TLC has released their summer show schedule and a certain show many have been eagerly anticipating is on it!
Yes, Kate and the kids return to the air on Sunday, June 6th for what is expected to be a series of specials.
Also, IW would like to wish a very Happy 6th Birthday to the sextuplets: Aadden, Collin, Joel, Alexis, Hannah and Leah!
Feel free to discuss Kate’s new show and other interesting Gosselin news in this thread.

There is a woman named Marie who is posting over at Sage’s blog saying she is a family friend and the people running the facebook page are not the real Kreiders.
I am just curious if you were able to verify them as the real deal. I thought the sister was shown in one of the ROL pictures. It looks like the picture on facebook.
Happy Birthday Sextuplets…I hope you have a wonderful day.
It’s hard to believe they are six already. Time sure flies.
Thank you, JulieAnn.
I can assure you that we have done our homework on this one.
Anya, do you have any idea what they mean by “specials”? Are they filming a small number? Are they filming regularly? I wonder if they are taking it slowly because of the past year’s brouhaha, and they want to watch ratings before they commit to a full series?
It should be very interesting.
Thank you Anya. I was sure that you did.
Hi Ann I think they are only doing 6 or 8 shows. I read that somewhere but can’t remember the exact number.
I was watching TLC and I thought they said Kate + 8 was on Memorial Day or did I hear wrong. Is that when the summer season is starting?
Ann, my impression was similar to JulieAnn’s – that it would be a limited run summer series. I think TLC frequently puts their “specials” on Sunday nights. I believe there was one on Josie Duggar last night. (Did anyone see it? I DVR’d, but have not watched yet).
Paula, I am not sure. I haven’t seen the ad you reference, but I have seen others comment on it on other blogs. It does seem TLC is doing a big push for all their summer shows that are returning, including “Cake Boss”, etc. The first of their summer line-up probably does start Memorial Day weekend. Maybe the wording of the ad was confusing – ?
I’m really looking forward to this. It’ll be nice to see the kids again, outside of the tabloid photos, which I don’t really approve of.
Any word on Twist of Kate? Is that going to be a fall show, I wonder?
I saw that article on TLC also and I have a funny feeling that Twist of Kate might come out towards the end of summer .Whatever happens I only wish success and good ratings for Kate and the children.
On the other end of the spectrum when I saw Jon remark on one of the tapes that he wasn’t sure if he would see the tups on thier birthday I said to myself what a bunch of bull. After reading TMZ and ROL my thoughts were pretty much confirmed. Due to the custody/support issue I knew that Kate was probaly still pretty angry over that, but I knew also that she would let the kids be with thier father on thier special day. I know it is difficult for anyone that goes thru a divorce that it takes time to heal. But Jon’s seems to keep throwing flames into the fire to create drama when there is none.
Anya, I saw the ad again and I misinterpreted it the first time. Cake Boss is starting Memorial Day and Kate + 8 is June 6th.
Excited, excited, excited, and will wait anxiously for the debut. Nerdgeekville supreme leaders are excited also as is Mr.L and our 5′s, the 3′s not so much. They jumped and acted excited only because the rest of us were. Even my sibling and his fam are fans because of the multiple’s connection.
FYI, Mr.L and I are discussing the pros & cons of bringing 2 more babies into our world. My egg always splits so the probability of having twins again is 98% according to my ob-gyn. I’m very excited to share this news with all of you even though we are still in the discuss stage. Mr. L is all set to begin and I would like to wait until the 5′s are being schooled which will be this fall. Tell me what you think. I welcome all viewpoints except those kind that appear on the nasty dark blogs.
Can’t wait for Kate and eight. Let’s all eat cake and celebrate.
We are aware that IW readers often read more than one blog for Gosselin news.
Recently, a poster by the name of “Marie” has submitted numerous comments to the Sage Way Express blog calling into question IW’s credibility in publicizing the “I’m Voting for Kate in Life” Facebook support page. Additionally, “Marie” tried to submit a comment to IW this morning asserting again that she is an insider and the family is not involved with the Facebook support page. We chose not to publish her comment.
As we have said from the beginning, IW is not trying to convince anyone of anything. We encourage everyone to make up their own mind regarding the authenticity of the Kreider family’s Kate support page.
That said, it might interest readers to know that “Marie” - who claims to be close friends with the family – is not at all impartial when it comes to the Gosselins:

Trust me, we did our homework on this one too!
Well, well, well, guess who just protected her tweets???
Luckily, we took a screen shot.
I’d share it all with you, but trust me, it’s boring. Tweets to Tony Dovolani and Jon Gosselin and a few other bitter comments about Kate. Nothing original or interesting at all.
I don’t know if ”Marie” will be getting a Christmas card from the Kreiders this year, however.
Thanks, Anya.
FWIW, I started Gosselin blogging in earnest after GDNNOP (the forerunner of IW) outed Pennmommy, et al., as a fake. I didn’t have the IP addresses or screen shots or even the spidey sense that the moderators at GDNNOP (our Pam, Anya, Jennie, Erin, and Nancy) had. I “fact-checked” the story myself and saw that they were 100% right.
They did do their homework this time too.
IW, Is an A++ site because they do their homework:)
I agree Momsby!
Hope the Sextuplets had a wonderful birthday!! Jennie, I don’t approve of the paps’ pics of them either.
Wonder if after filming of both shows, if Kate will be doing a book tour? I realize it may be late, but I bet if anybody, she’ll still dry huge crowds even at a later date.
But Jon’s seems to keep throwing flames into the fire to create drama when there is none.-Diane
I think so too Diane. He seems to be the root of all the problems. I just wish he’d grow up and understand how he’s hurt his family.
Wow, Lindsey you are what I’d lovingly refer to as a Fertile Myrtle! Just the fact that you know the odd’s and after two set’s of twin’s that your even considering more indicates to me you must really love having kid’s. That’s amazing, you’ll know if & when it’s the right time for your family. I just would not recommend trying to compete with the Dugger’s…I don’t think that many babies could possibly be good for your body.
With the Dugger’s, there’s also the issue of Michelle’s age and how closely spaced the babies are. As time takes its toll, none of us bounce back from anything as well as we did when we were younger.
Well, well, well, guess who just protected her tweets???
Well that’s a huge shock isn’t it? Those “insiders” have to be careful you know…..
