Not as good a previous seasons

"I really enjoyed the first 2 seasons of this show. Even though Kate would nag sometimes, it seemed like the family had lots of fun and loved each other. By Season 4, the show just seemed so staged. The kids seemed less happy, Kate was always putting Jon down. It is all about free trips and luxry. Just 1 year before we watched the family struggle on long road trips and it was a learning experience. Suddenly it is all limos and handlers for the kids. I watched season 4 to see what happens, but I sure would not want to watch it a second time. The first 2 seasons are fun to look back on andI feel are very re-watchable. Season 4 I feel is not and I feel is not worth the money. I wish they had stopped while they were still likeable."

Hopefully Helpful Information

For those who love the series these episodes only make it easier to love the Gosselin family. For those who were casual watcher's or who already found issue with the show or family these episodes give that much more reason to further dislike them. I personally enjoyed it when they were in their home living what seemed to be a normal life and came to think of them as a normal family. Here I found the series less interesting as you can see the fame they acquired through the show actually affecting their lifestyles and not just granting their children simple rights but granting them a new lifestyle where they can vacation seemingly on end and afford major trips to Hawaii. Like I said I'm not hating, just personally losing interest as I see the family I knew fading away, but for those who love this show and this family these episodes are a definite five stars. Though personally I can only give them three. Thanks.



May 27th, 2009 ***After the fifth season premiere and Jon & Kate's recent marital troubles the whole idea of renewing their vows in Hawaii seems redundant or contradicted a bit now. A lot of people seem to be hating on this couple, but while I agree they lost focus of what was and still should be important I do hope that they can get back on track and figure things out, possibly put a rest to this show and go back to enjoying their lives and what truly matters in them. I wish they'd at least stop the show for a while to clean up the mess their lives are becoming. It's sad to see this happen to a couple that started out with all their priorities straight and only a few personality quirks that each of us can really be guilty of."

Sadly disappointing downhill fall

"I've been an avid fan of Jon and Kate since season 1. I agree with the other reviewer who said that the first few seasons they (Kate especially) were all about family, being and doing things together. Now, Kate's gone what seems like alot and Jon's home with the kids in alot of the episodes. Or vice versa. It's a shame to see what was a family trying to raise their kids with values taken by dollar signs."

Like watching paint dry

"This family is such a sham. Notwithstanding the fact that Jon and Kate are having affairs and won't break up because of the cash cow that the show has become (it should be called Pimp my Sextuplets), this season is one big commercial. No normal family gets to do the quantity of trips and outings they do. I don't begrudge them these things but the show is supposed to be about a normal family, not some made for TV Monkee-esque family that deals with fame- not at least when they are crying "poor us" to churches and accepting love offerings and $20/pic of their kids. Save your money for something worthwhile."
