After racking up more than 10 million viewers of last night's show about Jon and Kate's Gosselin's divorce, TLC is putting 'Jon & Kate Plus 8' on hiatus.
The Los Angeles Times reports that next Monday's clip show, chronicling the highs and lows of the Gosselin 10-year marriage, will have some new footage. But the next all-new episode won't air until Aug. 3.
Apparently the decision didn't come from the family, but from the network.
Six new episodes of the show's 40-episode order have aired. But because of all the drama between the Gosselins, TLC doesn't have enough footage to put together new episodes right now. Apparently the production schedule had become very last minute. The Times reports that episodes this season were often completed as late as the day of airing.
Guess that means the folks over at Raleigh's Trailblazer Studio can catch their collective breath.
Assistant Features Editor Adrienne Johnson Martin would like to have her life turned into an animated cartoon.
