Kids Crooked Houses’ playhouses were on Jon and Kate Plus 8 tonight. Kids Crooked Houses was featured in the family’s episode that was about as crooked as it could get, as expected. Yes, as LALATE broke in spoilers last week, Jon and Kate’s marriage is over, Jon is moving out. But at least one thing was fun tonight - the playhouses! The company describes itself on Twitter as “The greatest playhouses in the world or something to that effect. Playhouses for doggies too.”

The company describes its adorable formation as follows:

In Maine there was a fun-loving Dad named Glen who was a graphic designer but really loved to build things out of wood. Glen frowned when he saw how his three adorable kids (Jake, Bailey, and Madison) were glued to the TV. He wanted them to go outside and tumble around the backyard so he thought he’d find, or make, something fun for them to play with. Glen’s cousin, Jeff, said he wanted to help because he had a cute kid (Sebastian) who wanted to be part of the outdoor play scene. After Glen and Jeff thought and thought, they decided to look for something their kids could play IN, not with.

So Glen and Jeff went to lots of stores and web sites looking for a decent, ready-made playhouse, or even a build-it-yourself one. But the houses they found were plain and ordinary, and just not, you know, FUN. It made Glen and Jeff pretty darn sad. So they went home to sulk and watch some children’s TV with their kids. They liked the cartoon shows featuring houses with wonky lines, skewed angles and off-kilter windows…houses where everything is just a little bit funky, sort of off, and, well—crooked.

“That’s it,” they cried. “Let’s build a Kids Crooked House.” And so they did.

After much sawing and hammering and painting in Glen’s old red barn, they finished the very first Kids Crooked House.


So cute! Imagine having your product shown on tonight, of all, episodes? LALATE will tell you the ratings share tomorrow but don’t be surprised if tonight’s episode was the highest ever for the series, upwards of high 9.0.


So in recap if you missed it earlier on LALATE, the big question is — where is Jon moving to? He can move to the couple’s previous home for now - because that hasn’t sold! Or he can move to a New York apartment as he was shopping for last week.
