Okay i can fault TLC for running anything about Honey Boo Boo. I can not fault TLC for it being their #1 rated show. In fact if Sesame street ran at the same time on another channel, Boo Boo would get the major ratings.

The problem is the audience not the programming. BTW I detest everything Honey Boo Boo. Poor kid is ruined. Gonna make Danny Bonaduce look great by comparison.

By the show’s 40th anniversary in 2009, it was ranked the fifteenth most popular children’s show on television.[97]
