Bye-Bye Honey Boo Boo
Revelations that Mama June is dating a sex offender accused of child molestation is all TLC needed to cancel the show.
[su_center_ad]
The decision comes one day after TMZ broke the story … June has been secretly dating Mark McDaniel, who got out of prison in March after serving 10 years for forcing oral sex on an 8-year-old.
We’ve learned June has denied she’s seeing McDaniel, despite a photo we posted showing the 2 of them at a small party in a hotel room. TLC clearly did not believe her and cancelled the show because they felt she was putting her children at risk.
TLC has shot an entire new season of episodes but will not air them. Although the show has fallen off its ratings high, we’re told it’s still very profitable, so TLC is taking a financial hit.
But the network is not turning its back on the kids, telling us, “Supporting the health and welfare of these remarkable children is our only priority. TLC is faithfully committed to the children’s ongoing comfort and well-being.” Our sources say the network will pay for tutors and counselors for the kids.[su_csky_ad]

I don’t think the show should be cancelled, in fact I think it should be on every channel just call it what it is. “The Disgusting trash people doing disgusting stuff because you the viewer pay them to do it hour.” A.K.A. Television audience you don’t manage your time or energy well.

Another blow to the entertainment repertoire of the goober channel.

“well now I’m not gonna have lunch”.
As I have said before. That show is the best diet aid since the phrase “John Goodman in a thong”.

Good grief!! Well – Mama June certainly has enjoyed her day in the sun. I truly hope her children will grow up half way sane.

—————————————————————————————————————-Sorry I have to call BS on this claim, the airing of the show only enabled the behavior and life style the cast led.

thank you!!

Aren’t they also the same people who have Toddlers and Tiaras?

Never watched any of these reality shows other than Naked &Afraid.
Ayn Awnemus October 24th, 2014 at 11:24 am
Thank god. I feel like all of television, nay, our entire country just regained a little bit of lost dignity, if only until the next Honey Boo or Duck Dynasty comes along.
causeican October 24th, 2014 at 11:25 am
Now if Duck Travesty will go away the collective IQ of the U.S. might go up a few points.

The Toddler, LittlePeople, CrowdedFamily network has lost its way, diverting from its charter in the name of ratings, which meant programming to the lowest common denominator.
Tommy6860 October 24th, 2014 at 11:43 am
Remember when TLC was actually The Learning Channel? Our culture of Americana is sure f’ing warped!

Yes – I remember and it was one of my favorite channels. Don’t even stop there anymore. Even The History Channel has lost its luster.
Tommy6860 October 24th, 2014 at 12:44 pm
Yep, that channel is “history” to me.

Why do they need tutors, are there no schools in the area?
R.J. Carter October 24th, 2014 at 12:16 pm
It’s Georgia, so… no. (Although there are buildings where children congregate 8 hours a day five days a week where an adult talks for a while.)

No–they’re just looking for another bunch of “real” characters whose criminal past hasn’t caught up with them yet.

Hey babe, have our people call Cliven Bundy’s people.
I saw some of the Honey Boo Boo show inadvertently about a year ago while channel surfing, and was transfixed, literally. My jaw went slack, and a little bit of drool appeared on my shirt front as I heard the desperate screams of neurons in my head begging for their lives. “Learning Channel” my ass.
You know, before Obamacare, there wasn’t a Honey Boo Boo show. Just sayin’.
Electriq October 24th, 2014 at 12:47 pm
So now it can be said that TLC’s standards are somewhere between mud and a Jerry Springer episode.
M D Reese October 24th, 2014 at 1:24 pm
Oh I dunno–mud at least can be useful and has some depth of character.
Soothsayer123 October 24th, 2014 at 12:57 pm
Everyone involved in this show should be charged with a felony.
M D Reese October 24th, 2014 at 1:22 pm
Most of these “reality” shows are like that. Up here in Alaska, our Governor is passing out subsidies for these companies to come up here and film each other acting like idiots and assholes and destroying everthing they touch and claiming that that is what real Alaskans are like. I SOOOO hope that Governot Parnell goes down in FLAMES and lands in a pile of poop.
William October 24th, 2014 at 1:25 pm
“for these companies to come up here and film each other acting like idiots and assholes and destroying everthing they touch”
Sorta’ like C-span?
M D Reese October 24th, 2014 at 1:19 pm
Let’s hope they pay for a dietician and and exercise coach, too. Letting children get obese is child abuse.
OldLefty October 24th, 2014 at 1:31 pm
I thought it was “freedom and liberty”, and anyone who tries to educate people about nutrition so that they can ward off future health problems is a MARXIST!!! MAOIST!!!! STALINIST!!! …. HITLER!!!!!!!
M D Reese October 25th, 2014 at 4:26 pm
Yeah–Didn’t you love it when Palin got all mavericky over the Big Gulp thing…
OldLefty October 25th, 2014 at 5:13 pm
Everything is so stupid and just a show.
I don’t know of anyone who supported Bloomberg’s drink proposal, (except a few docs), but she is in really great shape, and I bet she doesn’t drink Big Gulps, (probably follows Michelle Obama’s advise), but doesn’t care about the audience, as they partake and become less healthy.
Suzanne McFly October 24th, 2014 at 2:15 pm
I am shocked, but still very happy, to hear they have a tutor, hopefully the stupidity will stop with the mom.

What? They’re cancelling Honey Boo Boo? I thought it was cancelled a long time ago.
