i don’t know whats going on in their lives but let me tell you I have alot of respect for this family. and i have alot of empithy for them. everyones talking about them making money and exploting their children. what i see a hurting family that has been drag through the mud by the media and by so many who want to give their openions on things the don’t know anything about. to all of your that want to put down this family take alook at your own lives and if you find it’s perfect and you don’t have some dark secret or fault go ahead and cast the first stone. I pray mercy on this family and pray things work out i don’t wish harm on anyone i wouldn’t anyone wishing it on me

“Jon & Kate ‘Pimpin’ their 8” makes a much more “realistic” title. Isn’t exploitation of children for money a crime? When the theme of a reality television series changes from the eight children and their mom and dad to all about the mom and dad, where they are sleeping, what bars they are hanging out with college girls in, etc., it’s no longer a family show. Show’s with adult theme issues should be aired in different time slots on different chanels, TLC.
TLC, who would you like to see return next season: Jon & Kate OR your VIEWERS???

i think she is controlling and has no respect for jon and her children people like her are blessed with kids and all she wants to do is make money off of them if i had 8 children all i would want to do is love them and let them be happy it is really sad that kate cant do that for her kids

alot of people feels that this show should not be on tv. If this is true than you should not watch- No ratings not show.Maybe this family will focus on what is real important and that is their family.

Sad- Shame on TLC and Kate- Jon wanted the show over.Kate and Jon said when one of them did not want it anymore they would turn camera off.I guess that was a lie- I fell sorry for the children and Jon- Looks like TLC and Kate just see $$$$- This mother needs to focus on what is important and that is her husband and the children.

“Kate says she had a thing for bad boys before she settled down. Before Jon met his future wife he admits, “I was doing nothing with myself. No career, I worked at a ski slope… I didn’t have any goals. I didn’t want to get married, didn’t want to have kids. Just bumming around, doing what I wanted to do.”

I am not going to slam Kate for doing her job in raising their children. Read the above paragraph and you will know what Jon was before he got married. Maybe he is longing for the single life again where he can be bumming around doing nothing like he did before.

Kate has to put her foot down with Jon. Jon should be man enough to fess up to the plate and take on his responsiblity
on raising the children as well. Kate shouldn’t have to tell Jon what to do. Jon knows what he has to do, yet he lags.

I honestly think they both try hard and I do admire both of them, even though it seems like Kate is bossy towards Jon. Kate is just making sure the kids needs are met and I think she does a good job of it. They both love their kids very much.

Jon is laid back person, Kate is high strung,,they should meet in the middle and work out their differences. I think if they get marriage counseling will help them salvage their marriage.

I think this family is in trouble. I have said since day one that Kate is
too demanding and a b***h. Belittle Jon..yes, she does it all the time. He has even said so on the show. Kate is the boss and it’s always her way, her wya, her way. If you listen to her, many times she talks about “my” kids this or “my” kids that. Not “our” kids. As for Maddie, they need to do something with her and her attitide NOW. They both have talked time and time again about Maddie’s attitude, the girl is a brat. And you never hear about Cara. This poor thing is always lost in the back ground of all the other kids. Kate is lost in money world!! Her and her traveling and her book deals and her speaking engagements
(all without Jon)are big dollar signs.
And that new house! WOW! Again big bucks. She love love loves all the attention and the money. What happened to the old Kate who wanted to stay at home and take care of her family??? Who’s taking care of the kids when she’s out and about all over the country?? And Jon, maybe she should be caring for her husband too! It seems like he’s just plain tired of the whold situation. He’s admitted he’s tired of the cameras and now his wife is gone alot too. In a way it’s probably a relief for him not to have Kate on his back all the time. Kate’s acting like the single woman. If things are so crazy and busy at home, how and when does she find time to write books? If the kids need her so much, why is she out and traveling so much? Lady, your family is in a bad way. If you care so much about your kids AND your husband you need to stay home and mend your fences. (Or in your case, you’d just BUY new ones!) Should Jon leave, in my heart of hearts I believe it is because of Kate, not the cameras!

I am tired of hearing how hard it is to have eight kids, there are two other shows on TLC with large families, Table For 12, staring the Hays Family who have two sets of twins and a set of Sextuplets and 18 Kids and counting with the Duggars, who as the title suggests have 18 kids. And one of the Hays kids has CP who needs 24 hr care, both sets of parents are very calm, relaxed and down to earth. my Opinion Jon and Kate, mainly Kate bring on some of their own stresses by being so uptight, I am not saying its easy to have so many kids but maybe if Jon and Kate relaxed a bit they wouldn’t be so stressed.

give jon the kids and 9/10 of their income so he can support them and give kate the boot! if she gets a talk show I will be AMAZED and appalled. She cant TALK and she certainly is not a role model for moms. Personally, I called this divorce long ago while watching them interact. Not surprised that Kate would have a contract with Jon to continue the show, she is all about the money and the fame. She has a false sense of entitlement that even people with real talent dont have.

Have any of you put 8 kids through college? Have any of you tried to raise 8 kids and give them THE BEST life possible? I don’t see Jon and Kate as greedy or money hungry. They are parents who are trying to provide THE BEST they can for their children. How are you people to judge them on that? The show is not hurting anyone and it is not exploiting those kids. It is PROVIDING for them in a manner that they will have REAL OPPORTUNITES in their lives that with out it they would have never known. How dare you people!

Who cares,this is what happens when you sell yourself and your family to the highest bidder.What are they telling the two oldest twins.I know that they are being tease in school about this mess.This is what happens for being GREEDY and MONEY HUNGER. My question to them was the money worth it.

It’s funny how she calls the media and press disgusting and are just horrible. Then turns around and gives an interview to an entertainment magazine. If she wasn’t putting the money first then you would think she would have her kids best interest in mind. How humiliating it will be for them in years to come.

I feel just like Joanne… I’m disgusted at the parents.. all for the money.. exploiting the situations… they should go out (Kate & Jon) and get a job.. like NORMAL PEOPLE!!!!!
I thought they were down to earth, so fresh and cute… AND ALL THIS GREED!!!!
Talk about family values

Leave this poor family alone. They are going through a hard time right now. Everyone has trouble in their lives at some point. The last intention of this family is to exploit the children. I am sure they are only trying to continue to live life the way they always have. Besides who even knows if all of these stupid rumors are even true? Good girl Kate for knowing the tabloids are hardly ever true!! I love your show

If its a “go”, then TLC is just disgusting. It should be illegal to exploit these kids so the greedy parents can continue to make money off of them.
