Jon and Kate Gosselin returned to TLC Monday night, but many of their fans didn’t.

After a month-long hiatus, last night’s back-to-back episodes of Jon & Kate Plus 8 brought in less than half the audience of the show’s previous episode, which earned a record-breaking 10.6 million viewers. (In that episode, which aired on June 22, the couple announced they were separating after 10 years of marriage.)

Last night’s first half hour, which featured Kate and the kids vacationing while Jon supervised their kitchen renovation, drew 3.9 million viewers. The following show, in which Kate went camping with the kids without Jon, was watched by 4.1 million.

Both episodes were also down significantly from the May 25 premiere, which brought in 9.8 million viewers.
