A rep for the Bonaduces confirms that Gretchen has begun divorce proceedings. In a statement to TMZ, he says "Even though they still care about each other and their 2 children, Gretchen felt it wasn't a great atmosphere to raise the kids."

4. Sadly, anyone who has watched the show should not be surprised about the divorce, just that she took so long to ask for it. Kudos to Danny for his one year of sobriety - unfortunately, it appears it came about 16 years too late.

9. Come on, TMZ Staff. Adam even spelled his name out for you when you called in and you *still* spelled it wrong! It's "Carolla" not "Corolla" ('a' not 'o').

I'm kind of happy for Danny. Hopefully he'll be able to find a psycho (which is the type of woman he most desires) that is as die hard as he's always tried to force Gretchen to be.

C'est la vie.

Teresa Strasser rocks.

11. I thought that they were going to make it.....I actually like him as a person, although he has but his wife through some crazy times. Congrats on sobriety!!! I'll be 3 years clean in July so I think it's great that he has made it to his one year mark.
