TLC Cancels Kate Plus 8


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.

... Julianne Moore is developing a new series over at HBO based on the novel Dope. The drama would star Moore as a former heroin addict who becomes a sleuth in 1950s Manhattan, so of course everyone is already comparing it to Mad Men, which is incorrect

Daniel Tosh is working with Comedy Central, home of his hit web-video show Tosh.0, on a new animated project. Brickleberry centers on a group of "dysfunctional forest rangers at a national park." This is not to be confused with the recently announced Demetri Martin+Fox project that's described as "a family workplace comedy set in the California Redwoods," but it will be. Look for Brickleberry in early 2012.
