You'll alternate between cooing at 6-year-old pageant queen Honey, gawking at her self-described "redneck" family and pet pig, laughing so hard you cry, and feeling deep shame for not turning it off. Read full review

While I was creeped out by the way Honey Boo Boo was framing the family and presenting them to us, I couldn't help loving the Thompsons themselves. Read full review

You'll blow a gasket if you watch this show with any trace of superiority or outrage. Instead, bafflement is a good resting spot; a guilty-pleasure glee works even better. Read full review

As with many of these series, Honey Boo Boo wobbles along that strange line of being at once an exploitative mess, and not just an exploitative mess. Read full review

Disturbingly condescending and almost irresistibly cheeky. Read full review

If you haven't yet put your affairs in order, this would be a propitious time to do so. The world as we know it is about to end. How do I know? Because Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. Read full review

Seems to me she's [Alana's mother June is] desperate to stay in the spotlight. And all I can say to that is, "Honey, bye-bye." Read full review

These people are awesome, super entertaining. Allana is a super smart, cheeky, sassy 6 year old and I love watching her. The family don't care what people think about them and it's completely refreshing, no matter what you do someone will criticise you so why care? You'd better redneckognise!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This show is an insult to the American public. I don't like most shows but this one is about the worst show on television because it portrays the lowest possible score for any intelligent show. This is not humorous but it is absolutely nauseating and disgusting. It will place this country on the bottom of any other civilized country in the world. Children who watch this will learn to act and live like lower forms of life, even animals have more manners than this family portrays.… Expand

A very dumb/idiotic tv show.. Believe it or, this is why america is so messed up right now... I do not find this to be the slightest bit funny, no one in my family finds it funny either.. The creators of this show should be ashamed and feel bad for broadcasting this. It's making television look bad.

This is exactly why America is the laughing stock of the rest of the world. The creators knowing exploited a 7 year old girl for profit. It embraces the disgusting habits of a family that is literally destroying their daughter's body and mind. They should be in jail.

This show is what is wrong with American television. To watch this show is to glorify ignorance, stupidity, obesity, and just awful actions from a family that needs some genuine help. I've not watched ONE episode of this show, but I know enough about it through previews and occasional peaksThis show is what is wrong with American television. To watch this show is to glorify ignorance, stupidity, obesity, and just awful actions from a family that needs some genuine help. I've not watched ONE episode of this show, but I know enough about it through previews and occasional peaks when I'm flipping through the channels to know this show's a joke. I wonder if TLC brass remembers when they used to air 'educational' programming? Live surgeries, informative cooking shows, and other educational tools that were useful to our culture. Why sacrifice great taste for ratings, TLC?

Many others have already talked about the low brow humor, the deplorable behavior they carry, and on top of that, you can't even understand what the folks are saying. I'm not alone in feeling this way and feel that I'm in the majority in saying this is the worst show on television and that TLC's brass should look in the mirror and realize that fads like this show will ruin a network's reputation.… Expand
