What is TLC Thinking?

This is what I kept asking myself when I heard of the new schedules...well more importantly what won't be on the schedule anymore. I just can't imagine that they have a show in the works that's popular enough to replace either Kate Plus 8 or L.A. Ink, let alone both of the shows. I doubt I will really be tuning in that much more at all. Sure, Buddy was fun at first on Cake Boss; but now that he's on every single show in existence I've lost interest a little bit, well more than a little bit.
