Anyone watch "Jon & Kate Plus 8"?

Does anyone watch Jon & Kate Plus 8? I have watched bits and pieces of it occasionally but am really not hooked on the show. This week TLC is airing commercials about their season-ending episode. The commercials make it look like Jon is considering leaving--they replay all Kate's nags.

What do you think? And what's your take on the whole show?

I watch it Barbszy...I think they may be splitting up but you never know what will happen...

I like Little People/Big World a lot more than Jon & Kate Plus 8...

I watch it. I can't see them splitting up. They just bought the new house and go 2 puppies not to long ago. We will see.

I watch it occasionally. I read an article in People magazine about them. They said they weren't breaking up. He apparently needed some time away. I guess we will see what happens.
Theresa---I also like Little People Big World.

Yes, I used to watch this show but don't anymore. Kate, got to me! Gee's I just couldn't stand her always complaining about something. Jon is likeable, and I doubt they will split up because of the kids. I know lots of people who have big families and hard times that never complain as much as she does about the little things in life. Maybe I'm wrong but she just seems that she doesn't appreciate all that she has.

I watched the episode last night. It seems like Jon doesn't know if he want to do a 5th season. It has nothing to do with Kate and the kids.

Kate seems to love the camera and all the people. Kate knows that alot of what they have is because of the show and the money they get from it.

Happy6, I agree with you. I quit watching the show because Kate complains so much. I feel sorry for Jon and how does all the complaining affect the kids?

I forced myself to watch the last show. I do agree with Charlotte, that it doesn't seem Jon wants a 5th season. I really wish Kate would let Jon talk a little more. I don't think he's happy at all working from home. I think this guy feels he has lost his identity.

Did any one watch the show after Jon and Kate? The family has 3 sets of multiples--10 kids. It is more my kind of family. Real life.

I enjoy watching Jon & Kate, but here in the UK I don't know what season we are on.(The twins have just turned 6yrs) I do find however,that she does moan a bit too much and why does she make such a big deal about the clothes the children are wearing? Her stress levels would be much lower if she didn't get so worked up about clothes and shoes all the time. And why do the sextriplets have to be all dressed the same? She is very quick to point out that they all have very different personalities, which you can see when you watch it, so why can't they be dressed differently? (IMHO) But I'll still watch it - its great entertianment.
