Jon & Kate plus 8 sets new exploitation record with ratings of 8.9 million viewers for TLC

TLC recorded over 8 million viewers for their Jon & Kate plus 8  (and maybe 2 affairs) season premier. I'm not sure they're celebrating at the Jon & Kate household but somewhere there might be a television executive or two making plans for some Dr Phil style intervention to exploit the shows obvious marital problems even more.

It's not quite the Osbournes but you have to wonder what track this entire family is heading down. I've avoided the show entirely but my kids have been hooked. How many parents will let their kids continue to watch the TLC shows when the questions become "Dad did Jon cheat on Kate". Even before this season the parents never looked entirely comfortable with each other – unless each of them sitting on the far end of a couch is their way of showing affection.
