The show grew on me. The first time I watched it, I wanted to see what it was about and I sat there the whole time thinking.....why and how did these people, of all people, get their own tv show?! The more I watched it, the more it cracked me up! They do some strange things which is where the humor comes in.
Turtle - it's a spinoff from Toddlers & Tiaras. Honey Boo Boo was on an episode and became, basically, an overnight sensation. Reality TV was made for these people. Somewhere I imagine Eden is crying in her Cheerios over this development.
I feel like there needs to be a picture of Sugar Bear posted with the caption "Honey Boo Boo's father has a girlfriend and you're single. Just let that sink in." Why is he the "catch" and not her?

Oh andplusalso, they live in Georgia and there are subtitles in the show so you can understand what they're saying. I can usually understand June pretty well, but Sugar Bear is damn near impossible to understand without reading the subtitles!
Everyone seems to be talking about this show, I've never seen it and have no clue what it's about?
The main character, Honey Boo Boo (Alana) is 7 or 8 years old and participates in beauty pagents which is kind of funny because she's chubby and really crude. She used to be on the show Toddler and Tiaras. She lives with her three older sisters, Mom (June), and Dad (Sugar Bear). June is 32 and is now a grandma - she had her first daughter when she was 15, and her 17 year old just had a little girl.
As for what it's about, they just follow these people around. During one show they went to and participated in The Redneck Games, they had a pet pig named Glitzy for a while, and they go to Honey Boo Boo's pagents.
If you're looking for intellectual stimulation, it's not the show for you. If you're easily entertained by trashy/trainwrecky shenanigans, check it out.
