The popular television channel, TLC, has some very interesting shows these days. These shows have gained popularity with amusing concepts and entertaining storytelling tactics.
“Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” is an example of one of TLC’s eccentric shows. The show is about the life and family of a child pageant queen. The show includes her mom June Shannon, dad Mike “Sugar Bear” Thompson and her three older sisters Anna, Jessica and Lauryn.
The family is often crass but they always entertain the viewers with their quirky situations. “Honey Boo Boo,” whose real name is actually Alana, is a little girl with a big personality. She steals the show with her funny comments and smart mouth. The show is a spin-off of the popular, yet controversial, TLC show “Toddlers and Tiaras,” which showcases the lives of several mini-pageant queens and their loud-mouth mothers.
Breaking Amish is another entertaining TLC program. It follows four Amish people as they experience life outside of the Amish world. They head to New York City and experience life as other people do. These kids are completely out of their comfort zone and are put in a world where they have no clue how to fit in or how to process the regular lifestyle. They also deal with drama of their cast mates and are put in dramatic situations. They will eventually have to make a choice whether they want to return to their community or remain in New York City and possibly lose all of their friends and family.
The show “My Strange Addiction,” is about people who are addicted to abnormal things. Some are addicted to drinking gasoline, eating laundry detergent or acting like a baby. These people are sent to psychologists to be examined and counseled. While often disturbing, this show is strangely entertaining. Each episode features a few different strange addictions, which all seem to get more and more ridiculous as the season progresses. Similarly, TLC also features a show called “My Strange Obsession,” which follows people with debilitating obsessions.
One of the newer TLC programs currently on air is “Secret Princes.” This gem follows four foreign bachelors who all come from royal lines. The men go undercover in America in order to find true love with women who will adore them for their charm, not their royal riches. The guys are hilariously spoiled and constantly fighting with each other over everything from women to the bathroom they share.
“My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding” as well as “My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding” follow the lives of American and British gypsies. The show’s fascinating portrayal of the gypsy lifestyle and the unique extravagance of gypsy weddings make this show a “must-see” if you are looking to fully experience the weirdness of TLC’s lineup.
And who could forget about “Sister Wives,” another disturbingly entertaining show about a polygamist family. The show follows Kody Brown, his four wives (Meri, Janelle, Christine and Robyn) and their 17 children.
A few other shows on TLC are: “Say Yes to the Dress,” “19 Kids and Counting,” “Brides of Beverly Hills,” “Cake Boss,” “Extreme Couponing,” “Hoarding: Buried Alive,” “Long Island Medium” and “The Little Couple.”
No matter what type of entertainment you are looking for, TLC is bound to be airing something interesting at any time during the day or night. Tune in for fascinating stories and guaranteed laughs.
