Good -> Bad
Honestly, three years ago, I loved this show. It was my reality show that I watched every Monday, and the episodes were epsecially good around the time where each kid got their "special day" out with Jon or Kate. It was even kind of funny to watch Kate pick on Jon and the kids mildly, and to be thankful my parents aren't like that . . And then . . . It got worse. Way worse. The parents were picking on each other and the kids, and then divorce and cheating came into the picture . . . Honestly, I would watch it again for an episode if it ever came on again just to see what's happened to it, but no more then that. It just kind of stinks now.

That's SugarCoated Child Abuse
Jon is an idiot, Kate is a little fame wanting, and the kids are victoms. Like others said, this isnt right for the kids, the parents pretty much chose their lives for them, to be famous, always to be famous. I dont want to give this show credit, I'm sorry, but I care more about the kids than me being intertaned. Fame breaks up families and ends up making the parents think they're above it all. People incourage the bad behavior too. What kind of life is being horded by camera crews? The kids are going to go crazy, the mom's already there. Even if I gave birth to 8 kids and survived, I wouldnt put it on TV. No matter how much it pays, money isnt worth throwing away the kids happiness. Attention loving snobs...

Poor kids
This whole cheating thing is not fair to the kids. I mean, they started out like a good, devoted family. Now it seems like neither parent wants responsibility of the kids, it's almost like "Oh, he/she cheated. I want a refund." That sounds weird but that's how I think of it.

Uhh... it used to be good.
It's a great show, but has a lot of BAD MEASSAGES. Kate is stressed at all times, the kids have terrible behavior MOST OF THE TIME, and Kate also gets the kids all excited because "they" are getting two dogs, when really she is the one who is picking them and naming them, because she doesn't want her dogs to be called dumb names like "Googoo" or something like that. Papparazzi is everywhere on the show and out and everything's about the divorce now. It used to be a great show. But it is enteraining at some parts, i guess.

Cool
John And Kate Plus 8 gives you a great look into what it is like raising 8 kids at ounce. The show is fun, entertaining, and somewhat interesting to watch. I love it.

The Kids Deserve Better Than That
I personally don't care for shows about a lot of kids being raised, usually I want to slap the parents.. It really isn't good for the kids to have to deal with this, maybe I'm wrong. But I don't like seeing their kids cry all the time, and it makes me think they only had kids to put them on a show. Children should never be used that way, they have feelings even if they are young. I hope they end all shows like this, I truely never found them interesting and I don't want to watch the kids cry for intertanment, I am not saying thats all they do, but Jon and Kate aren't the best parents. Fame fame fame... I put it off because I want it off, and off for ages 2+ because I don't want kids treated that way at all.

Inbetween.....
An alright show..more like a drama then a reality. I think there 2nd oldest,Maddie is unappreciateive,like her mother. I am sad that they are falling apart because I really like there show, but I see many resons why they are getting divorced.a alright show but that family is spoiled!there are also some reconizable brand names,American Girl,Disney World,Etc. it switches on and off with mesages, also, sometimes there good messages like putting up solar panels and other times there bad like with the divorce.I can't belive they got rid of there German Shepards and got crooked houses and what else there is!There life is almost perfect!An OK show for kids if they like drama.

Perfect!!
CUT KATE SOME SLACK!!! It's Jon who's the weirdo. Okay, Mady is so much of a brat that you can notice it whatever age you are. And also they didn't mean to have eight kids. They had Mady and Cara, and then meant to have one more. Who plans to have sextuplets? But Kate does love her kids, and so does Jon. This is honestly my favorite show. I have only heard one swear word ever. There are good role models, because in the earlier episodes Kate says, "Oh, honey." Kate never really mentions the weirdo, which is good. Cara and Hannah are so good, and you see it, and want to be just like them. I'm watching one, and Hannah is soo sweet. The boys are funny and cute, and Alexis is just soo funny. I especially love when the boys get potty-trained and Kate singing, "Aaden's a big boy, Aaden's in a big boy." People say this is bad, but it's not. Watch a couple of episodes, and you get addicted. That's what happend to me. I've been watching it on youtube since I got home from school. The point is, I love the show, and you should too.
