Jon & Kate Plus 8, plus a bunch of beers and another chick

My wife loves this show. I can't stand the constant sound of screaming children. It makes my hair hurt. I empathize with Jon.

I cannot for the life of me figure out why anyone would want to watch such crap. No offense to your wife, I just think it's complete crap.

I don't think that my wife would take offense. She doesn't seem to be offended every week when I tell her that I cannot for the life of me figure out why anyone would want to watch such crap.

I endured about 5 minutes out of courtesy to my Lovely Wife ....not even remotely interested.

I love watching the "Soup" rip on this turd of a show. All the wife does is crap on the husband. You can tell he's hanging in for the kids.

Why does TV turn normal nice people into asshats?

My ex-fiance was addicted to this show. Admittedly, I use to watch it with her partly because they didn't live too far from my sister (don't try and understand the logic there). Man that woman nagged her husband a lot. I kinda feel sorry for him.

My wife loves the show, I can't stand it.

His wife's a cow, the poor bugger looks like he's ready to blow his brains out at times.

He should've run as fast as he could early on.

People, stop using fertility drugs and stop fornicating (see, I can avoid the filter).

Why is it any freak gets their own show on TLC lately? Lotsa kids? you get a show. Midgets? hell yeah, show for you too.

Can't wait 'till I get my "surly, broke car-guy" show. I think I'll call it "we interrupt this marriage to bring you the racing season!"

and my Mom loves J&K+8

My sister in law lives in Reading, PA where John, Kate and their brood live. She's well known in town to have been a prissy beotch long before she had the big litter. Good for John that he's out having a little time for himself, and if he happens to enjoy the company of young women other than his wife, as long as nothing improper is going on what's the problem?

Gosselin admitted that the show has offered financial security for his uber-family (he quit his job in 2007 so he can be with his family -- and the show -- full time). Still, Gosselin says he really doesn't like the public life.

Fame and fortune come with a price.

I have a 6 year old daughter that is exactly like one of his older daughters, so we have watched the show for entertainment.

I wnodered what he did for a living. I used to watch the show, but can't stand it now. I did tune in to see what the end of season drama was going to be (end of the marriage??).

I watched a show the other day where Steve Thomas was doing a green makeover of the Gosselin's new house. Kate should have been bitchslapped during that show. She obviously cares nothing about what others think of her.

TLC (formerly known as The Learning Channel) has completly turned into "The Freak-Show Channel."

I hate the whole thing.

you leave the midgets out of this - i love that show. little people are awesome.

I wonder how the six kids are doing sharing that one soul?

Joey

Trick question--they have no soul.

My wife used to like that show, and I used to watch it with her sometimes. Haven't watched it in years though. I hate that chick. She naggs that poor guy every second of the day. He's constantly rolling his eyes and biting his tongue. I noticed after a short time that she was just whoring her kids out for $$$. It went from a show about how a mom handles 8 kids while her husband works to "let's watch the Gosselin's go on a sponsored vacation." or "the Gosselin's go to The Gap to buy lost of clothes." or "the Gosselins get an entire Zoo to themselves." That lady had traded her kids childhood for some designer clothes and TONS and TONS of free plastic surgery.

i love that show. little people are awesome

I give him credit because he bought a restored beetle and had one of his families beetles restored.

His son bought a 1970's BMW 2002 and he was pulling the engine out a week ago. My wife always calls me in to see Matt's cars.

Nothing really grassroots about him though...

There is an ad on my local Craigslist for TLC. They are looking for people to be on upcoming shows called "Switched at birth" and "My kid ate a foreign object"

Linky

Great. Let's encourage kids to eat foreign objects so they can be on TV.

He had some kind of IT job, Network admin or something. My wife watches that show when everything else is in reruns. I will watch once in awhile but yes, that lady needs someone to snap her back into reality.

Its been on for 5 seasons!!!! Holy crap.

And whats up with the "shifting" cable channels?

The Learning Channel: Is there anything left on that channel that remotely represents that.

MTV: Reality and bling channel more like.

Speed: Well, you know.

HD Net: Why is this channel so awesome? WAY WAY WAY better car (and bike) stuff then Speed. I guess it is all in HD, so they seem to be staying the course.

I'd star in it.

And we all know Ginger kids (red hair, pasty skin, and freckles) have no soul.

I love it, but i think it should be "Happy Misguided Broke Car Guy show"

Or Shawn and (Ms Shawn) plus Eight (Project cars). See if you're surly and fussy, all the knuckle busters would call you a girl. But if you are genuinely happy to bring home a rusty 72 Flying Squirrel, we could all relate, and so could the spouses and you try to rationalize to ther why it was a good purchase.

Done..

I've even got the first season's projects lined up in my driveway already.

1948 Chevrolet Fleetmaster

1952 Morris Oxford

1956 IHC truck

1958 Pontiac Pathfinder

1967 Jeep Gladiator

1970 Lincoln Continental

1973 Firebird Formula 350

1980 Trans-Am Indy Pace Car

1980 Trans-Am SE

1981 Trans-Am

1982 Toyota Corolla

1984 Fiero Indy Pace Car

Will that do?

Shawn

aw hell no - i've got the projects lined up for that show. i'll do it one per season though - not like those stupid biker guys who do one bike per show.

i only have 10 i think.

and i forgot about the 2002 that the kid on the little people show bought - good stuff..

how much more grassroots can you get than a midget on a tractor moving dirt?

Hell, I'll be an extra!

And since they live in Reading PA we can have an episode at the Duryea Hillclimb ...(the whole family helps Jon do an engine swap between timed runs...!)
