Here Comes Honey Boo Boo Season 1

For some reason, the Here Comes Honey Boo Boo dvd seasons are very hard to find in USA format. (Region 1 or 0/region free). Probably because of the controversy surrounding the she's characters. So, I was willing to pay $60-$80 for just one season. The USA versions are called "seasons" and the foreign dvds that will NOT play on your USA dvd player (which is any other region besides 1 or 0/region free) are called "series". However- I found many listings that had the DVD image of the front of the DVD that read "season"- only to read the details of the region code was NOT a USA region 1 code- so be careful when looking for the USA version of this DVD. Some sellers are using inaccurate images for their product. Advertising With images that say "season", when it's really "series (foreign). With that warning being said, as far as the content of the season 1 that I purchased...it was everything I hoped it would be. These characters are "down home", "country bumpkin", (I'll say it)- "redneck hicks" that I found to be very entertaining to watch. I realize that's not politically correct to say, but I also think that is why the show was so popular and why they can charge an outrageous price for just one season. In other words, these characters are laughing along with me. They are just laughing on their way to the bank, whereas I'm just sitting in my living room, watching a guilty pleasure.

Before ordering this set, I had never actually seen an episode of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo on television. But I had heard so much about it and how crazy it was that my curiosity got the better of me and I bought the DVD blindly. I admit I take guilty pleasure in my share of entertainment that others might consider to be of the more, er, "lowbrow" variety, lol, but I actually really did enjoy this show and thought that underneath all the white trash jargon and naïve backwoods sensibilities there was a real sense of heart about it.In a nutshell, season 1 follows the exploits of 6-year-old Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson and her family around their hometown of McIntyre, Georgia over the course of one summer. Whether entering beauty pageants, trying to raise a squealing piglet, celebrating Christmas in July, battling the bugs and heat, entering the Redneck Games, extreme couponing, or anticipating the birth of a baby with a surplus of thumbs, there is very rarely a dull moment. Yes, it's easy to laugh and make fun - and frankly, to put it kindly, it IS rather astounding how unrefined and thoughtless some of these people can be at times, so definitely do not take this as a cross section of your average American household - but like I said above, they also strike me as basically genuine people, struggling to make the best of their circumstances. How much of it is played up for the sake of TV, I can't say, but either way it's quite amusing to say the least!DVD-wise this set is pretty bare bones. There are nine 21-minute episodes and a tenth 43-minute episode all on one disc, and there are no special features. (I would have loved a look behind the scenes or some unaired bloopers from Mama June.) But, the asking retail price is reasonable for what you get and the entertainment value is high, so I'd say it's worth a look if you get the chance.

I love this show - I finally was able to get my sister to watch it only after she and her "uppity" boyfriend thought it disgusting (having never watched it I don't know how they could judge so easily). Now my sister loves it - says that it reminds her of her youth. I have watched season 1 on DVD probably 100 times by now. I would like a version without captions though as I find myself reading instead of watching their hilarious facial expressions! Any true Southerner who grew up poor or has empathy for those who struggle in life living in a single parent home can totally relate. I love watching their creative minds at work and recalling my past and how much fun can be had with so little...

iam a fan of this show and have not seen it in store and the only way i think i could go get it at a store is if i where to have it shipped to the store this was so much bette to have it shipped to my home .

was not as funny as the previews showed, but I watched it all anyway. I just wont buy anymore episodes of this show. mostly about her going to do pageants!

I LOVE honey boo boo watch it every week. But i Forgot How Freaking Weird The First Season was it was GREAT. Excellent. Bur Weird. Buy it NOW NOW CLICK THE DAMN CART BUTTON AND THEN CHECK OUT NOW NOW NOW WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? FREAK!

Don't order this item. I love this show and was so excited to get my order. When I got it this thing that holds the DVD was bent and the actual DVD wouldn't play because it doesn't have any content on it. I am outraged.

After watching the first season of Honey Boo Boo again, I realized the producers/writers of this always funny and entertaining show have really stepped up their game in the following seasons. Hilarious and heart-warming. You just can't make up characters like this!
