Jon and Kate + 8

As a child did you ever watch "The Brady Bunch" and wonder what life would be like if you had six children? Jon and Kate + 8, a reality television show that airs on TLC answers the question what would life be like if you had eight children - and it's nothing like the 70's television show.

Jon and Kate + 8 follows the lives of Jon and Kate Gosselin and their eight children: twins Cara and Madelyn and sextuplets Alexis, Aaden, Colin, Leah, Hanna and Joel. It's a real "day in the life" program, as Kate is adamant that the show be reflective of their life and not scripted. Viewers will see it all - the good, the bad and the ugly (like the episode where we see poop on the floor).

The show began with an hour long special called "Surviving Sextuplets and Twins." The Gosselin family was contacted to do this show because they were the only family with twins and sextuplets. During that show Kate showed her post pregnancy belly which prompted a response from a very generous viewer, the wife of a plastic surgeon. Her husband offered to do a tummy tuck for her and thus their second hour long special "Surviving Sextuplets and Twins One Year Later" was filmed and aired.

The show originally aired on the Discovery Health channel but beginning with Season 3 new episodes air on TLC on Monday nights.

Besides the half hour long episodes, there have been two hour long episodes detailing family vacations. Jon and Kate Hit the Road - Gosselins go to Disneyworld and Gosselins Go Skiing.

This week on “Survivor,” the few left in Foa Foa was hoping for a merge week. The merge occurred and what followed was whole lot of game play.

“So You Think You Can Dance” is still a bit messed up due to the World Series, so this week, two more would leave the show based on the judge’s decision. Noelle (yes, for now she is staying on the show) and Russell did a hip hop number that Adam said left them a bit overwhelmed. [...]

The results show for week 7 of Dancing With The Stars began with an encore performance of the Tango performed last night by Donny and Kym, Joanna and Derek and Kelly and Louis.
