‘Jon and Kate Plus 8’ ending in November
Smile if you are among the many who just want “Jon and Kate Plus 8” to just go away.
The family reality show will stop filming new episodes in November, according to The New York Post.
But don’t smile too big.
The previously announced “Kate Plus 8” may still be in the works.
According to the New York Post source, TLC is waiting for Jon and Kate to clear up their divorce problems before deciding what to do next.
There is of course a big problem there.
Around the same time he learned his name would be dropped from the show’s title, Jon told TLC they could no longer film his eight precious children.
What do you think? Seen & Overheard runs daily in the Dayton Daily News. Twitter with me at DDNSmartmouth. Have an item for Seen and Overheard? Click here.
And let the parades commence.

They need to just drop this show, it reminds me of American Chopper and it got dropped also. TLC needs to move on and drop these whiners. it’s all about money and they definitely do not need it.

Please don’t bring back Kate plus 8. Enough is enough….let them sort out their problems like the rest of America and see how they cope with their big house payment and feeding 8 kids without TV. We’ll see how well Kate’s book promotion really goes - Lord knows she’s too good to get a real job.

THANK GOD! They all need to go away and then get a real job and stop living off their small kids. If we’re lucky the Duggars will stop the baby factory and that show can go away too. How about following around normal working families & paying them about 150K an episode.

The Duggars are different though. They are very faith-based and you see that in pretty much every single episode. They have shown that you don’t need a tv show to support their family - they are in real estate investment.

Kate has all the help she needs to raise her kids “single”, not like most single Moms who struggle with daycare and work. Jon has enough noteriety to hit on the desperate for fame girls…so call it quits and let us rest !!

Give me a break, the Duggars are the worst ones of all. They are up to what 19 now? Even if they were awake for 18 hours a day they still wouldn’t spend a solid hour with each child and that is really sad, not quality time. They are also grandparents, it’s time for them to stop the baby factory and let the next generation have the kids. Enough is enough!

I hate that they are taking it off, but I hope Kate gets her show, Kate + 8. Those kids are adorable!

I agree with Morgan, the Duggar’s need to halt having babies. It is not healthy for a woman to have that many babies…She has already had 3 c-sections & that is all you’re suppose to have! What if she needs one this time. She has not allowed her body time to heal before she gets pregnat again…As for the next generation, Josh & Anna didn’t kissb/4 marriage, but they are making up for it now…They are sickening!

I think Jon and Kate shouldn’t even be parents. Who in their right mind does this to their family. Bringing in cameras and the media everyday? That’s insane! Greed, pure and simple. 15 minutes of fame isn’t good enough anymore, everyone wants a reality show. Those poor kids will be mental cases as young adults.

I am sooooo sick and tired of hearing the “beautiful” Kate whine about how SHE has to work. That’s crap. She is never home with the kids, the kids probably think the “helpers” are more of a parent than Kate is. All Kate does is take the kids on expensive trips while she makes sure she looks good. End the shows and go back to being a real family. So she has a lot of kids, so what.

Yes, I’m ready to see the Gosselins live in the real world. Start functioning w/out all the publicity- the kids are the ones paying here. As far as the Duggars, they disgust me as well- and they sold themselves out when they agreed to start being paid to do this show- holy or not, I don’t believe in this facade at all- and even if they “were”- by going this route they lowered themselves just like the others. The real truth I still don’t believe has ever been shown- how anyone could support that many mouths without some type of assistance?? and what a hefty tax refund they must be getting!

I think it’s time to put this circus behind us! Jon & Kate is just a three ring circus! Let this madness end! The ones I worry about, about those kids. Money is not everything Jon and Kate. I think you both should grow up a little and think about your kids. I really don’t care who’s dating whom. It’s very sad to see a family fall apart the way yours has. Very sad, indeed.

Why don’t all of you judgmental people leave these people alone and find something better to do? Do you not see that even here, you are giving them the attention they are looking for? If you ignore them and act like they are not important to you, they just might stop believing that they are important. Does this world not have anything better to do than sit on a computer and write their opinions about others? This is my first and last time to do this and now I know why…REALLY?

Ever since the first time I watched Jon and Kate, I thought the program was sooo BORING!! Big deal, she spurned a “litter” for us to enjoy…you’d think she was the only one on the planet to come up with that idea! If I took fertility drugs I could expect to have more than I bargained for too!! How did they live before? Why give them a t.v. show….what’s the big deal? I say good bye, good luck, good riddens!!!

PEOPLE ARE SO JUDGMENTAL AND KNOW SO LITTLE. JON AND KATE WAS ONLY FILMED 3 TIMES A WEEK. IF YOU DON’T WANT TO WATCH THEM, TURN THEM OFF. THERE ARE THOSE OF US WHO HAVE LEARNED TO LOVE THEIR CHILDREN AND ARE VERY UPSET THAT JON WENT ASTRAY. WE STILL LOVE THEM ALL AND THERE ARE MANY OF US PRAYING FOR THEM. WHAT IS A REAL JOB, BURGER KING????

I sense a lot of bitterness from people… Why is it cause you are wanting to spotlight, wanting what the Duggars have in a true loing family? Petty, greedy, unhappy people is one reason this town is falling apart. People need to realize that they are not the centerpiece of life and that they should live for the good of all around them. That will make this town and life in general better. Quite whining and do something YOURSELF to make your life better!

AmazedWithPeople are you kidding me! Nothing you said made any sense. Centerpieces of life, we are talking about the Duggars producing children that they cannot spend any quality time with because they are too busy making more children. Please, learn to spell and next time use the correct words.(quite whining) I think you mean quit.(Loing family) I think you mean loving. I am not wanting “to spotlight” and I’m not unhappy or greedy I just think this reality TV family bull has gone too far. You need to write a post that makes sense and possibly go back to grade school.

I never watched the show. I just caught acouple of the endings as I was going through the channels. However for those people who say they live off of their children I say that if a production company came to you and wanted to set you up with a show that would not only make you wealthy but also provide a good living and college fund for your 8 children in the future you would be hard pressed to say no. If Jon had not played around then the show would still be going on. Let him support those children without the big bucks coming in. Good luck! with that one. He should have stuck with Kate because he was lucky to have gotten her in my opinion. She could have done much better.
