was it worth the purchase it is entirely up you. if you wish to purchase this dvd to complete your series, then feel free to purchase. was it worth the family to move to a bigger house yes. it was worth watching how the eight kids was going to make the transition from the house that they were living in to the much bigger house. it was also fun to see how the kids would take care of two dogs.

This is Volume 2 of the fourth season. The Wedding is Volume 1. Everyone has their favorite seasons, episodes, and kids so I'm simply listing what is on the three discs. There are a lot of cute, memorable moments for everyone to enjoy. The Bonus disc episodes are very short clips , only two or three minutes in length.

My daughter has been in to Jon & Kate since they first came on tv, and even now that they aren't together anymore she still likes to watch the old episodes. She loves them, I don't know if she has a preference of past seasons dvd's, she has all of them and it seems like she watches them equally, I think she likes this one because they get the puppies on one of the episodes and she loves dogs. I've read some of the reviews on the Jon and Kate dvds some saying how they noticed tension between Jon & Kate, lets face it, Kate has always been bossy from the beginning, maybe adults tend to over analyze, I don't think a kid is going to notice any difference from these episodes as compared to the earlier episodes. Besides, your either a fan or your not. My daughter is and she loves them.

My daughter who is 10yrs old has been a big Jon & Kate fan since they came out on TLC. This is a must have especially now since you can't see them on tv anymore, if you are a Jon & Kate fan. It's a shame they aren't together anymore and adults may look at them in a different perspective but my kids like to watch it and if it makes them happy who really cares about all the personal drama in the media right now.

I really love the show and it's so nice to see the kids growing up. I'm sad the show is over but I'm glad I a
still able to buy them on DVD. the delivery came fast. only recommendation is to buy volume 1 and 2 together:) enjoy!!

This was a Xmas present for my 14 yr. old granddaughter. She loved that show. I know she has watched it several times and probably knows it word for word by now.

This is a great show! I have been watching since season one and so has my oldest daughter (who is eight years old). We were both deeply saddened by the rumors and tabloid exposure that they have had about their personal life. We only wish them all the best. They have given their children experiences that they would never have been able to have if they would not have agreed to doing this show. The show has even given our family ideas of places to go and different things to do. We plan on taking our children (we have 4) to try our hand at pottery/ceramics painting (which Kate took all the girls to in one of the shows). We will still continue to watch the show and look forward to purchasing the next DVD that comes out. Hang in there Gosselins!

With all the publicity for the show, I recently started watching. It's been fascinating to see how their lives have changed since season 1. I have purchased all seasons available and will get volume 2 as soon as I can. I love watching them. [...] JMHO.
