Kate Plus 8 - Cancelled

Oh thank God!

After dragging this poor excuse of a show out for about 3 seasons longer than they should have it looks as though TLC may be looking for a new mega-sized family to exploit...

The network says, "TLC has decided not to renew another season of Kate Plus 8.  By the end of this season Kate Plus 8 will have hit the 150 episode mark (including Jon & Kate Plus 8); an exceptional milestone. TLC hopes to check in with Kate and the family periodically with specials in the future."

Thanks but no thanks, I don't need any updates...I think I'll just wait to check out the kiddies on Season 20 of The Surreal Life.  

Hopefully she can get a job elsewhere though - my heart bleeds for little Aidan and company - they NEVER wanted or asked for any of this.

Good riddance.

PS - if you give Octomom a show - I'm out!

UPDATE:  Kate released this statement:

"TLC cancelled it. I'm sorry ...

We've had a great run! Six years of whirlwind funfilled adventures thanks to TLC and our many many supportive &diehard fans!

While it is very sad for me and the kids (there were many tears at the breakfast table this morning!), we are looking forward with great anticipation to our bright future! As is very typical for me, I am choosing to see the positive in this situation and I am excited to consider the many more invigorating opportunities that may come my way!

I poured my entire self in2 the last6years of 'Kate Plus 8' & I can't wait2have the chance2challenge myself again w future endeavors! In the meanX,I hope 2have more time4motivational speaking,book writing &other fun work opportunities that come my way...And maybe even some dating??!! We wish our fans well. And remember, this is not 'goodbye'.I prefer to say 'See you around!' Xoxo

We will all stay on twitter! I know I'm not going anywhere!"

Yeah, not going anywhere besides the damn unemployment line!  Pfft!
