Disapointment

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Seriously, TLC? You think a show about the most disgusting people in the world spreading butter around the floor, putting pumpkin seeds on each other, talk about bathroom jokes etc. is creative and enjoyable? Nobody wants to sit around watching a bunch of people go crazy and kids act like adults!This makes stuff like The Boxtrolls look good. Why don't TLC go film a family that actually knows how to be creative and teaches about eating healthy or playing correctly with, kids being kids instead of filming awkward ole southerns that don't know how to act human!This show is sickening to watch even if you can watch stuff without vomiting. It makes the show unwatchable and should've never existed in the first place. When is Honey Boo Boo and her family going to learn manners and being healthy, her parents need to be more responsible for their relatively ugly child! They're going to end up like their mother!I don't even know why I am watching this crap!Verdict -- Absurd show! 3.9/10

Despite their economic situation and family dysfunction this family loves one another. While I don't agree with some of their lifestyle choices (beauty pageants for little girls)Mama June and Sugar bear do 'their' best for their children- and that's all we can do as parents with what we have and when we have it. The children are happy to entertain themselves with the very basics - a mud hole- and aren't the spoiled, self entitled, self obsessed, middle class norm. These people aren't flip and ignorant,(maybe a bit uneducated) but have a good sense of right and wrong and how to enjoy their lives. To quote Mama June "It is what it is". Love it!

Yes, I know. You find it embarrassing. You find it a stereotype of America - uncouth, loud, weight problems, etc. I know, I get it. We all do.But know what?At the end of the day, this family is exactly that - a family. A family that doesn't judge based on appearance, past mistakes (teenage pregnancy, divorce), and a family that will stick together through thick and thin. And although some find it appropriate to ridicule them, I feel like there's quite a bit of misconception surrounding this show.The show is about a lower class southern family's everyday life. Of all the reality shows, this does seem to be the most honest. We watch the family go on camping trips, "familymoon" (a honeymoon inolving the whole family travelling in an RV), undergo marriage counselling, watch the kids try to explore career options by cooking meals for the family or doing makeovers. What makes these normal situations entertaining to watch is how outspoken and eccentric this family is, turning the mundane into hilarious.Mama June, the family matriarch finds ways to support her family despite their circumstances. She's far sharper than most people seem to believe. They make do with what they have, and do it well. Something that struck a chord with me is that despite the large paycheck that comes with the show, "Mama" doesn't waste the money away on frivolities, spending unwisely. She's putting the money away for the children in trusts as they continue to live within their means based on their previous salary. How many stars live their lives that wisely? Alana, the young child known as "Honey Boo Boo", is a little girl who is sweet as sugar that seems to just try to make her family happy. She loves being in the spotlight, and it's her I worry about most - I don't want her to grow up and think her fans are just people here to mock her and her family. The true fans love her adorable spunky personality and how much she loves everything and everyone around her. It's contagious and absolutely adorable. The rest of the clan are just as unique and hilarious, making a crew that is enjoyable to watch. You feel like you're part of their family as you watch their show. Additionally, despite the redneck stereotype they proudly display at times, they're a far cry from bigoted hillbillies: They happily accept their homosexual Uncle Lee (referred to lovingly as "uncle Poodle") without question. As Alana puts it, "There's nothing wrong with being a little gay!", a lesson we can learn from anybody no matter what their background is.And this is why I love the show: It's adorable, uplifting, happy, hilarious. If you hate it, try watching it more. It's hard not to fall in love with adorable Alana and her family.

This is perhaps the most terrible show ever the grace the airwaves. Pure exploitation of children. The glorification of a terrible lifestyle. A symbol of just how far American culture has fallen over the years. I cannot even begin to describe the vileness of this show. The channel it is broadcast on is called TLC. Abbreviated from The Learning Channel. The Learning Channel?!?!?!? It was once a favorite channel of mine, when you could actual learn something from this. But to call it that now is an insult. A not funny joke! But I am also writing this review as I was confused by some of the other reviewers posts. There seems to be no middle ground on this show. People either loath it, which is thankfully the vast majority. Or absolutely love it. Which was weird, I thought. And in reading some of their reviews, I felt something was wrong. These people were praising it like it was the best thing ever to come out of their television. It did not feel right. So I clicked on their user ID's and aside from three of them, they were all obviously industry people trying to get the ratings up on this site. Most were created the same day and month, they all had one single review, and all were obviously written by the same person. This is terrible. I hope IMDb does some investigation on this, as I love their site and think it is a worth while tool for helping others choose how to spend their free time. Others that read this review. There is a reason the vast majority of the people who have come on here to review this terrible show deride it so. It is a disgusting view of society and we would all be the better off if it was stricken from our airwaves. 0/10 (Negative numbers if I could)
