I don't know a whole lot about the Honey Boo-Boo saga, but as I understand it, she came from the "Toddlers in Tiaras" world, which seems to indicate that the family does have a competitive streak and do strive for something more. They now star in a TV show that, I imagine, creates more value than I could ever hope to achieve, and while it does not seem like a show I would enjoy, it must have a significant impact on some people's lives in order to still be on the air.

Perhaps the family is not solving problems like world hunger, but to say nothing is getting done under their watch may not be exactly correct.

Don't let the name fool you, "reality TV" has absolutely nothing to do with whatever reality is being videotaped.

Two decades of post-"Real World" experience have allowed producers to create whatever image they want in the minds of the viewers.

Happiness is not the only ingredient for a good life.
