My Jon and Kate rip-off: “I’m a slut and I made all these babies”

WE tv and Bravo are are doing their own version of Jon and Kate. WE‘s Jon and Kate rip-off is Raising Sextuplets and Bravo’s version is Sixx Designs.

How about some originality networks? Why is everything we do now an imitation of something else. Networks are so afraid to take risks that they are more willing to throw their money away to copy a working format/show than put something new and original on. I’m sure the shows will be very interesting to watch, but come on…two concurrent rip-offs??? It’s getting a bit much, don’t you think?

About

Although comedy is her profession, Nadine has accomplished a lot in her young age. She is a national champion black belt, a world-class soccer player, and an avid snowboarder. She started playing soccer at the age of 4, and continued playing through college where she majored in Biology, but quickly realized her destiny was to tell jokes, not to wear a lab coat. So she decided to be funny while finishing her Bachelors Degree in biology and continued on to get her M.B.A. Nadine’s comedy style is much like her athleticism, fearless. She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments. These days Nadine splits time between the stage, a radio studio, her computer blogging, and a television studio. Nadine’s TV, Radio, Writing credits include: national commercials, talking head roles on E! Entertainment, Showtime’s Hot Tamales Live, The Skinny: Fat Free News, The Sunny Side of The Truth: Real World Hollywood, TVgasm, Zazreport, Daddy’s Girls, Jerseylicious, celebrity interviews on Mania TV, a weekly half-hour television show that syndicates to colleges across the country for National Lampoon and a nightly radio show on XM Satellite Radio.

    Nads,

    Thank you for posting about this. Watching families with a lot of kids was funny and interesting a long time ago.

    Back when The Waltons were prime time and the Brady Bunch seemed like a lot of kids, we enjoyed watching their antics.

    However thanks to fertility drugs instead of big families with a lot of different aged kids, we have a whole litter of kids all the same age. And of course, this does not include The Duggar family and their 18 kids.

    In the past, people with a lot of kids had to sacrifice and do without and share things. These new TV families all get help from the networks and live in nice homes and seemingly have none of the real problems of raising kids. Like getting in trouble at school, fighting with their friends or losing library books.

    I think the time for these shows about big families has passed, but then again, I don’t run a network.
