Though the Gosselins have said Jon was let go by Style Craft because the company wouldn't insure the sextuplets, Rothermel told Us Jon was fired for misusing company resources. Jon spent the bulk of his day surfing the web for freebies for the sextuplets, Rothermel says.

I don't get why they are getting so much publicity in the magazines. So one or both of them had an affair? That's never happened before since the dawn of time.

After 4 seasons, I'm sure many people feel they "know" this family. And how often do you really get to see an entire family implode...live on TV? Even though I believe 75% of all of this drama is strictly for ratings, I am not surprised so many people are paying attention to it.

I've never even heard of this show until about a week ago when I saw the wife and/or husband on the cover of four or five magazines. I thought the woman was a murderer or something until I read about the show.

I wish they'd split it into 2 shows. One that focuses on the kids and one that focuses on the parents. With the exception of the premier I haven't watched this show in quite a while. Stopped when it started focusing so much on Kate belittling Jon, hair plugs, stainless steel appliances, and tummy tucks.
At this point I wouldn't blame Jon for wanting to get the F out of there. I'm impressed he's made it this long.

Tonight's episode has Kate's birthday which she states falls in late March. Last week the sextuplets turned 5 and their birthday is in May.
Are they showing these out of chronological sequence or were the kid's birthdays moved to accommodate a taping schedule.

Edit: Ok, now I see it's actually a repeat broadcast [last season] they are airing right now. New episode is on later. They did repeat last week's ep. just before this one though.

This birthday one is from this season, you can tell by the beginning and there "set" where they do there interviews. I love how Jon just happened to be out of town on her birthday. I guess part of the deal with his free ski trip was having to help the disabled kids.

They should keep doing the show till all the kids become maladjusted adults. Then each of the kids could have eight kids. The show could grow geometrically.

Why weren't they calling that a new episode??? They repeated the "season" premiere then showed Kate's b-day ep. all the while promoting the "new episode up next".

I don't know what's more pathetic...the fact that this show even exists in the first place, or the fact that there are over 90 posts in this thread, with some of you actually arguing about these nobodies. Are you fucking kidding me?

It is far from some of the worst on tv...
It was an interesting show in the beginning, what is 'pathetic' about showing a young couple dealing with 8 kids, 6 of them newborns ? It wasn't always the fiasco that it is now, although I always thought Jon wasn't a very happy man around that house.

The problem is that if you give one kid a drink, they all want a drink. I have two kids and that's exactly what would happen. So once you've got them all seated to do satellite inteviews (which is what that looks like) it would probably be hard to get them to all sit again.
That said, these kids shouldn't even be IN a situation where they have to sit still for sat interviews. That blame falls squarely on Jon, Kate, (and the producers, advertisers and the millions of viewers.)

Oh, and all those cartoons where Sylvester got trounced by the baby kangaroo while his son watched in disgust.

Whoa, wait a minute guys. Those aren't my words. The article I posted is from Us Weekly. Don't shoot the messager.
