Awesome Movie

This show is all about lazy parents making a living off their children. They had jobs that would have earned enough to support this family in a simple way, but they didn't want to work. So they put the kids to work. And don't believe for a minute that it's just the kids living their lives. There are plenty of examples of things done for the show that any sane parent would not have allowed.The parents insist they do it for the kids, but the reality is they only think about all the goodies they get, the free trips, a fancy house, free stuff. The kids don't care about that. All they want is to be able to play with their friends, not be humiliated on national television, not having to do stuff for the camera, and to have a childhood, which has been stolen from them by greedy adults. And they will probably have nothing to show for it when they turn 18 but resentment.Don't support this exploitation. It's a travesty that a network calling itself the The Learning Channel has become the sideshow carny channel. Please, do those children a favor, boycott the show and the sponsors and let the sponsors know you won't buy their product so long as they support harming children.

I thoroughly enjoy JON & KATE + 8. It's better than anything else on T.V.: educational and entertaining. Jon and Kate are excellent parents and the kids are darling. Kate is lovely and is so patient with the kids when disciplining them: she provides appropriate consequences without raising her voice. Jon is also a great husband and parent. Kate's teasing and interrupting Jon, however, is abusive and stymies communication. My mother's "playful" teasing wore down my dad. Maddie loves her mother and I think she is reacting to Kate's behavior, having to compete with her for her own identity. Jon's better at guiding the older girls. I just wanted to share this. I still love the show and am a faithful viewer.

I'm a single parent with one daughter. My daughter is 11 and she and I really enjoy watching Jon & Kate plus 8. It's a great show and Jon and Kate do a great job. I could not imagine having that many kids but if I did I would do the same by taking care of them. My mother had 8 but not at the same time. The only comment I'd like to make because I am divorced and raising my daughter alone. I think it's great that Jon and Kate get away and have dinners alone from time to time. The only thing I notice and my daughter often comments on, is the fact that Kate is so bossy. On several shows I notice how she speaks to Jon as if he was one of the children. I was watching one episode were Madeline commented that her mom bosses her dad around and she's the queen bee. That's the only thing that really bother me. But, it's nothing against the show I just had to express that.Sincerely, faithful viewer

I watch the TV show "Jon and Kate Plus 8" a lot. The show is so real and that's why I think it is so good. For parents that have two, or more children, it is a great way to see how these parents manage with a set of twins and sextuplets! I think the contrast of personalities of Jon and Kate are great. Jon , being the more "laid back" one and Kate , so organized and somewhat "over-the top" about certain things, keeps things very interesting. As parents , I think Jon and Kate do a wonderful job. They love all their children and do things with them that "normal" parents do. I hope the shows continue as I would love to see how all the children grow and progress in this large family.
