Jul. 02, 2009 | Jon & Kate Plus 8 ratings plummeted 77 percent last Monday.
Only 2.4 million viewers tuned in -- significantly down from June 22's much-hyped divorce announcement episode, which was watched by a record 10.6 million.
(In comparison, the show's season 5 debut attracted 9.8 million watchers.)
Monday's episode, titled "The First 10 Years," consisted mostly of old clips. The show is now on hiatus until Aug. 3 to give the family "some time to regroup," the network said in a statement.
