REACT: SHOULD 'JON AND KATE' BE CANCELED?

TLC has shut down production of filming of the children of Jon and Kate Gosselin for their series, 'Jon & Kate Plus Eight' after the network received a cease-and-desist order from Jon Gosselin.

In an interview on 'Larry King Live,' Jon claims that appearing on the show is 'not healthy' for the kids and wants production to 'stop completely.'  He also claims that, in retrospect, he wishes that he had not done the show at all.

The action follows a decision by TLC to rename the series 'Kate Plus Eight,' with reduced involvement by Jon.  TLC has subsequently announced the series will now end its run in November, 2009.

Find out more about this latest stunning turn of events in the 'Jon and Kate' saga.

Do you agree with Jon that the series' production is detrimental to the kids, or do you feel that he is merely doing this for his own sake? 

Should 'Jon and Kate' continue or be taken off the air?  Why or why not?

I'm glad Jon put his foot down for whatever reasons.  The madness needed to stop for the kids' sake. 

They aren't this model family and whatever their problems, they just need to figure them out in private and not however they were for TV.  The show was becoming the "woe is Kate" show and she's the one that a year ago everyone  viewed as a nasty bee-och.

The show needs to go and let Kate do her own thing and Jon released for his trainwreck of a divorced dads deal.  And let the kids enjoy their beautiful big PA home, pool, treehouses, and whatever toys they've received and be normal little kids.

I think the kids need to be everyones focus should be on the kids.  I am sick of the parents being in it for what they can get.  Cancel the show, take care of your kids.  Time to grow up!

I'm not a fan of any reality show that focuses so heavily on children in that they can't do anything without cameras shoved in their faces.  I think it's very selfish of the parents to let this debaucle continue.

I like the show and if they keep doing this week to week shared custody and stays on tv, I think it would work. As in staying on tv.

Yes the kids have been thru alot, and so have Jon and Kate. Right now Im all for Kate + 8  :)

I really can't decide.  They both have valid arguments.

Why cancel a show that is very successful?  I truly don't believe the show caused their marriage to end this way, I believe it was Jon who could not deal with having 8 children and being in the national spot light.

Yes, they need a normal life now.  Since parents are not getting along, kids need to be sheltered from the limelight.  Actually, I am over these multiple family reality shows.  TV is grasping at straws for entertainment.

tlc should have made a financial arrangement with john for his consent to continue the show if they were going to cut him out,he is stil 1/2 of the legal guardian of the kids,instead of involving themselves in their legal battles and siding only with kate,i think that his striking back at the show ,is a reflection of tlc's management not trying to reconcile equitable parity in support of both parents,i find this to be no more then bad management on the part of tlc in their vain attempt to side with one side of a failing marriage,now nobody wins john,kate,the kids,and tlc

I feel badly for Jon, and totally support him. He has stood by and been beaten down pubicly for years by Kate. She has been a horrible wife and at times by her actions, a horrible person. But just becuase Jon moved on in public,  he is made to be a villain.
I totally agree with his decision to pull the kids off the show. Kate only wants to keep it going so she will have the income to keep up her big house, haircuts, gym memberships, days at the spa. If TLC wants to have a show about a single mom raising kids, that isn't what really happens in America.
I wish Jon and the kids the best and I really hope the public opens its eyes and sees what kind of person Kate really is!

NO No NO!! They should not be canceled or even seperated. They should be forced to stay with each other and present each other the same torment that I have endured as I clike thru the channels and find they "ON". If i'm suffering so should they, they both deserve each other, God only knows what sick person came up with the great Idea to have them on "MY" TV. Bill Johnson

I seemed to me from the very beginning that this has all been about what Kate wanted.  The kids need their parents to raise them, without the rest of the world watching everything.   Life is crazy enough, the kids' emotional well being should be the # one priority always !!!!

Am I the only one that noticed how Kate talked to Jon?  She would not let him finish a sentence and if he was allowed to speak, she put him down.  The show should not return next year, let the children have a normal life.  Hopefully the show gave them enough money to send their children to college.  My personal thoughts on Kate are not good, so I will keep them to myself.

Yes, I think the show should call it a day...the parents need to grow up and focus on parenting. The kids need to process the changes in their lives. Kate needs to shut the he!! up, and Jon needs to grow the he!! up!

Ilove seeing the children, but what I saw when watching the show is parents that need to grow up. Jon was poor me, I need more attention. Kate shares in the blame as she was its all about me and usually not to pleasant. I think the show should continue with Kate and the children, but she should behave more normal, not always how can I pamper myselt more.

Yes, I agree totally with Jon wanting the recording of the family
to stop. It is hard enough on the children to be involved with
parents who are seperating let lone be filmed during this
private time in their lives.

It seems that Kate has become greedy and wanted her glory out
of this and is willing to use the children to make money (that
she thinks they need) to buy things that are just temporal.
If her and Jon had not allowed this show to be a part of their
lives, I believe they would not be having the problems they
are having. Not everyone can handle the media and notority, like
the Duggers, they have not allowed greed to intercept their
minds and family and are still being a wonderful example to the
world.

Yes.  If the shows continues with just Kate its telling the young kids that marriage is not forever and a divorce is ok in todays society
