However, I am still gagging at the sight of Mama June's "forklift foot" - not that it was that bad, more the ants that came scurrying out if it :eek::eek::eek::o
I was wetting myself over that entire episode. When she got stuck in the rubber ring, and then when she was going down the flumes
I finally used one of those hot, sticky, sleepless nights to give this show a try.
Um, how can I say this without being accused of tastelessness? I absolutely love it and am now hooked.:o
The family are a complete hoot and I'd far rather watch the Thompsons than Kate Gossling with her OCD way of bringing up her brood and having apparently behavioural problems due to becoming obnoxious brats. Or the Kardashians who contribute just what to make them squillionaires?.
This is a family with love at the centre. They play together, laugh together and look out for each other. Even while farting and mud sliding. Mama June is a riot.
I have had a similar journey to many here. I was appalled by the trailers and thought that the family came over as foul and the child - merely a wee brat. I watched it initially from morbid curiosity, fully expecting to thoroughly disapprove of them all.
However this family comes across as loving. Sugar Bear is simply dotty about his family and Alana seems to be a very caring wee thing. She gets excited about other people's birthdays. I don't like the pageant thing but they don't seem to take it too seriously.
^ Agreed. I've only watched the odd episode of this but my opinion of the family has changed for the better! I'd expected them to be the American equivalent of the scrounging chav families we get over here but they seem like OK people. Sometimes though I need more subtitles than the ones provided on-screen!

Apparently Alana has "retired" from pageants. Thank goodness, it was the only part of the show I didn't like. Mama June has lost over 100lbs ( not that she looks any different except for a better haircut and colour) and she and Sugar Bear have just had a "commitment ceremony" as he doesn't believe in marriage! Her and Honey Boo Boo looked.......um different.........while Sugar Bear's orange and black theme was so them!.

I'm nearly ready to watch Season 2 which has started airing in the States.
Love this show.
