I thought that Honey Boo Boo was the danger.

A dolla gonna make her holla!

The Observer sees all… and is VERY easily amused.

Honey Boo Boo is mankind’s last hope!

I don’t know… If the fate of the world depends on Honey Boo Boo… Can I get back to you?

Is “Honey Boo Boo” typical of American TV? I thought we had a load of cr*p over here.

What is all this love for “Honey Boo Boo”?

Who the heck is Honey Boo Boo? And why should I care?

Reality shows like that generally tend to be a lot faster, easier, and cheaper to produce than dramas, game shows, comedies, or educational shows. []What’s more, since there’s no script to be followed and no “actors” involved, such shows are less likely to be sidelined by strikes. []Thus, reality shows – like talk shows – are now becoming more prolific. []The trend actually goes back to the late 1980s / early 1990s, when Fox responded to a writer’s strike by unveiling “Cops”. Since it was just camera crews riding around with police officers and filming what took place, no writers were actually needed.

I suspect most of the people who know about “Honey Boo Boo” have never actually watched the show (I know I haven’t). It’s a cheap, space-filler show on a minor cable channel, but it’s become such an icon of our society’s presumed decline that the more popular channels spend a lot of time talking about it, usually in the context of “entertainment news.”

The earth IS in danger if we play Honey boo boo

they are so low class and we are jealous they get prime time $$

When Reagan was elected a resident of New York City’s upper east side was heard to remark “How could have Reagan won? No one I know voted for him.”

This wasn’t intended to be a political comment, just a reflection on perception.

SeaFox10: Most of our American media, aims to appeal to the lowest common denominator (which seems to "coincide with the lowest level IQ). Also the “lack of reality” shows don’t cost the $$ that good writers, actors, sets, props, and special effects would set the network back on profit margin . . . I think we have become 3rd cent Rome! “Bread & Circus” culture

Why is HBB still on and Firefly was cancelled?

I’ve never watched HBB nor do I intend to. However, I was told by a friend who watched an interview of the family that apparently the mother is putting the money into trust funds for all their children so they have money for college, and using the money for other good causes. That’s what I was told.

BWA HAHAH don’t you guys recognize Ted the 2nd cousin to Tim the Enchanter? .Can’t wait to see the beheading rabbit come out to doom the earth while Pam snorts ’’It’s just a Rabbit!’’

Then the Observers will dissect everyone on the RU Serius…

Pretty certain it’s an it.

Nice nod to the late Ted Cassidy, who played a similar-looking alien on STAR TREK (not to mention Lurch)
