While the Republican National Convention has been going on, it would seem like most of us would be tuned into our televisions to hear Mitt Romney and other Republicans talk about our country.

Apparently, most of the country is ignoring the convention and instead watching America’s favorite redneck … Honey Boo Boo Child!

On Wednesday night, the reality show Here Comes Honey Boo Boo premiered its fourth episode of the season.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Nielsen overnight ratings report that the show got nearly 3 million viewers to watch, earning a 1.3 rating among ages 18-49, edging out coverage of the RNC on Fox News. 

Honey Boo Boo’s mom June recently went on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show and said of the show’s popularity:

“A lot of people say they can relate to us. Our fan base tells us that when they have a bad day they can be able to watch our show and be able to get a good laugh; I honestly laugh at the show too because it is kind of funny, because we know we have fun filming it. It’s just all about having fun making memories.”
