I bought this for my wife and she loved it!! We've moved and haven't got cable back yet, so this was a great idea for her. It's her favorite show and she was having withdrawals. Thanks very much!!!
Child Exploitation!November 11, 2008 1 out of 20 found this review helpful
All I can say is these parents are exploiting their kids, that should be some sort of child protection agency in on this. They may not be abusing the kids, but by filming their every move and letting them support them finacially, is exploiting them. I think the writing is on the wall, Maddie is already acting out and the rest will follow...the kids will figure out they are being exploited and start resenting it.... This book and everything else the parents do, is to add wealth to their lives so they can get more material possessions at the expense of their childrens right to privacy. I think Kate is way to concerned with keeping the kids clean and 'camera ready' at all times. It's not natural and I really feel sorry for the kids. They may have more than most kids, but they have to earn the money for the family....the parents don't work...Kate acts like an obnoxious Queen Bee, not like a loving wife or mother....
Love The Show, But This DVD Is Missing 3 Episodes!October 29, 2008 31 out of 31 found this review helpful
I had read the other reviews here on Amazon and was concerned to read that some people thought the DVD set was incomplete. I ended up buying it anyway, since this was the only DVD set my local store had and I kind of needed it immediately. I've since watched it, written down the episode list, and compared it to the complete episode list available at IMDB. I thought I would put the information up here for other people considering this product, so they'll know exactly what's on this DVD and what's missing. So here's the list of the episodes which ARE on this DVD set!
Disc One: - 10 Little Pumpkins - Twins Turn 6 - Gosselins Go West - Shopping for Ten - Garage Makeover - Housekeeper Hunt - Pancakes & Potties - Jon Turns 30 - Sextuplets Turn 3! - Breakfast in Bed
Disc Two: - Gosselins Go Dutch - Sextuplets' First Dentist Visit - Red, White, & Gosselin - Sugar Rush - A Cow Purchase - Sara Snow Visits! - Babies & Bedrooms Part One - Babies & Bedrooms Part Two - BONUS: Surviving Sextuplets & Twins One-Hour Special
Just so you know, season one is complete, but season two is missing a total of three episodes. And strangely, some of these episodes are presented out of order, which seems odd. But anyway, just so you know, here are the episodes that are missing from this DVD set.
The Missing Episodes Are: - A Day At The Zoo (Season 2, Episode 10) - Hit The Road (Season 2, Episode 11) - How It All Began (Season 2, Episode 12)
I don't know yet if those three episodes are available on the individual season sets, because I haven't purchased those yet. But I like to know what I'm getting when I buy something, so at least now you'll know what's on this DVD set and what isn't. Personally, I still think it's a pretty good deal for what it is. However, I've removed one star from the rating simply because, in my opinion, the packaging should state clearly what's contained in the DVD set. I think it's disappointing that it doesn't explain that more clearly, so bad job, TLC! Other than that, though, the video quality is at least good, even if the DVD menus aren't anything particularly special.
That said, the show is *fantastic*! I couldn't recommend it more highly. It's so endlessly refreshing to see a family on TV that really honestly love each other and always strives to do what's right. Sure, they aren't perfect, but who is? The show never fails to make me smile, it's so fun to watch the darling little kids, and it's honestly just a whole lot of happiness crammed into half-hour segments. It's great for families, adults, kids, whoever! Give this show a chance and I know you'll end up loving the Gosselins as much as I do! Bottom line, 'Jon & Kate Plus 8' deserves five stars, but TLC deserves only 3 for not being clearer about the packaging. But hey, at least now you know!
