From Not to Hot, Mama June is BACK

Let's all take a second to reminisce.

Throughout history, there have been some reality TV series that definitely killed a brain cell or two, yet we just COULDN'T look away. From Mike "The Situation" ramming his head into a wall on Jersey Shore, to Frankie Gotti stomping up the stairs because he's "got a life!" on Growing Up Gotti.

Still, the one that caused a void in my heart since its cancellation a few years ago is TLC's Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. Television just hasn't been the same without mud fights and homemade "sketti." Never fear - Mama June is back on WE tv with her new show From Not to Hot, which chronicles her revenge weight loss surgery to slim down before attending ex-husband Sugar Bear's wedding in 44 days.


The first episode aired on Friday, 2/24, and picked up right where Honey Boo Boo left off. It opens with Honey Boo Boo aka Alana attempting to pack her own school lunch - a entire box of snack cakes and a full quart of ice cream, surely a nutritious lunch for a growing kid.

Sugar Bear then visits Mama June with some exciting news - he's getting married. To whom, we have no idea, but June figures if he can get back in the game after their divorce, so can she. With the help of her sister Doe Doe, June gets herself on some dating apps, and quickly snags a date to a local all-you-can-eat buffet with, quite frankly, the dullest guy on earth.

As we know from Honey Boo Boo, June is a straight shooter who tells it like it is and doesn't give a damn what people think. Seconds after sitting down, she lays it all on the line, asking if he's been married and other questions most would save until at the least the third date. Long story short, June's date bails half way through, leaving the show's producer to chase him down in the parking lot.

Even though June's body transformation isn't rumored to take place until the end of the season, we still get to experience all the familiar wonders of Honey Boo Boo, and maybe even a healthier recipe for the infamous ketchup and pasta combo know as "sketti."
