Here Comes Honey Boo Boo’s Halloween special drew a large audience by cable standards. It was the second-rated show on all of cable that night. It also dominated Twitter.
So Honey Boo Boo is now a comic book.
TLC’s hit show has other cable nets scrambling for weapons in the reality TV arms race. Oxygen TV has greenlit three new edifying programs: Fat Girl Revenge, Find Me My Man, and Too Young to Marry? If you have to ask that question…
Oxygen has begun to distance itself from All My Babies’ Mamas, a show already greenlit which is about a man who has fathered 11 children with 10 different women.
The Discovery Channel is thisclose to abandoning all pretense of caring about science.
Sweet Meteor of Death, or cable/satellite a la carte. I’m not picky.

Hmm. Shouldn’t Feckless Won give some backing to that new program ‘All My Babies’ Mamas’? After all it would be an excellent platform from which he could preach the virtues of abortion. Kind of like that other really big news of the day – he’s going to legislate from the Oval Office on gun control.

I actually want to see “All My Babies’ Mamas” broadcast on cable.
I wouldn’t watch it, but the people who deny that such things happen would have to open their eyes to fact that these sort of things do occur quite frequently.
The new “Life of Julia” gets paid for with EBT, PeachCare and all of the hookups are facilitated with an ObamaPhone.
Call me when Hoda and Gifford fight each other with machetes and they make the baby mama guy get into a cage and manipulate a drugged chimpanzee. Or he could be filmed consummating his marriage to a raging bull.
They still make TV programming? Who knew?
