Because TLC must want a night off from exploiting obese redneck children and people who are addicted to eating graveyard dirt, they are airing a one-night special featuring Kate Gosselin and her band of unpaid sweatshop workers children. Via UsWeekly:
Kate plus eight -- six years later. TLC announced Tuesday, March 18 that it will be bringing back the reality TV family -- minus dad Jon Gosselin -- on its network for a one-hour special slated to air this summer.
"In 2007, viewers first fell in love with one of the most talked about families in reality television history," the network shared of the Gosselin family in its press release. Indeed, the Pennsylvania-based family rapidly rose to fame as the popular series chronicled two parents raising eight kids -- twins Cara and Mady, now 13, and sextuplets, Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah, and Joel, age 9.
I think "fell in love" with the family is a bit strong, TLC. We didn't love the Gosselins...we had a weird relationship with them that culminated in shock and awe as we watched Jon Gosselin wave a gun around George Zimmerman style at a photographer and Kate squirm in her Spanx on television as her daughters basically said with their eyes what an unfit mother she was. That's not love, TLC...it's a fun mix of pity and concern. Mix it with vodka and you have my last
