family

I don’t know this program, have never seen it, and doubt I ever will since I don’t have a television plugged in.  I did, however,  find the comment from TLC that the family has “evolved” rather interesting.  Why?  Because it provides further proof that evolution is not necessarily progress.  This family has not evolved, but has been broken. 

Kate plus eight minus Jon equals TLC.

The breakup of Jon and Kate Gosselin’s marriage this year changed the composition of the reality show’s November relaunch, the network announced Tuesday.

“Given the recent changes in the family dynamics, it only makes sense for us to refresh and recalibrate the program to keep pace with the family,” TLC President Eileen O’Neill said.

After 10 years of marriage, the couple announced their separation and divorce filing on a special one-hour episode of their TLC reality series “Jon & Kate Plus 8″ in June.

“I’m tired of smiling on the outside while I’m crying on the inside,” Kate said in June. “I’ve been doing that for a long time.”

TLC says the new show, which debuts November 2, will be “Kate Plus 8.”

“The family has evolved, and we are attempting to evolve with it,” O’Neill said. “We feel that Kate’s journey really resonates with our viewers. Additionally, the network is in development on a Kate project for 2010.”
