Jon & Kate Plus 8 Plus Law & Order Plus Jim Gaffigan Equals My Head Hurts
October 8th, 2009
Law & Order always gets the last word on any major news story, and next week they will again do one of their classic “ripped from your Twitter update” episodes. According to the New York Post:
In “Reality Bites,” airing Oct. 16, both the Gosselins and Suleman are mentioned by name in a plot revolving around a reality show eerily similar to TLC’s “Jon & Kate Plus 8,” which has turned the bickering, divorcing Gosselins into tabloid fodder. (The show’s since been renamed “Kate Plus Eight.”)
The show here is called “Larry Plus 10″ and chronicles the struggles of a single dad, Larry Johnson (Jim Gaffigan), who’s raising 10 adopted special needs kids by himself — after his wife, Joy, is bludgeoned-to-death.
A big thumbs up to the L&O crew for naming the fake reality show “Larry Plus 10.” It actually sounds a failed TBS sitcom from some alternate universe. On the other hand, haven’t the poor Gosselin kids have been through enough? Did the producers really need to brand their Law & Order counterparts as “special needs.” I do look forward to hopefully seeing Jim Gaffigan wearing Ed Hardey t-shirts, though. Consider it DVR’ed.
[Anyone else think Sam Waterson rocks a mean Kate Gosselin hairdo?]
