Look, I'm just going to be honest about this. I watched one episode of Raising Sextuplets, and while this show is supposed to be the non-soul-crushing alternative to Jon & Kate Plus Hate, it just isn't. First of all, having that many children is way, way too hard. It's just too hard! That premise will always be stressful to watch, no matter how functional the family is. The Table for 12 family is the most normal, loving family in the history of television, and it still raises my blood pressure to watch them simply try to prepare breakfast in the morning.
Then there's the issue of the Raising Sextuplets dad. There's something... obviously... off, I guess I'll say, about him, isn't there? I'm not going to make accusations and blatantly label the guy here because I'm sure he's a good father, but I just can't get past that major weird thing enough yet to watch the show. If you've noticed it too, you know what I'm talking about. If you haven't and I'm being crazy, then just ignore me and enjoy reality television's latest jumbo family addition. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a few very important Gosselin episodes saved up in my DVR to cry into.
Raising Sextuplets airs at 10 PM tonight on We, because they've somehow miraculously managed to stop screeching about all things Weddings! for one hour a week. You know it's totally killing them though. But if you're grossed out by that many babies, check out our Week in Preview for other viewing options.

I don't know, both Jenny and Bryan seem pretty down-to-earth to me...or as down-to-earth as any reality tv couple can be. Though I do have to agree, just the sight of that many babies makes my head throb.
I tried watching this show and it was just too boring for me. Also, there is stress with raising that many kids and this couple seems somehow fake to me - like there's something wrong but they are just not honest enough to let it be filmed, having learned from Jon and Kate. Who, by the way, have been very honest and that's why they've gotten the flack - sometimes you get upset, sometimes you aren't the perfect parent every frickin' day. And it's real. And it's everybody. And this new couple is just too lalala for me, it's just not real, it's fakey fake. And there is something weird about the dad. Not gonna watch it. Jon and Kate for me.
I watched the mini marathon today and I love this show.
IMO, the father and mother are down to earth. I like that way he plays with his kids and sometimes acts silly with them which they seem to love. I crack up when they call they boys "dudes".
I also like that they help each other out with the kids and it is not just one parent ordering another one around. The in-laws help out when necessary.
This is a refreshing change from Jon and Kate. I hope they will not change their interaction with kids or among each other.
Cannot STAND another show about women raising litters! Why is it that everyone was all upset about octo-mom and now here we have ANOTHER family with 6 at once and this is OK? God didn't intend for you to have that many babies in there at once... and hey, guess what, they are JUST LIKE Jon and Kate plus Hate! This mom is getting plastic surgery (surely for FREE, just like Kate!!) and I am sure the next commercial I see will be them "renewing" their vows in some exotic locale, again, at the expense of the TV channel. Blech! I'll pass thanks!
