Mama June Family Crisis – great rankings on cable

TV Shows Ace reported that plenty of critics complain on social media about the WEtv show this season. Firstly, it features Sugar Bear’s wife, Jennifer a lot. Many people can’t stand her and think she just competes with June. They see her trying to get custody of Honey Boo Boo from Pumpkin and Josh. Plus, she always seems focused on herself as the center of attention. She entered her grandchild, Harper in the same pageant as Ella Grace.

One of the biggest complaints from critics focuses on what looks like very bad acting. One critic even suggested that the bad guys’ SUV lurking outside Pumpkin’s home probably got driven by a member of the Mama June: Family Crisis crew.

Fans saw that take place after Mama June texted Pumpkin and warned her she owed money to them. Her friend, Big Mike told Doe Doe that they don’t mess around. But, despite those complaints, the show ranked exceptionally well with cable viewers.

Mama June Family Crisis – fans obviously outweigh critics

Certainly, it seems that despite the many critics, the Mama June: Family Crisis show attracts plenty of followers. While the results could be attributed to the lack of shows filmed ahead of quarantine, the numbers show the bottom line is the popularity of the show. This season, fans see that Mama June gets indicted for drug paraphernalia, and becomes estranged from her daughters. The family seems determined to get June either back home, or into rehab as soon as possible.
