It appears the nasty divorce battle between Kate and Jon Gosselin has taken its toll on the couple's popular reality television show.I usually watch the show with my wife and I found the new post-divorce format to be very uncomfortable. Frankly, I'm surprised they didn't cancel the show altogether, but you can't overestimate the power of 8 cute little Asian-looking kids on the viewing public.
In a stunning announcement made Tuesday, officials at TLC said Jon has been officially booted from the show and the series will continue on without the father of eight. The show will now be called "Kate Plus 8," the network said.
The series will officially swap titles on November 2 to reflect the couple's divorce - which was filed for in June.
"Given the recent changes in the family dynamics," explained TLC President Eileen O'Niel, "it only makes sense for us to refresh and recalibrate the program to keep pace with the family."
The new show will chronicle Kate's life as a single mother raising her children - 5-year-old sextuplets and 8-year-old twins. The network said John will sporadically appear on the show but not on a regular basis.

This is much more PC. They'll show how a woman can raise a family and how a father is no longer necessary. I'm sure they'll give favorable mention to all of the Government Programs that are designated to take the place of a father.
Oh, you kid Mark!
Maybe the producers feel a little responsible for the breakup of the marriage, and want to provide for the kids.
NOT.
I don't know about anyone else but I am so over hearing about the gosslyn's
