Good riddance

TLC cancels Kate Gosselin's reality series 'Kate + 8'Rico says this was, if not the worst show on television (ever), then surely the second-worst, but Slate has the story of it's richly-deserved demise:
TLC's fascination with Kate Gosselin and her bountiful brood has come to an end: The network has canceled "Kate + 8". "TLC has decided not to renew another season of Kate + 8," the network said  in a statement. 

Kate, her ex-husband Jon Gosselin and their eight children spearheaded the multiples-movement on television back in 2007 and helped solidify the Discovery-owned cable network in the ratings with "Jon & Kate + 8" and its follow-up "Kate + 8", the name it took on in its sixth season.

By the end of this season "Kate + 8" will have hit the 150 episode mark (including "Jon & Kate + 8"), characterized by the network as an "exceptional milestone". The final episode of "Kate + 8" will air on 12 September. The network says it hopes to check in with Kate and the family periodically.
