I just read the most hilariously scathing review of TLC's new reality show, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo in the latest People magazine. I had to share.
"Here Come Honey Boo Boo, TLC's new reality show about 6-year-old Toddlers & Tiaras star Alana Thompson, is one miserable half-hour. Nicknamed Honey Boo Boo Child - which sounds like Winnie-the-Pooh's girlfriend - the beauty-pageant hopeful lives with her family in rural Georgia. The Thompsons, whose southern-accent dialogue is accompanied by patronizing subtitles, are depicted as uncouth blobs of fat. They could be redneck serial killers in a horror film. The show at least will bring them some money along with fame or notoriety - for reality stars, one is as good as the other."
The reviewer then goes on to give the show one out of four stars. Damn, that's harsh!
While I can understand how this show is offensive to, well, human beings, I personally can't get enough. Once you get past the fact that they all have nubs for teeth, they are all obese from eating 4 gallon jars of cheese balls and pork rinds for snacks, and that the matriarch of the family looks like a giant thumb, they really are quite charming. Except for Sugar Bear. I'd say he'd benefit from taking the ever-present wad of dip out of his mouth, but then he might be able to say more, and that would be good for absolutely noone. He isn't exactly a wordsmith.
