Their show is destined to become a bigger failure than their marriage!
Jon and Kate Gosselin have their work cut out for them if they want to make it through the next 25 or so episodes of their once a hit TV show, Jon & Kate Plus Eight. According to the ratings, viewers are no longer interested in the Gosselin brood and their marital problems.
Once the highest watched show on the network, now the ratings have been plummeting. This week’s episode only attracted around 3 million viewers, which is down 4 million from the previous week. Experts believe that the show, on its current course and format, will not survive.
Robert J. Thompson, founding director of the Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture at Syracuse University suggests:
“I don’t know if the show can make that new transition [from two parents raising eight kids to one parent raising the children]. It’s like if The Cosby Show, mid-season, suddenly became Married With Children.”
It’s true! Who wants to watch that?
Perhaps it’s time for a new line-up. They could do two new shows, back-to-back. They’ll start with Kate Plus 8, then follow it up with Jon Minus Dignity & Responsibility.
Of course, they could also introduce Homewrecking Hailey on the show. That would certainly boost ratings, all the while killing any chance for Jon to redeem himself with his ex-wife and America.
Do it!
