Needing some help, the Gosselin family agreed to be featured on the NBC reality show, Home Delivery. At the time, the sextuplets were just 17 months old. This appearance led to a one hour special called Surviving Sextuplets and Twins that premiered in 2006 on Discovery Health. With these reality show appearances, the family hoped to clear things up in the community and explain their situation. Well, that special did so well that TLC offered them their own show, Jon & Kate Plus 8.
