Humanity took a step in the right direction today, as TLC announced that it will not renew Kate Plus 8 for another season. The show began as Jon & Kate Plus 8 and initially followed Jon and Kate Gosselin, their eight demon-spawn children, and Kate's cavernous uterus as they sought fame and tabloid cover stories. After Jon and Kate's SHOCKING break up in 2009, the show was renamed Kate Plus 8, which still rhymed, thank god. The show is currently in its eighth season. And though it won't see a ninth season, TLC may still order the occasional special to keep us updated on how crazy Kate is and how doomed those poor kids are.

Look for Brickleberry in early 2012.
