Another big hit for TLC was Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. The character, real name Alana Thompson, first gained fame on Toddlers and Tiaras. Fans loved tuning in to her and her family’s antics. But then mom June Shannon did something that many viewers felt was unacceptable — and thus put an end to the series.

When June became linked to a man named Mark Daniels, people were outraged. Daniels served time in prison for molesting one of June’s other daughters, Anna Caldwell. June swore it never happened, yet it was enough for the network to cancel the show for good.
