Although the number is well below the 9.8 million fans who watched the Gosselins announce their break-up on Jon & Kate Plus 8 last year, it is up about half a million viewers from the average number who tuned in to the final episodes of that show.
Kate Plus 8 was followed Sunday night by another special, Inside Kate’s World, which pulled in a respectable 3 million viewers.
The next episode of Kate Plus 8 will air July 11. In the fall, TLC is launching a whole new show – Twist of Kate -- starring TV’s favorite reality mom.
