I didn't hear AP Mike discussing it, but I did see a few episodes of this thing. Honey Boo Boo is a funny, sharp kid. Her family seems happy, and self-aware. When you compare them to the other Toddlers & Tiaras families, it's no contest: they seem like good people.
The best we can hope for is that they stop producing this series after one season, because it won't be good for her character. But that won't happen, obviously. In any case, I believe I've seen all I need to see of this show, but it's pretty fun. (Except for the pet pig which is clearly in mortal terror throughout.)
