Looks like the TLC well is drying up! After a month-long hiatus, Jon & Kate Plus 8 ratings dropped a whopping 61%.
After a month-long hiatus, last night's back-to-back episodes of Jon & Kate Plus 8 brought in less than half the audience of the show's previous episode, which earned a record-breaking 10.6 million viewers. (In that episode, which aired on June 22, the couple announced they were separating after 10 years of marriage.)
Last night's first half hour, which featured Kate and the kids vacationing while Jon supervised their kitchen renovation, drew 3.9 million viewers. The following show, in which Kate went camping with the kids without Jon, was watched by 4.1 million.
That's tough love. TLC needs a pitch something along the lines of Hailey Glassman smokes bongs and engages in threesomes. Not necessarily wholesome family entertainment, but it might corral in some ratings. It's so crazy how quickly interest fades.
