From the BBC:

Recently Cancelled:
Still running:
No longer on the air:
My wife watches the show, her best friend wants to be them, and my neice is obsessed with them. And now they won't leave the headlines. First he's cheating on her, then she's cheating on him... Who cares? (And yes, I see the irony in perpetuating their media juggernaut by embedding a link to buy their first two seasons).
Here's the thing: she treats him like dirt. He wants the kids to play, she's worried about how messy their clothes will get. He wants to do something fun, she's worried that their going to learn something from the experience. She talks to him like he's a servant - worse actually, since you treat a servant with a level of respect if you don't want them spitting in your food....
I have to wonder - when it comes time for the divorce proceedings, and he asks for full custody of the kids and everything, can he use all five or so seasons of the show as evidence? The proof is all on tape, as far as I can tell....
