Jon and Kate plus 8, TLC channel Options

[LoveToMySilas]

Mondays @ 9 P.M. on TLC

So, I came across this show about 5 hours ago and I'm still watching it. Its a marathon, I suppose and its called John and Kate plus 8. Its basically a show that shows what parents of 8 kids (2 Twin girls (6) and sextuplets (3)) have to go through everyday. They're wasian babies, which I think is absolutely adorable. Here's some visual for you guys:

(Joel and Leah are my absolute favs.)

I'm not entirely sure if this is there original site, but for more information: http://www.sixgosselins.com/Photos.php

Its currently airing on the TLC channel if you want to catch it, go go go!

Have any of you guys watched this?

[tokyo-rose]

Nope, this is the first I've heard about the show. Wasian people are always so pretty.

[iDecay]

Awwwww, they're so cute!!!! I just turned to TLC to watch this. So so so so adorable!

I wish I was wasian.

[LoveToMySilas]

^ Tell me about it. They look mostly asian though. I see more resembalence to the dad. Haha, I can't stop watching. So many kiddos!

[Relentless]

I saw some episodes the past few months.

Its really interesting, and the kids are really adorable. My mom thinks they are so cute. Wasians are really hot/cute when they grow up, Lol. Theres a couple wasians at my school.

Being a parent of 8 seems very chaotic yet fun. I want to raise as much as that! xD

[icecreamisyummy]

i love that show its so cute lol

[LoveToMySilas]

I must've watched all the episodes they were giving for the marathon and now I'm just showing it to my 'rents and they're just amazed at how they manage to take care of all these kids.

[moninja]

omg i just saw one episode. THE KIDS ARE SO CUTE OMG<333 :D

they are gonna look so sexy when they go up. hapas<33333

[pandamonium]

haha i love that show too, i always seem to catch it on a marathon with parents.

but one part was so funny.

one of the twins was saying "Im a daddy's girl, im a daddys girl"
then a second later one of the boys started saying im a daddys girl too, it was soo funny.

[RealTalk]

I watched 6 hours of the marathon yesterday. The kids are too cute. I couldn't stop watching it. Then I kept asking everyone around me what they would do if they had eight kids.

[austinoutloud]

aghhhh i love this show.
the kids are adorable; i watched like the whole marathon yesterday.

[LoveToMySilas]

It sucks that it only shows on Mondays. Did you guys see her stomach during the process of having the sextuplets?

[iDecay]

^ Ah, that looked horrible. At least she got her tummy tuck.

one of the twins was saying "Im a daddy's girl, im a daddys girl"
then a second later one of the boys started saying im a daddys girl too, it was soo funny.

Hahaha, that was priceless!

[LoveToMySilas]

"AADEN THINKS HES A GIRL! HES NOT A GIRLLL!" Haha. That was so cute.

[LoveToMySilas]

Sorry to bump this, but I have to say, they grew up so much! I believe they're like turning 4 now. oh, they grow up so fast.

[Gigi]

I'm sure I've seen every single episode - I love the Gosselins! My favourite is Alexis - she's always smiling and happy! But I do love them all. They're absolutely adorable!

[Eww]

I've seen this show before & it's really cute.

..Have you seen the episode where she gets the surgery for her stomach ? Her stomach looks like a wrinkly ass. Oober nasty.


Edit: I didn't see that you guys already talked about that.
Oh well o_o

[Gigi]

^ Oh yeah I just rewatched it yesterday. It was gross, but I was surprised at how good it looked after...totally wasn't expecting such drastic results.

[Comptine]

OMG! I think they are the cutest things on earth.

I love Colin. "Mommy, you're pitty."

[Gigi]

^ Haha, I love how he notices when she gets her toes done and stares at them. <3

[RAWRstephishere]

I LOVE John and Kate plus 8.

I watch is all the time. (My mom got my watching TLC, okay.) They are soo cute.

[freeridefight]

I, for some odd reason, hate this show. I can't stand it. To me, the kids are always going crazy, but that's just kids. The dad just sits back and really lets the mom take over, and the mom in turn is bitchy/mean to the people around her.


blame it on my awful days in daycare, but that's just me.

[LoveToMySilas]

New episodes are on today, guys! (At 9 o clock!) Yay, Joel and Leah, my favorite babies.

I don't think you've seen enough episodes. I've seen almost all of them, and while Jon is sort of confused most of the time, he tries his hardest to help Kate. Kate's just a Type-A personality and is an absolute perfectionist, and tends to get impatient with Jon and the people around her. You might call that bitchy, but I can't expect any less from a woman who takes care of all those kids. Honestly, my mom is worse.

Watching them, they seem like they work really well together (editing tends to overexaggerate things), and I think anything short of amazing teamwork would be impossible with a family of twins and sextuplets.

[lovefooled]

The kids are adorable.

[LoveToMySilas]

I was lucky enough to catch the marathon yesterday and I'm amazed at how much they've grown. "Owie?" I'm surprised they actually listen to Kate when she disciplines them, without spanking as well!

[foxx]

I just started watching it. I like it
also flip this house also, and 10 years younger.
oldies.

[Sprague]

They're all so big -- this show is so nostalgic for me.

I missed the new episode today, thanks to the game , but I watched the episodes leading up to the new episode. Joel is so big, asking questions left and right! Next thing you know, they're gonna be full-blown teenagers, wrecking havoc for Kate. Poor Kate, haha.

[synatribe]

haha I only watch it because the guys half korean and I feel proud [no prejudice or anything]

[DoubleJ]

That show is hella cool to watch. I didn't know he was Korean lol.

[Sprague]

I didn't know he was Korean, either. o_o

[synatribe]

^ well only half, I think one time they went on a vacation to florida and he had a korean flag tattoo and he looks a bit on the Asian side but I could be wrong, lol:]

[Joanne]

Jon has the coolest eyes. xD

[freeridefight]

Little People, Big World is better!

/exclamation



It's an alright show, I like how sometimes the mom just wants to say I need a drink.

[Sprague]

Eh, half? He doesn't look it, although I agree with ms-jojo -- Jon does have pretty eyes. I've always wondered if they were contacts or not.

I didn't know he had a tattoo, either. Damn, I watch this so religiously and I'm missing so much of it. Why does TLC have it on such an irregular schedule. :(

[DoubleJ]

Yeah...The schedule that they have it on, is stupid.

[hypnotique]

LMAO

My auntie has 9 kids and doesn't do the amount of bitching these people do.
And her kids are little hitlers and they always getting in some sort of trouble.

She should get a show too.

[Sprague]

Yaaay, Memorial Day Marathon!<3

I loved the picnic at the park! And Aaden is so cute. x3

[libertie]

^I literally watched it from when I woke up all the way through the trip to Florida. So adorable. <3

[freeridefight]

Bah I've watched it all day.

haha the disney world trip was the best.

DONT SPIN IT JON, DONT TOUCH IT!

[Sprague]

Same here! I had spasms when I found out it was a marathon -- for once ><! I'm such a geek when it comes to this show. x3

I had previously seen most of the episodes, but there were a few that I hadn't -- like the zoo and the crayon factory, and of course the new memorial day one. :)

[BillyShakespeare]

I love the show.
I've always wanted to have a lot of kids.
So it's like this look into the future for me.
Maybe not sextuplets, but just a lot of children.
I love Kate's sense of humor.

[LoveToMySilas]

LMAO

Really? They're like the same age. Thats pretty cool if they are. Or around the same age.

Jon has the coolest eyes. xD

I know! Hes so lucky he got the recesive gene! (Forgot how to spell it.)

NEW EPISODE AT 9 TODAY GUYS!

[Packratofthemind]

LOVE this show. They are too cute.

[Sprague]

How was the new episode, Jane? I totally missed it. :(

Though, I didn't miss the marathon last Thursday! It was awesome. :3 Alexis is so cute x3! "Him nice. Him don't bite"

And Collin -- "Teddy bear is my buddy!"
I couldn't help but go crazy with his cuteness! x3

[towntown2]

I am absolutely in love with this show!
The sextuplets are getting big, now, and they're just getting more and more adorable.
My favorites are Leah and Aaden.

I kinda have a bone to pick with Mady.
She always seems so bratty, even in public.
But I'm sure she'll get over it.

And Jon's reactions to Kate when she's being "grouchy" are priceless.

[Tomates]

I havent caught many of the episodes latly
but when i do i notice how everyone gets a bit older and they are just so adorable!

[*chaneun*]

i love the little children<3

[Blyat]

It is a cute sho, watch it usually when there is nothing else on
it make me wonder how they have the patience to take care of all of them
but the children are adorable :3

[LoveToMySilas]

Oh man, I can't believe they're already 4. They're the same age Maddy and Cara were when the show first started.

Yeah...the schedule is pretty weird. Most of the time, I can catch it for sure on Mondays, Wednesdays and Sundays but I catch it on Tuesdays too...

[mackenziee]

I occasionally watch it.
It's really cute sometimes.
Kate gets on my nerves though.

[towntown2]

Wow, the more I watch it, the more I hate the older girls' attitudes.
If they were in my household, they wouldn't last a day.

[Joanne]

^ Well Maddie and Cara are going through the bratty stage... and I think Jon and Kate are handling it quite well. =]

[mizzkewl06]

^ they're all so cute & i like each of them for very different reasons. they all say the cutest things.

^ Well Maddie and Cara are going through the bratty stage... and I think Jon and Kate are handling it quite well. =]

yeah they've been rather bratty in the last couple of episodes... but they could be worse & i think Jon & Kate (even though they have their hands full) are doing a good job handling their little outbursts.

[LoveToMySilas]

At times, I kinda feel bad for the older twins because they don't get as much attention. But what can you do? You DO have 6 other brothers and sisters.

[Tomates]

man i gotta figure out when they are on.
I always miss it ;A;

[LoveToMySilas]

You can catch new episodes on Mondays at 9 or marathons on Wednesdays...sometimes Sundays as well.

[towntown2]

^^ Yeah, TLC puts on marathons of the show almost all the time.
But Monday nights are the best time to catch them.

Brattiness may be a phase, but there's always a chance of that brattiness carrying over into teenagehood.
Maybe it's a difference in parenting preferences [or rather, exposure to different types of parenting].

I do admire Jon and Kate for managing to provide their kids with some awesome opportunities [Disneyland, the Utah ski trip, etc.]
At least they're not like the Duggars.

[Joanne]

I don't know... from what I can see, I really doubt Jon and Kate would allow the kids to stay bratty. I think they're just kind of letting it slide for now because it's expected of them (the twins) to be annoying and attention-seeking. Jon and Kate seem to be quite strict when it comes to attitude, so I don't think the kids being brats when they're older will be a factor.

And weren't the trips pretty much paid for them by sponsors?

[towntown2]

^^ Oh yeah, that's true.
But not the kids' invidual days.

I think only the Utah trip was sponsored.

What ever happened to the Duggar family and their documentaries?
I'm surprised they never turned into a series.

[Joanne]

Yeah, the individual days are pretty flipping awesome!!

[towntown2]

My favorite one was Aaden's visit to the farm.

Aaden: "I can't see sheep!"
Jon: "You can't see what?"
Aaden: "Sheep!"
Jon: "Oh, okay. I thought there was a 't' at the end of that word."

Hee hee

[Joanne]

My favourite was Alexis'! Her love for alligators is just so adorable. =D

[redpeony]

Alexis and Collin and Hannah! awwwwwwwwww. :)

[chayze13]

I use to watch that over the summer,there wasn't much else on. .
It's quite amazing,

[stephhhx]

omg. in ny. this. show. is. like. the. chanel. of. tv. shows. i. love collin. and. aaden. leah. alexis. i. hate cara. maddy,. and. hannah.

[LoveToMySilas]

My favorite one was Aaden's visit to the farm.

Aaden: "I can't see sheep!"
Jon: "You can't see what?"
Aaden: "Sheep!"
Jon: "Oh, okay. I thought there was a 't' at the end of that word."

Hee hee

I love when Joel says "I have weiner!"

[Joanne]

"Daddies have weiners too..." LOL awwwww...

i. hate cara. maddy,. and. hannah.

omg, how can you hate ANY of the kids? I LOVE CARA AND HANNAH!!! Maddy's awesome too, even though she can be so obnoxious.

[Gigi]

Yeah, to say that you hate some kids on a reality show is just low.

And also, Cara and Hannah are like the sweetest kids ever. Maddy can be a bitch sometimes but what little girl isn't? I've seen plenty of girls who have a worse attitude in smaller families. At least you can tell that Maddy truly loves her siblings.

You know what other thing I love? Leah asking Jon, "Why do little girls have little boops?" LOL that was so cute! <33

[LoveToMySilas]

^ Omgsh, I was just about to post that! haha.

I mean, it IS a reality show. You can't expect them to be perfect.

[towntown2]

I love Leah.
She's so pretty.

Ah, Joel and his weiner!
"Daddies have weiners."

[StubbornFemme]

i LOVE this show. haha my friend was telling me about it and saying how i should marry a white guy and have kids like those. ahaha.

[yumbae]

Oh man, I love that show. It's so cute. My favorites are Leah and Aaden, but I feel like I shouldn't pick favorites because they are all cute.

[nyctophiliac]

What ever happened to the Duggar family and their documentaries?
I'm surprised they never turned into a series.

maybe because they're kinda boring? =/



I love Jon & Kate Plus 8.. this show is just too adorable! and I think Jon & Kate are just funny together..

I think it's crazy how their kids are only 1/4 korean.. and they look so asian O_O

[LoveToMySilas]

^ Yeah, its amazing how strong the asian gene is.

It makes me laugh how Jon is only 30 and he has 8 kids. XD

[iloveBrenden]

I love love love this show. The children are so cute! My favorite part was when Aaden was eating ice cream and his bib went behind him and he goes "I'm a super hurro!"

[LoveToMySilas]

^ LOL, I remember that. Aadens so cute!

[omgpink]

I love this show!! It's one of my favs!

[anzbex]

LOL i watch this show sometimes.Love the 900 notes she left for the babysitter!!

[omgpink]

Can't wait to see the new one tonight!! :D

[LoveToMySilas]

"Jesus made Adam from the moulds!"

[manic]

I like this show, its pretty cool.

I don't like the fact that they say if they can take 8 kids on a vacation then you can deal with your kids, yet they have friends and a whole crew to help them keep things in order.

[towntown2]

I'm a little uncomfortable at how much they seem to depend on other people for help.
Like Aunt Jodi. She seems to babysit them a lot, but Jon and Kate have never taken in any of Jodi's kids in return.
I understand that they are busy and they may need an extra pair of hands from time to time, but the favors seem like unreturned favors for the most part.

Except for the time they went Christmas caroling.
That was nice.

[LoveToMySilas]

I like this show, its pretty cool.

I don't like the fact that they say if they can take 8 kids on a vacation then you can deal with your kids, yet they have friends and a whole crew to help them keep things in order.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

They're lucky they got a group of well behaved kids, though. They could've turned out to be the worst bunch ever!

[Gigi]

I'm sure Jon and Kate return favours in their own way. Taking in another child is not a productive, nor a safe way to return such a favour. They already have 8 to worry about.

[brooklyneast05]

this show makes me want a kid

[omgpink]

"Jesus made Adam from the moulds!"

haha that episode was freakin adorable! :D

[LoveToMySilas]

^ Haha, she has so many alligators! Oh wait, "al-de-ga-dor"s.

[angelaaa92]

Jon & Kate + 8 is one of my favorite shows! Goodness those kids are cute :D

^^ Oh yeah, that's true.
But not the kids' invidual days.

I think only the Utah trip was sponsored.

What ever happened to the Duggar family and their documentaries?
I'm surprised they never turned into a series.

The Duggars do have a series, I was watching it the other day because it was on after Jon & Kate. It's called "17 Kids & Counting." It premiered just this past monday. It wasn't that good from what I remember...

[lovefooled]

I bought season one and two at Target a couple weeks ago. Love it.

Alexis is my favorite.

[Tomates]

^x2 i was watching something where they said that alot of their trips are sponsored and it helps potentially get customers out to the spots. They mentioned it with their skiing trip.

[Gigi]

I watched the episode yesterday. Aaden was SO cute. "What's that?" and she explains to him what the steamer did. And like 5 minutes later he asks again LOL! What a cutie.

I love how the kids are so sweet to everybody - like giving random people on the crew hugs. They're such sweet kids.

I watched the Duggars after J&K+8 and I HATE THEM. What the f**k was with their oldest son? They needed a freakin' chaperone with them on a date? And he asked his mom if it was okay to hold her hand...wtf?! I just don't get them.

LOL wtf for real?

[Gigi]

I know, and he already PROPOSED to her too. And she was wearing the SAME SHIRT as her mom.

I realize that that is a seemingly small detail, but it's vital information. What normal girl in America would allow herself to go out of the house wearing the same shirt as her mother?! It was honestly the most awkward proposal EVER.

[Joanne]

I met up with my parents for dim sum once, and ended up wearing the same thing as my mom (but in a different colour). You have no idea how embarrassed I felt. I think I wore my jacket the entire time.

[LoveToMySilas]

^ LOL, oh man, I know how you feel. Having the same bag as 3 other girls in my school is hard enough but I refuse to change it!

Well, I ended up only being able to catch the first 10 minutes of it. They already started shooting pictures for Halloween. xD

[Gigi]

If me and my mom come out of our rooms wearing the same colour, even if it's an entirely different shirt, we'll both cringe and one of us will change, without fail. Let alone an identical shirt!!

I don't really mind so much if I have the same bag/clothing as other people on the street or at school or whatever. It's just my mom. LOL

[LoveToMySilas]

Well, you can really blame the kids. They didn't really ASK to be in the spotlight. :/ Now that I think about it, I guess they are getting most of their money from the sponsers and the shows. But Jon still works.
