TLC are like starving greedy sharks awaiting a feeding frenzy, let’s disappoint them! TLC is anticipating that this will be the best season ever with all the troubles this family is going through. I am making a plea to all who want to see this show off the air for the sake of these children and other exploited reality TV children that everyone turn the channel, do not watch anymore of this train wreck! I will not watch it! I'm just as curious as the next person though and while it may seem hard to turn away from a train wreck, it's not hard to turn it off when I picture those eight little faces so hurt and in need of help so I refuse to participate in the continued hurt of those kids. Their idiot parents don't know how to say no, that enough is enough because they are possessed with greed, more, more, moreeeeeeee! TLC won't stop the madness because they also are filled with greed, they don't give a hoot about those kids! It's left up to us the viewers and I hope we all can just say no and bring those ratings down to zil or as close to zil that they actually begin to lose money by continuing to air the show. That would be great! So, I make a plea to everyone who cares about these kids and other reality kids who are being exploited to refuse to watch this crap. All you have to do is turn it off. I know everyone is curious of the train wreck but you can get the info. you want from the newspapers and even online or on youtube w/out watching TLC. So those who care about these kids and other kids like them, please don't watch and let TLC know you will not be watching. Also, spread the word to others. Thank you all who refuse to watch this crap anymore and who let their voices be heard for the sake of the children. Hi all!

You seem to have fallen over backwards to accomodate these ladies, and you handled the final drama and the abrupt exodus very graciously. You are a gentleman in the best sence of that word. I may have come here originally due to those Gosselin posts, but have enjoyed exploring the rest of your site. Permission to lurk and or post in the future? Retroblog has a lot of fun stuff going on! RetroDan,

I appreciate it. yeah, this blog isn't "my life". I don't live and breathe blogging or the internet. So whatever "tragic" or "negative" happens on the blog, really don't amount to squat in real life. I'll take it or leave it. whatever. this whole site can go away with a click of a button. no big deal. doesn't affect me either way. I'll live. :P hey thanks for the support.

I guess you never got it. maybe it's in your SPAM folder? :) Lisa's blog is a better fit for the daily discussions on J&K. My blog isn't really centered on J&K. I blog on whatever catches my fancy so blogging about J&K everyday isn't really my thing. anyway, if you didn't get my email, just look for my comment from this morning on this page and you should be able to find the link to Lisa's blog. Sorry for the confusion. feel free to "contact me" if you have any more questions. actually Lynn, I forwarded you an email the other day to give you the URL to Lisa’s blog.
