Product Description
When the Gosselins dreamed of having a family, nonstop chaos wasn t exactly what they envisioned. But the arrival of a set of twins and a set of sextuplets within five years has added up to Jon & Kate plus 8. And their dream family has turned into a mind-boggling juggling act. Seasons 1 and 2 take you into the lives of this unusual and amazing family as they experience the havoc, the challenges and the joys of raising multiples. Sometimes it s a comedy, sometimes it s a drama, but it s always an adventure!

 It's a good life, and it's theirs. August 14, 2008

I discovered this show while trapped in a Motel 6 in Iowa City prior to the worst Graduate School interview I've had in my entire life.
TLC was running a marathon (which they often did and do, and I'm thrilled with the habit) and I tuned in because there wasn't really anything else on... and I was charmed. So very, very charmed.
I don't like reality shows. That's not a hardline rule, but I'm deeply pressed to think of a single 'reality show' that I'll watch more than an episode or ten minutes of. I sat through four hours of this show, straight out the door, and look forward to new episodes. Why? Because of this show's sweetness. Moreover, of how it isn't glammed up or white-washed or scripted. It's, basically, a bunch of home videos of eight wonderful children and the two parents that are doing their best to make it work.
Honestly, the kids are adorable and funny and loud and just plain kids. They have melt downs and get dirty and silly and have moments that make me want to cry with the aching sweetness. This is their childhood laid out for people to watch and enjoy, but it's also so, so honest. None of the kids (or the parents) are perfect. They each deal with stressful situations the best they can, but at the end of the day - like the opening says - there's love and care and I think there are a lot of families who could learn a lesson from that.
Great show August 5, 2008

I really enjoy this show. I think it's very funny at times. I don't really like the way Kate treats her husband Jon. But I do think there household can be very stressful, and sometimes you don't mean to say things the way they come out. If you think you have a handful with your family of 2 or 3 kids you need to watch this show, and maybe you will rethink your opinion about your own household.

This is an enjoyable program. A loving family who aims to put God and each other first in their lives throughout the difficulties of raising eight very young children.
I think that because the Gosselin family is in such a unique position, everyone (including parents) should be careful before they judge, until they've walked a mile in their shoes.
This is Reality Television July 27, 2008

I have to admit I dont much care for reality tv because I feel like it is still staged. But Jon & Kate plus 8 is wonderful reality tv. I have three kids and I can relate to what this couple go through. Most movies make parenthood out to be a peice of cake....but there are always rough times no matter how good of a parent you are!! Their relationship is alot like me and my husbands! Sometimes you get frustrated and say things you dont mean, but at the end of the day you still adore your family. Awesome show.
Jeez people, lay off of Kate a little! July 24, 2008

What bothers me about some of the reviews is the bashing of Kate and her personality. Kate is a GREAT mom- you can see this just by the way she acts towards her children. Yes, she is a little demanding and controlling at times, but with sextuplets and twins, don't you HAVE to be that way for things not to be chaotic? Next time someone decides to criticize Kate, a mother in eight? Try walking a mile in her shoes.
