Kate Gosselin’s TLC Show ‘Kate Plus 8′ Cancelled

Kate Gosselin will be looking for employment.

The ratings of her TV show chronicling her and her children’s lives simply aren’t there any more and TLC has officially pulled the plug on Kate Plus 8.

“TLC has decided not to renew another season of Kate Plus 8,” the official statement reads. “By the end of this season Kate Plus 8 will have hit the 150 episode mark (including Jon & Kate Plus 8); an exceptional milestone. TLC hopes to check in with Kate and the family periodically with specials in the future.”

Gosselin, 36, began doing the program in 2007 with her then husband, Jon Gosselin with the original title of the show Jon & Kate Plus 8. The program followed the lives of the married couple raising their sextuplets and two other children.

It didn’t take long for things to go wrong and in 2009, in a one hour special aired by the cable channel, Jon and Kate announced their separation.

The couple imploded in the public eye with Jon having a pretty public mid-life crisis dating questionable women and not working and Kate received loads of criticism for everything from her demeanor to possible cosmetic surgery and how she was raising the kids.

TLC retooled the show and it returned as Kate Plus 8 and  for a while the ratings were phenomenal – reaching the 10 million mark.

But it wasn’t long for the once-suburban mom from Pennsylvania and she tried her hand at other reality ventures including a stint on Dancing With The Stars and an appearance with the kids on Sarah Palin‘s Alaska.

Gosselin remarked on twitter about the ending of the show.

“We wish our fans well. And remember, this is not ‘goodbye’.I prefer to say ‘See you around!’ Xoxo …” she tweeted.

The final episode airs September 12th.
