I've seen commercials but will never watch it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honey-boo-boo#post-1108731 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 18:23:52 +0000 Sunderling 1108731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I watched an episode just to see what all the noise was about, and I ended up sort of falling in love with the family. I kind of hate the way the show and commercials are made to be like 'look at this family of freaks, let's laugh at them' when they're pretty endearing when you actually watch the show. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honey-boo-boo#post-1108706 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 18:13:14 +0000 MsLipGloss 1108706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: OMG - Si! When he was talking about laser eye surgery and he said, "What is this, Star Wars?" And of course, "That's a fact, Jack!" :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honey-boo-boo#post-1108627 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 17:37:13 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 1108627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know what it is, but the commercials annoy me, so I've never watched an episode. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honey-boo-boo#post-1108596 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 17:26:01 +0000 Boheme 1108596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They seem like very sweet people, but I can't get over the gross factor! I saw one episode of them eating 'sketti', and I could never watch again! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honey-boo-boo#post-1108507 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 16:34:29 +0000 lovehoneybee 1108507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know she was on Toddlers and Tiaras because once our midwife was running late and we were in the waiting room watching a group of them (the girls and moms) on Anderson Cooper. He had the moms dressed up like the little girls (which was just...yeah.)</p> <p>I've never watched the show, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honey-boo-boo#post-1108478 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 16:21:14 +0000 PointeShoesTutus 1108478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>From what little I've seen (maybe 2 episodes), it is obvious they love each other but I just cannot get past the gross factor so I don't watch the show. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honey-boo-boo#post-1108378 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 15:46:35 +0000 artsyfartsy 1108378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have mixed feelings about the show...I feel like acting stupid isn't a reason to get your own show. </p> <p>But the little I've watched, they seem like a genuine loving family, although a little tacky. Mama June is apparently putting the money from the show into trust funds for all the girls when they get older. She's not spending any of it. I think that's admirable.</p> <p>One of the only episodes we saw was the episode when they got their little pig Glitzy and they were talking about how he was going to be gay since he had a girl name. And Alana said, "You can't tell that pig what to do."<br /> My husband quotes that all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honey-boo-boo#post-1108368 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 15:44:22 +0000 lemondrop 1108368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't watch the show, but I do prefer their family to the rest of the Toddlers and Tiaras crew- they may not be rich, but they love each other and seem happy, that's all that really matters to me. </p> <p>I guess I don't see it too far off from Duck Dynasty- now that show is my new not so guilty pleasure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honey-boo-boo#post-1108266 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 15:22:01 +0000 Dapple Grey 1108266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love me some Honey Boo Boo ;) i dont like pageants, but I do enjoy seeing some diversity on "reality" tv. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honey-boo-boo#post-1108258 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 15:18:44 +0000 MsLipGloss 1108258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BananaPancakes: Definitely agree re laughing *with* them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honey-boo-boo#post-1108248 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 15:14:58 +0000 BananaPancakes 1108248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha, I love Honey Boo Boo. I refused to watch it the first season, but my SIL got into it and made us watch it on a marathon day. They completely won me over. It's the only reality show I can stand, honestly. They're endearing and they make me laugh in a way that doesn't seem to be at them, but with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honey-boo-boo#post-1108163 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 14:41:26 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1108163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CottonCandy: I totally agree.<br /> I remember one episode where June talked about how she was disappointed that her daughter was going to be a teen mom and how she had gone through that and had hoped for a better future for her kids. It was heartbreaking and real. They have so much love and support for one another. And that sugar bear loves and supports the older three girls like they were his is so nice.<br /> Unfortunately I have a tough time with belching and can't watch, but I'm very much on team honey boo boo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honey-boo-boo#post-1108015 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 14:04:49 +0000 Turd Ferguson 1108015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I saw one episode awhile back when it first came out. We don't have cable anymore, and I never kept up with it, but like @NavyRN2012: everything I've heard/read/seen has been pretty positive about the family! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honey-boo-boo#post-1107971 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 13:54:05 +0000 LazyLightning 1107971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to look up what it was after i saw ads for it on my Maternity leave. I was so grossed out. I can't believe people watch it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honey-boo-boo#post-1107869 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 13:25:28 +0000 LuLu Mom 1107869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never watched it or care too, but I do know what it is! I watch some trashy TV but I just can't get on board! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honey-boo-boo#post-1107859 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 13:22:52 +0000 NavyRN2012 1107859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Honey Boo Boo! Under all the grossness, they are a caring sweet family. They do charity work, they spend time together. They are a lot better than some families. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honey-boo-boo#post-1107844 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 13:19:00 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1107844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's cute and her family is loving. I watched the first season and don't plan to watch anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honey-boo-boo#post-1107780 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 13:01:00 +0000 LovelyPlum 1107780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This show makes me super angry, as does "Toddlers &amp; Tiaras". I don't necessarily blame them for taking the TV deal (if you needed the money, who wouldn't??), but I can't STAND TLC for even offering it to them. And since I think watching them only encourages the network, I refuse to do it.</p> <p>Incidentally, did you see this about France voting to ban child beauty pageants? Seems they don't like the phenomenon, either:</p> <p><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/deborah-cruz/the-french-government-ban_b_3958301.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.huffingtonpost.com/deborah-cruz/the-french-government-ban_b_3958301.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honey-boo-boo#post-1107771 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 12:58:12 +0000 anonysquire 1107771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still love honey boo boo!!! And forklift foot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honey-boo-boo#post-1107763 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 12:55:58 +0000 Mrsbells 1107763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dont watch her show but I did see her when she was on toddlers and tiaras, she is awful and so is her family. Plus she would drink red bull concoctions at such an early age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honey-boo-boo#post-1107759 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 12:54:35 +0000 pui 1107759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've seen "Todlers and Tiaras" it before, but I don't "watch" it as in actually sit in front of the TV intending to watch it. I've never seen Honey Boo Boo's show (the closest I've come are the parodies on College Humour lol), but I know of her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honey-boo-boo#post-1107754 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 12:53:43 +0000 swurlygurl 1107754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't watch it, because it makes me uncomfortable how it seems to be a show making fun of them. I have heard great things about how the mom raises her kids though, and how she hasn't taken any of the money made from the shows and their 'fame', but instead has put it all away for the future. That's refreshing to hear for a change! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honey-boo-boo#post-1107753 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 12:53:30 +0000 MsLipGloss 1107753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@irene: It's not for everyone! And yeah, I was totally grossed out by the guess what's in my mouth game . . . but also weirdly amused! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honey-boo-boo#post-1107751 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 12:53:03 +0000 lawbee11 1107751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: Totally agree. I do watch the show, but I find them sort of endearing? To me they aren't anywhere near as low as the Kardashians/Real Housewives. I read a report that TLC offered to either buy them a new house or give them money for a down payment and they turned it down because they love their little house by the train tracks. I sorta love them :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honey-boo-boo#post-1107749 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 12:51:57 +0000 irene 1107749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: I guess. I only watched a few clips, and they were doing this "guess what's in my mouth" thing. The next one was about farting and how smelly someone's feet is. I mean.... seriously? That's actually a show on TV?</p> <p>I don't know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honey-boo-boo#post-1107735 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 12:48:57 +0000 JoJoGirl 1107735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: Ha ha!</p> <p>It's true though - I have seen it, and they are actually really genuine, fun people. :) </p> <p>FWIW, the background is she was a very popular cast member from "Toddlers and Tiaras", so HBB is actually a spin-off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honey-boo-boo#post-1107734 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 12:48:16 +0000 mrsjyw 1107734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vaguely know that she is a reality tv kid, but have no idea who she got propelled to this level of "celebrity."</p> <p>I don't watch the show. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honey-boo-boo#post-1107732 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 12:47:46 +0000 MsLipGloss 1107732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can't be hating on Honey Boo Boo! And a comparison to the Kardashians is just not fair to HBB and her family . . . they may be uncouth, but that's about the worst of it! If you can see past the farting and the twangy slang, they genuinely seem to love and care about each other. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/honey-boo-boo#post-1107728 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 12:47:09 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1107728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know it is a kid right? Reality show? I don't know anything more and probably wouldn't watch to find out. </p>
