Jon and Kate Gosselin's 10-year marriage has ended.
And so has their TLC reality show. Sort of.
TLC announced on Tuesday that the show will be renamed Kate Plus Eight, beginning Nov. 2.

It will continue to focus on the lives of the young Gosselin twins, 8, and 5-year-old sextuplets but with a deeper focus on Kate's role as a single mother.
"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 in a statement. "The family has evolved and we are attempting to evolve with it; we feel that Kate’s journey really resonates with our viewers."
She added that the network is in development on a Kate project for 2010.
Lately, the two have given the impression that they want to branch out.
Kate, who guest hosted The View earlier this month, recently filmed a pilot for a daytime talk show with Paula Deen.
"I've been given the gift of gab, so why not use it?" she said at a women's conference earlier this month.

Jon also has shopping around a reality show called The Divorced Dads Club, costarring Michael Lohan, among others.

I aslo think that the show is asome and wish that it wouln't have had to stop. My favorite little one on the show has to be aden or Alexis because they have the best additude but they are all so adorable!
I am very glad that the show is coming back!I knew this would happen soon after jon Gosslin sued TLC. I knew that he would run out of money and have to restart the show, or Kate would stand up for herself and do what she really wanted. Any way can't wait for he show to start!:)
I predict very low ratings.
Look we know that she can live on a nurses salary but they bought that house and want to give their kids the best that they can give them. It is what the kids have been brought up on. Jon knew when they bought the house he was unhappy and was cheating but he wanted the material things just like Kate. He is upset because she got primary custody and he got what he wanted a apartment in NY and a young girlfriend. He is so unhappy with himself and blames every one else. He is so successfull he can't even keep a girlfriend. Kate is just trying to take care of 8 kids the way they were accustomed to being taken care of. He wants a 9-5 job but he wants the money and material job that a reality show gives. She has 2 or 3 books out and is moving on with life he is just mad because she did it easily and he is struggling. Wonder if he pays his child support or yea he isn't working and a 9-5 won't give him the money to pay rent in NY and allow him to pay support! He just needs to grow up. Quit complaining about Kate and do whatever it is that he wanted when he wanted to cheat and leave. Hopefully he will realize that Kate does what needs to be done to take care of and support the kids. Remember he is the one that wants to move back to the house and live there so he can take care of the kids when she is away supporting the kids.
don't you get it yet- Kate is a money hungry attention seeking b. she is not concerned with her kids happiness- she leaves them with nanny's all the time and spends 7000 dollars on hair extentions- no single moither I know does that-let alone can afford nannies to care for the kids. shame on her- she wants fame not motherhood. I pity her children- they will grow up resenting all the time mommy dearest spent away from them- they will watch the tv reruns of how she treated John on the original show - then she will have to answer for her behavior then. when will tlc stop allowing this woman to use her kids for her ownb agenda- she could support her kids on a nurses salary. I do it every day and i don't live in a mansion and have raised 6 children- she is just a greedy good for nothing.
i loved john and kate plus 8 but i think "kate Plus Eight" is gonna be better. Kate is the most awsomest person in the whole world. Some people may not agree with me but she deserves a better life. I HOPE THE SHOW REALY DOESE PERMIER!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Kate deserves a happier life without Jon. I can't believe what he's done to her. He doesn't think about his family just about himself..
i taped the show the night it aired,i just now watched it and im so embaressed for jon, hes insecure and hes jealous that kate is way more liked and succesful than he will ever be...bottom line! he makes me sick and hes not a good parent! he keeps saying now all the sudden its unhealthy for the kids to keep the show going, omg what about when he got caught sleeping with a twenty something teacher...is he serious????!
jon made a fool of himself on larry king live, he could barely speak without messing up when the show started jon was all up for the cameras filming jis kids i mean....hello he,kate and the kids have made a fortune hes mad cause kates more outgoing, more of a parent than hell ever be and hes jealous cause tlc fired him from the show we all know thats why jon is being a jerk!!!!
Eileen O'Neill has exploited the whole Gosselin family. She is an evil, nasty, greedy nobody.
OMG - "focus on Kate's role as a single mother" - they've failed to mention her staff that take care of her every whim & wish...oh yeah and all those kids! I thought TLC was the Learning Channel not The Low Class network? What more can we learn from this show besides greed and arrogance will destroy a family?
Once it is the Kate plus 8 show, I will return to watching. Featuring Jon is a joke. He is such a loser and I stopped watching once he flaunted his slutty women. Those kids and Kate deserve better. Good for TLC for kicking him off. Kate and the kids are what really matter. People bash Kate, but Jon is the one that cheated.
Jon is going to go to LKL tonight - hopefully he won't make himself out to be even a bigger loser and jerk like he did with Chris Cuomo on ABC. He complained that Kate called him "lame" and "loser" -- call it what it is, it is what it is!!! Jon Gosselin grow up and become something instead of a deadbeat loser!!! Thank God his 15 minutes are FINALLY up!!
I AGREE WHOLEHEARTLY WITH JON IS A JOKE. WHAT A LOSER, KATE IS BETTER OFF WITHOUT HIM.
EVERY MEDIA OUT LET IS SLAMMING JON, THIS CHILDISH PLOY IS BEING LAUGHED ABOUT ALL OVER. JON IS A JOKE. EVERY ARTICLE I READ IS AGAINST JON AND THIS MOVE. EVERYONE SEES THE TRUTH HERE, AND THAT IS HE GOT FIRED AND HE IS MAD SO HE WONT LET THEM FILM. TLC EVEN RESPONDED TO JON'S ERRATIC BEHAVIOR.
