(CBS) Nadya Suleman says her reality TV show won't exploit her kids as, she says, the Gosselins' exploits theirs.

Nadya Suleman says the reality TV series she's just signed up for won't take after the TLC reality show, "Jon & Kate Plus 8."

The "Octomom," who gave birth to six boys and two girls in January and has six other young children, took swipes at Jon and Kate Gosselin on the Web site RadarOnline.com.

"I just want it to be very not like 'Jon & Kate Plus 8,' where I feel they've made a mistake by being... allowing it to be more exploitative and invasive in their kids' lives," Suleman said in a video on the site.

"Jon & Kate Plus 8" follows the couple as they raise their five year-old sextuplets and eight year-old twins.

Suleman criticized the Gosselins for conditioning their kids to living with TV cameras, which Suleman says she won't do.

"I want it to be documentary-style, monitoring their growth and development. I want it to be more educational, focusing on the effects of prematurity, even though my children are pretty much, like, not premature children. ... I want it to be more intellectual and educational, not so superficial."

The audience for "Jon & Kate Plus 8," now in its fifth season, has soared since the couple recently conceded that their marriage is in trouble, following reports of infidelity by both, reports both have denied.

I’m so glad that the British company she signed with will now be footing her bills. I mean, her signing up for this deal has got to be a red flag for the welfare office. I’m sure they’ll yank her off our tax dollars so fast…

Sick is a good word. If she didn’t have the kids she wouldn’t have a show!

The physicians who harvested the eggs, fertilized them then greedily implanted each and every one are culpable. Where are their ethics? Octomom is sick, plain and simple. She is like a person who hoards pets. It seems to me that the doc would know better when she reports being a gravida 5, para 6!

That women needs to shut up, go away and take her kids with her and hide in a corner. She is so irresponsible that to even hear from her gives me an ache in my backside.
