The reality show family that won't go away is back again tonight, and they are in Maine.

That's right, Kate Gosselin brings her 8 kids to Maine tonight and showcases her "special" style of parenting on a new episode of her TLC reality series "Kate Plus 8."

Yup, the network that until recently foisted "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" on the nation is letting Kate Gosselin desperately try to hold on to her dwindling fame by bringing her and her family (minus ex-husband Jon, who seems to have the good sense to stay out of this mess) back to TV and they start tonight with a family vacation in Maine.

In a story on Yahoo TV, writer Ken Tucker posts his thoughts on the show:

Tonight, Kate Gosselin issues her latest spawn: a new Kate Plus 8 “special” on TLC. She and her brood go to Maine where, I see from the promos, they will all yell, scream, and “enjoy” the scenery by rowing in kayaks (“Bwahhhh! The water’s cold!”) and cook lobster for dinner. I think the now-teenaged twins Maddie and Cara may have read David Foster Wallace’s 2004 essay “Consider The Lobster,”because in the clip they look appalled at tossing the creatures into boiling water. And of course, no family outing would be complete if we didn’t have Kate turning to the camera to express the utter hell that is her existence. Tonight, it’s: “I feel so overwhelmed lately that sometimes it’s hard to stay positive.”

You and me both, sister.

Later in he same story, Tucker talks about how Kate's teenaged girls seem unhappy on the show.

"(They are) powerless but to continue in the wake of their mother’s shark-like forward momentum, always pushing onward toward a stardom and wealth she seems doomed never to achieve."

If you are curious, the Maine-based episode airs tonight on TLC at 9 p.m., or, you could do literally anything else, and that would probably be more entertaining. But to help you make a choice, here's a preview of the show:

And to help you recover after watching that, here's a video of goats screaming like humans, which seems less shrill than Kate Gosselin.
