The Honey Boo Boo Boom

How does a show that draws so much negative commentary online draw such a massive television audience? 

I talked to Rich Juzwiak, staff writer at Gawker about the phenomenon of ”Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” and how negative online buzz often means positive ratings.

Also worth noting: The unexpected positivity of the show. These people love life, and each other. “These people are actually mostly good to each other, and they’re full of joy,” Juzwiak says.
