For all of you wonderful people who might be watching this show and laughing hysterically at the south, I would just like to say this. As a native Georgian, I feel like it is my CIVIC duty to inform all of you that this is NOT a typical southern family. Do not let the show mislead you...I feel so sad at how this show represents the citizens of this state! I just don't want people getting some silly notion in their head that everywhere in Georgia or the south is like this!

Thank you for listening! :)

    I think Im going to get a ab workout watching that show... I haven't seen an episode yet but, I've seen clips... And its cracking me up already... I saw this part where she taking an energy drink from her mom.... and pouring it into her own cup, and drinking it... Next thing you know, shes outside running in circles... I want to say I think she was given a ribbon from Dr. Oz for some reason... Shes kinda cute, in a very irritating way... Heeee. :happy: Don't worry its not a representation of everyone in your area... I don't believe that would be the case....

    Just like the kids on Jersey Shore don't represent NJ (they are from somewhere in NY). Also all the ladies on The Real Housewives of....". Don't represent the majority of people in their home states either.
    It's just fun to watch train wrecks and feel better about our own choices.
    My daughter cracks up at Honey Boo Boo (mostly because of the title) but she is not ignorant to think that her family represents the fine state of GA. You have no reason to worry. It's all in good spirits and fun:drinker:

    I'm looking forward to tonight's episodes! The show is hysterical and the whole family is a riot. And, no, I don't think that all people who live in the south are like that. I have family in SC, right on the GA border. They're not like Honey Boo Boo and her family at all.

    Aww...****! I didn't know they were Georgians. Gah. Combine that with the show Small Town Security, I am now ashamed to say that I am a Georgia girl. Thank goodness that The Walking Dead is a bit more accurate, lol. I have lived in GA my entire life and have never come across so many rednecks, except on tv. Thankfully, I live is an affluent area where no one sounds like they are from the deep south, let alone, are anywhere close to being rednecks or hicks.

    You should add me! Where are you from? I grew up around Atl (covington) but my fiance now lives in Alpharetta so when I am not down at school in Statesboro that is where I tend to be :)

    I'm obsessed. When June (the mom) started ranting about how fat women shouldn't wear bikinis, I gave her a standing ovation. They are unclassy and crude, but they are honest. I'll give them that.

    I love that darn pig she has... and If I didn't live in the suburbs of Chicago, I would so get one!

    I also love her new word "redneck-oginze"... Makes me giggle every time I hear it!

    I'm from SC, and I definitely don't act like that. That said, I did love when June said that women of "voluptuous size" should put some clothes on! "All that vajiggle jaggle isn't beautimous!"--loved it!

    Did anyone catch when she said that farting 12-15 times a day will help you lose weight? I almost wet myself when I heard that one...

    i have known and worked with plenty of people from the south. I will let their attitudes, personalities and the way they treated me form my opinions on 'people of the south'. I have visited Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, Florida and Texas as well.
  • I LOVE THIS SHOW! I could basically die happy and complete after watching it.
    OMG. It's so terrible it's wonderful.

    Where is your family? I'm in North Augusta, which is in SC but right across the river from Augusta, GA.

    Her parents' should be sterilized.

    That little girl is going to be the drama queen of all drama queens. I don't know how anyone could watch that show for longer than it takes to locate the remote control.
  • i love that show she is something else!
  • Dont hate me, but I love the show.... :blushing:

    This. I don't see the appeal at all.
