The show features 7-year-old Alana Thompson who is one of the young beauty contestants on Toddlers & Tiaras, also on TLC. Alana rose to the spotlight with the show's "Go Go Juice" episode and, now with her own show, keeps on rising.

Alana, who calls herself "Honey Boo Boo," is featured along with her family, who jokingly refer to themselves as rednecks. In the new show's first episode, the Thompsons visit the "Redneck Games" and one of the girls bobs for pigs feet.
