How do you raise eight children under the age of eight? TLC’s JON & KATE PLUS 8: Seasons 1 & 2 brings you the answer as it takes viewers inside the nonstop world of caring for two sets of multiples — two-year-old sextuplets and six-year-old twins. When the Gosselins dreamed of having a family, nonstop chaos wasn’t exactly what they envisioned. But the arrival of a set of twins and a set of sextuplets within five years has added up to Jon & Kate plus 8. And their dream family has turned into a mind-boggling juggling act.

Ordinary life events like pumpkin picking and birthday parties become extraordinary when you have two sets of energetic multiples. From chasing eight kids for 15 minutes to putting on 56 pieces of clothing to cleaning 80 sticky fingers during one meal, JON & KATE PLUS 8: Seasons 1 & 2 showcases the amazing Gosselin family unit and all of the love and rough and tumble patience it takes to get through 24 hours. Hardly your typical American parents, Jon and Kate Gosselin show how they try to beat the odds to make sure their brood has a normal, happy childhood. Seasons 1 and 2 take you into the lives of this unusual and amazing family as they experience the havoc, the challenges and the joys of raising multiples. Sometimes it s a comedy, sometimes it s a drama, but it s always an adventure!

The DVD set includes 18 half-hour episodes, plus a bonus one-hour special. Buy Jon & Kate Plus 8 Seasons 1 & 2 DVD. The couple will also has a book coming out toward the end of the year. The book is entitled “Multiple Blessings: Surviving to Thriving With Twins and Sextuplets“.

Three Delivery synopsis

Years ago, an evil young apprentice named Kong Li unleashed the power of a magical cookbook, scattering its dangerous recipes throughout Chinatown. Thanks to an ancient spell, a force field was placed around the city, keeping the magic in the book. For many years, the rest of the world was protected, but now Kong Li has returned to find the powerful recipes. If he succeeds, evil power will be released and the world will be in danger.

Luckily, three teenage heroes skilled in Kung Fu have been trained to stop Kong Li. When orphans Sue, Sid and Tobey are recruited by Nana to make deliveries for Wu’s Garden Chinese restaurant, they see it as a chance to move out of the orphanage and ride cool bikes. Little did they know that every evening they would be locked in a lightning-fast battle against evil for the fate of the world.
