Following a media-frenzied month-long hiatus, TLC’s “Jon and Kate Plus 8″ returns tonight amid speculation about the show’s future.

Since announcing their plans to divorce last month, Jon and Kate Gosselin have faced quite a few life changes, all under the camera’s watchful eye.  Now audiences will have a chance to see those changes reflected in the show.

According to EW.com, the show has done away with interviewing Jon and Kate together on the couch, choosing instead to record confessional-style interviews in separate chairs.

Referencing Jon’s new bachelor life, TLC General Manager and President, Eileen O’Neill said, “As far as new people and places that may be cycling into Jon and Kate’s lives, we’re taking it on a case-by-case basis,” reports PEOPLE.com.

O’Neill also promised that the network “will continue to capture this family’s journey in a sincere and sensitive way.”

Twitterers expressed very mixed feelings about the show and its stars:

3. 
   Eloranne @Kaelaaaa You are right. Enough is enough. Some of us plan to boycott Jon and Kate Plus 8. The kids deserve their privacy.
4. 
   _Time_To_Go_ I really am so sick of hearing about Jon and Kate.Why do people watch their show.You might as well admit that you approve of child extortion
5. 
   ozinn CNN reports that Kate may win sympathy as “Jon and Kate” returns. WHY IS THIS CONSIDERED NEWS? If we don’t look, maybe they’ll go away…
6. 
   RhiBoy Nothing is sadder than ’staying together for the kids’…no wait. ‘Staying together for the tv show.’…ie. Jon and Kate Plus 8.
7. 
   amandarios Only 12 hours and 13 minutes until the Jon & Kate Plus 8 premier. Okay, okay, I’m not that lame to be counting down, but I am pumped.

Come back tomorrow for Twitterville’s reaction to tonight’s episode.
