I feel like the only person in the world who hasn’t weighed in on the Jon and Kate split.

I bet you are wondering: Why should I care about what some news guy thinks about Jon and Kate. Well I feel like some of this will come back on the TV business in general.

I say that because there are so many people asking the question now: Did the TV show ruin their marriage.

Now I know that my form of TV is very different from the show TLC is putting together, but too many people think TV is TV.

The evolution of Jon and Kate is interesting. I remember my wife watching the show many years ago when those kids could barely walk, and could not talk. I happen to catch an episode where the kids visited Sesame Place in Langhorne, PA (a place I used to work). So I got into the show to some degree and one the girls shares my daughter’s name.

The paparazzi and tabloids have gotten a hold of the show now. That’s pretty much in part to an affair that may or may not have happened. The coverage and the attention has changed. It’s no longer about cute kids growing up. It’s about adults growing apart. If your marriage is falling apart would you have pulled the plug on the show? It’s a tough call because by some reports the couple gets $75,000 per episode. It goes a long way to feeding 8 kids.

I don’t blame TV in this instance. I believe there are many things we don’t know about this family. And I think we should keep it that way.
