Its called the Honey Boo Boo syndrome
[QUOTE=snookypookums;46320047]I know that feeling - when I'm at home, TV is barred for Dad and me because my mom likes to watch her soap operas.
It was all well and good until we decided to pick apart every single inconsistency and silly thing that happened on the show that the inability to watch the TV got kicked up a notch and the two of us got banned from the living room entirely when her serials were on.
We now sit in the spare room and watch stuff on the shitty TV that's in there, but we regret nothing. Indian soap operas are the worst and would give the Brazilian ones a run for their money. Fun fact for the Brazilians here - do you know that up until a few years ago, some channels would broadcast Brazilian soap operas that were dubbed in Hindi in the wee morning hours. That shit was comedy gold.[/QUOTE]
I was a bit luckier. My ajji got me to watch hindi soap operas so we could laugh hysterically at them together.
TLC: After canceling "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo", we will be launching a new television series called "There Goes Honey Boo Boo" where instead of filming all of the characters from the front, we film their backs as they walk away slowly.

oh whoops I meant to say honey boo boo sucks and I'm glad it's gone
[QUOTE=Scotchair;46320295]I think you guys are seriously underestimating how much of this was an act, stop being so judgmental.
That show took that family from rags to riches, of course they're going to keep going and ham it up. Additionally, all of the money made has been put into a fund for the kids when they grow up. The parents are clearly not as moronic as everybody thinks they are.
Im not saying I like the show, but they're just people... you guys need to chill out.[/QUOTE]
I don't know, it says something about a person if they opt to immediately get back together with the man who was convicted of molesting one of their 8-year old relatives.
I saw some other people discussing it, and they mentioned it was probably because she has no one else as an option. Not that that makes it OK to go back to someone like that, but her options are probably that or crazy redneck cat lady with several dozen chins to spare.
[QUOTE=Solo Wing;46320004]How the flying fuck did this abomination manage 4 fucking seasons? Took too damn long TLC.[/QUOTE]
I'd imagine it's something akin to how Big Bang Theory managed to net [I]eight[/I] motherfucking seasons.
Granted, BBT is a couple times better than THAT.
Relatively.
[QUOTE=Bradyns;46319848]It appears that the learning channel has learnt something.[/QUOTE]
Not really.
You know, the thing about these shows is that, when they hit it big, they pretty much completely destroy any potential acting careers for the people involved because as far as most will be concerned they're forever stuck with whatever character they played.

if she made good life choices i'm sure she wouldn't have 5 horribly overweight kids, no job, ruin her daughter's childhood at the age of 6 with "beauty" pagents, and live with a bum of a husband who spends all their money on gambling and expensive shit they don't need

[B]Child molestation leads to TLC finally being offended by Honey Boo Boo[/B]
[QUOTE]
After four seasons of encouraging the entitled behavior of a Red Bull-and-Mountain Dew-fueled child, simultaneously celebrating and gawking at a family that makes games out of farting and huffing each other’s mouths, and generally wallowing in a slop trough of snot, mayonnaise, and exploitation, TLC may have at last found something about Honey Boo Boo that offends them.
Earlier today, a report surfaced on TMZ that family matriarch Mama June had rebounded from her recent split with Honey Boo Boo’s father, Sugar Bear, by dating Mark McDaniel—a man who more than makes up for his lack of a nickname with his equally cringe-inducing criminal past. Specifically, McDaniel just completed 10 years in prison for “forcing oral sex” on an 8-year-old child—a child who also happens to be a relative of June’s. And even for a channel that has otherwise gladly trafficked in all forms of disgusting behavior, quasi-incestuous child molestation may be where TLC draws the line.

[B]TLC Producer Wants List Of 100 Fucked-Up Families On Desk By End Of Day[/B]
[QUOTE]Saying that he didn’t “give two shits” if they had to knock on the door of every trailer and halfway house in the country, TLC producer and programming director Mark Livingston reportedly told his staffers Friday that he expects to see a list of at least 100 fucked-up families on his desk by the end of the workday. “We’re up shit creek right now, so I need each one of you assholes rooting through every gutter in the goddamn Ozarks to find me a household of inbreds, addicts, or fat-as-fuck morons that we can put in primetime,” a visibly aggravated Livingston said to his staff following the cancellation of the network’s popular Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, stressing that the new families had better be “borderline brain-dead” and “messed up as all fuck.”[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;46321360]Unfortunately Duck Dynasty and Honey Boo Boo are on the exact same tier of entertainment.[/QUOTE]
I haven't seen the newer seasons of Duck Dynasty, but the first couple were okay. They were leagues ahead of Honey Boo Boo, that is for sure.
Still, after their corporate whoring put a fake beard and a "Happy Happy Happy" shirt in every Walmart in redneck America, the show probably went downhill. Can't say, because thankfully I don't have to watch basic cable trite.
I pretty much only watch HBO, so my standards are abysmally high.

Am I the only one that finds this kind of parental behavior... Kind of disturbing? Like, did they seriously make a threat to kick you out (albeit probably a weak one that would likely not be backed up) for not [i]paying attention[/i] to the show?
That's just bizarre. I don't understand it.

TLC then obtains a temporary license from Hanna-Barbera for the Yogi Bear show, makes a movie called "Here comes Boo Boo" and sees how many people manage to confuse the two.
Apparently the child that the boyfriend molested was her own daughter. Yikes
Literally my only exposure to this show has been through facepunch you guys are awful

Honestly, "Here comes Boo Boo" would be a great name for a show in the Harvey Birdman universe about the Unabooboo.
Lucky I don't belong in a family that watches these soup opera's or drama channels... I know my grandma does but I surely don't care much for it. Currently my parents rather watch TV shows like "Hell On Wheels", "Games of Thrones", "Defiance", and "Walking Dead"... There are other shows too but these seems to be the most popular ones out there currently that they loved.

I totally agree with you man, despite the redneck appearance the family gave off the mother is actually a good person not spending a cent of the childs money and putting it into a college fund for her

Now all we need is a Honey Boo Boo revamp for the 90s. Let's call it "Honey Boo²".
Not a huge loss, a triumph actually.
