Jon & Kate Plus Ei8ht, Seasons 1 - 2

I really love Jon & Kate plus eight but was wondering why isn't every episode on the dvd set?

I love this show, but I never got to see the "Hit the Road" episode where they go to Disneyworld. I got this DVD set because according to many websites, including imdb.com, that episode is supposed to be included in season 2. However, once I put the DVDs in the player, I couldn't find that episode on the menu! Even though I like watching this show, I bought it mostly to see that one episode (because it's rarely on TV and it's the one episode I have missed). I'm very disappointed. I thought the DVD set was supposed to include ALL of the episodes from seasons 1 & 2.

The Gosselins are a remarkable family who are willing to share their lives with the world. I admire Jon and Kate for their courage to be real in front of the cameras. Their show is so fun to watch because the they're all so adorable; and Jon and Kate always works things out no matter what mishaps they have to face. Although I admire them, I would not want to have to walk a mile in their shoes. Bringing up two sets of multiples (one set being sextuplets) is an overwhelming challenge that is deserving of many standing ovations.

I absolutely love this show. I have watched every episode since it begain with the special. My 5 year old and 3 year old daughters love it too. We watch it every week. I completely understand Kate with all her little things people complain about. I would be the same way if not worse. I only have 3 kids and my house is just a crazy. She is an amazing mom to those beautiful children. I just wish that every single episode would be on the dvd's. My kids would be in heaven to watch them whenever they wanted. And some of my favorite episodes were when the younger kids were still young. I recommend this show to anybody who like family programming.

I discovered this show while trapped in a Motel 6 in Iowa City prior to the worst Graduate School interview I've had in my entire life.

TLC was running a marathon (which they often did and do, and I'm thrilled with the habit) and I tuned in because there wasn't really anything else on... and I was charmed. So very, very charmed.

I don't like reality shows. That's not a hardline rule, but I'm deeply pressed to think of a single 'reality show' that I'll watch more than an episode or ten minutes of. I sat through four hours of this show, straight out the door, and look forward to new episodes. Why? Because of this show's sweetness. Moreover, of how it isn't glammed up or white-washed or scripted. It's, basically, a bunch of home videos of eight wonderful children and the two parents that are doing their best to make it work.

Honestly, the kids are adorable and funny and loud and just plain kids. They have melt downs and get dirty and silly and have moments that make me want to cry with the aching sweetness. This is their childhood laid out for people to watch and enjoy, but it's also so, so honest. None of the kids (or the parents) are perfect. They each deal with stressful situations the best they can, but at the end of the day - like the opening says - there's love and care and I think there are a lot of families who could learn a lesson from that.
