Tonight was the ending of TLC popular tv show Jon and Kate plus Eight. I haven’t watched this show in a very long time ever since the whole Jon and Kate saga started getting really ugly. I must say I choked a little bit when they played clips from previous seasons. Watching these kids grow up was pretty amazing. But the show must end for the sake of the children. Everybody in the world has been saying it for the past eight months or so. It’s no longer inspiring, people don’t want to watch two parents bickering at each other… this whole he says she says situation is getting everyone’s nerve. I couldn’t be happier that the show is over.
Some of the highlights of this last episode:
Jon admitted he went out of control.
Jon said in the interview that right after they were separated, he felt finally free. He got to go out with a bunch of girls, went partying and everything you’ve read or heard from the media. He admitted that part of it was because his whole aged-twenty was stripped away from him. He met Kate at the age of 20, became a father of twins at the age of 23 and got sextuplets 4 years later. It’s almost like he’s losing his young-adulthood. Understandable? Absolutely.
Is it a publicity stunt? Kate was questioning the reason behind Jon taking the little kids to the firefighters fundraising.
I really don’t have any sympathy over this woman. She’s crying too much on tv, more than I could handle. Yes your ex had made some poor judgement in the past, but why questioning his good intention? The kids had fabulous time, they learned something from this experience, and it was all for a good cause. Get over it!!
Kate doesn’t want the kids to watch her ripping their dad apart.
hmmmm…. a little too late isn’t it, Kate??
Btw, does anybody notice Jon talked a bit fast? Mady and Cara barely got some air time. I wonder why???
Everything has to come to an end. The show did inspire me about parenting and relationship. I wish them the best of luck in their future. I hope Kate will get her own show in TLC as what the rumor said, and I hope Jon will find what his true passion both in career and love.

I some how managed to miss the very last show! I have been watching the TV guide for a re-run but have yet to see it yet. I am sad to see the show go to be honest! I have really enjoyed watching the kids grow up. When I saw the commercial for the last episode and heard the music I almost wanted to cry myself. (that was odd). I never watched the show because I cared a lick about their relationship, but in the beginning I really thought they were good parents who were making their way through raising a large family. The last few years Kate turned kinda ugly with Jon, which I felt sorry for him.
Any way, I am going to miss seeing the kids. I am sure the news will keep us all informed on the family.
