Reagarding alimony that Kate may have to pay: In Kansas you cannot get alimony if you are cohabitating. Is that correct in the state of PA as well?

Thanks for the info, Seamonkey. I guess they are tres mad @ him for stopping the filming. While I understand that part, what I don't understand is them (TLC) fighting so very hard to keep this show on the air. The ratings were @ a high of 10 million when they announced the divorce, but since it's been only Kate, the ratings dipped to 1.9 million. It's just not interesting with Kate only...nor very natural. It would end up losing TLC money, so I'm confused they want to keep this going.

I do not get Jon's issue. Get paid the same and work less.... you would think he would jump for that. He pulled this stunt for two reasons to hurt Kate and to get out of his contract with TLC. TLC should sue the girlfriend for slander for wearing those t-shirts out in public.

1.9 million is a very good rating for basic cable television.

I was thinking ok I will give you Kate is probably difficult to live with (so are many other women...) but she never did anything to Jon to prevent him from earning a income. He did that. She did not parade differnt men in front of her kids... He did. Ok I am off my soap box. I just hope he comes to his senses and works somthing out with TLC.

I thought they were the highest rated cable TLC show BEFORE the large spike caused by interest in the divorce announcement. Comparing current ratings to the spike ratings isn't statistically sound.. current ratings have to be compared to past ratings in normal times, or, even better, to the ratings for other CURRENT basic cable shows, I would think.

They were the highest rated TLC show before the spike. Not the highest rated cable show. I think TLCs top show now after the J&K spike is the cake show (forgot the name, brain fart). I looked around and can't find much in ratings for TLC. I found one J&K show in Jan had 1.3 million viewers, and one of their fall 2008 special shows had 3.3 million viewers. They seemed to go up and down.

The show has lost 80% of its viewers from the season premiere. It's down 60% since August. And this despite the never-ending publicity. It seems like viewers don't want to watch a show with just Mrs Gosselin and the kids, which is what they have had recently. I can't say that I blame them. It's not that entertaining to watch her brittle personality, even for a half hour. Jon's behavior softened hers and her behavior made his more tolerable. Now? I'd almost rather watch that colony of children in Arkansas. But not quite.

It was the highest rated show in premieres on TLC before the spike, and remains today the highest rated show in premieres on TLC. The season premiere was the highest rated show on TLC, ever.

John stopped the filming of more shows. They are showing the ones that were filmed before he did that.

If this is the highest rating show TLC has, it doesn't say much for TLC then. Hopefully they change their name soon too. The Learning Channel??? What a joke.

I think Jon's problem was he wanted to get paid by TLC AND be able to do whatever he wanted without their permission. His antics were ruining the franchise and I am sure he didn't want TLC telling him what to do.

The last two or three shows I saw had no Jon on them whatsoever. Just Mrs Gosselin going to some navy boat and encouraging her sons to point the guns at the paparazzi, Mrs Gosselin getting her basement organized, Mrs Gosselin wondering what she will do now that the kids are in school, Mrs Gosselin having a tea party, Mrs Gosselin going to an Amish farmer, etc. Oh, I see according to the episode guide that Jon appeared on September 14th when he taught the kids how to fish.

Part of TLC's issues with Jon is that he has not been cooperating with the filming he was supposed to be doing, hence the heavy Kate emphasis on the show. Jon DID have a brief interview on the back to school show. He flew back from Vegas to be there. I personally think they have made a mistake in emphasizing the "interviews" rather than the actual events. Stop telling the viewers what's going on and just SHOW it!

We also saw Jon walking his kids through mud to fish and fishing, Jon playing dressup with the girls, Jon taking Mady and Cara ot for the day that included driving the mini cars on a track and rock climbing. and Kate and the boys at a dude ranch. And he had his portion of the kitchen remodel where he was home while the guys came to plan and then to install stuff. And of course the night he had Kate sent away when he had the babysitter over, he was being interviewed for the show, so he says.

TLC doesn't care about the family they just care about the financial gain, as they should. I suppose there is no law saying a network needs to care about their "talent". For me TLC could have handled this families divorce better but again $$$$$ is the root of this entire mess.
