TLC:See, this is why we shouldn't "Tune-in". TLC will keep airing the show and will keep promoting Kate as long as people are watching. It doesn't matter if the show sucks, it doesn't matter how much she gets on your nerve when you tune in. All that matters are the numbers. And the numbers are in the 2 million mark.
"...Kate Plus 8 specials catapulted TLC to rank #4 among broadcast and ad supported cable in W18-34, beating NBC, CBS and CW."
Don't tune in. Period...
Just because you aren't singed up with the Nielsen Company doesn't mean you aren't adding to the ratings. This is a HUGE misconception.
Remember, we are all on digital cable or satellite TV. All of which has the technology to track your viewing habits. Some cable companies are even working with the Nielsen company to provide "anonymous data". Even watching TV on your computer's TV tuner will send data to your Digital Cable provider. This is the REAL reason we switched to Digital Cable.

If watching her makes you ill, just to be safe, don't even tune in for 1 second. Your eyes and ears will thank you. And you won't adding to the ratings.
Totally agree with you jibberjabbers! Let's all stop the lame excuses ... stop feeding TLC and Khate's bank account. I do NOT TLC nor Khate and haven't for over a year. It's bad enuff reading the recaps and feeling for those poor kids.
Anyone who just has to watch this show, you CAN view it on Youtube that night or the next morning. some person by the name of nohate4kate posts them. That person really does not like the exploitation. STOP adding to the numbers!! Don't watch it.
I stopped watching period. The new show isn't even as good as the old show either.
