I caught my daughter watching this the other day - I told her that just by watching the show, she was part of the problem. I warned her she was getting dumber by the second just for watching it.

Absolute trash - the lowest Television has been since.... well, never has it been this low.

I'm going to defend this show... somewhat.

The dad loves his family and works hard. He does a lot to provide for them.
Honey boo-boo is a funny kid that is not merely the mirror of her mothers unfulfilled childhood desires. She has some genuine fight in her and isn't a nightmare "me me me" kid that you might expect.
The other kids seem pretty well adjusted.
The mum, well, she has issues but she isn't controlling or nasty.
Their diet is fucking dreadful!

Don't get me wrong. This is freak-show television but they are nice, even lovable, freaks without the bitchiness and machismo one has come to expect thanks to shows like Jersey Shore or Real Housewives.

I'm also sure they play it up for the cameras

I'm sure the family themselves are just typical people that play it up for the camera. And I'm sure that If we knew them personally they may not seem all that bad. "People are strange, when the are Strangers."

It's just that the show itself is not worthy of my time. I'm not perfect and I'm sure sticking cameras in my home could prove entertaining for some as well. But the fact that someone thought this was a good idea as a prime time show is "off center." I don't understand the voyager aspect to watching overweight people clown around and do dumb things. I just shake my head that as a population, this is where we have gone with television.

I believe the L is for Lowest.
