"Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" was, for better or worse, a wildly popular reality show that delighted some and horrified others... until the series came to an abrupt end in 2014.
Nearly two years ago, TLC pulled "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" off the air following reports that the family matriarch, June Shannon, was dating a convicted child molester. Fans of the small-town Georgia family mourned the abrupt cancellation of the program, and the show's stars say that they, too, felt caught off-guard.
As 10-year-old Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson tells "Oprah: Where Are They Now?", she had quite a literal wake-up call when she got out of bed and realized there were no cameras or producers in the house.
"I woke up one morning and was like, 'Where is the crew?'" Alana says. "My mom was like, 'We stopped filming the show.'"
Understandably, the former child pageant queen had mixed emotions about the cancellation.
"I was kind of happy about that... and at the same time, I was sad," she says today. "So, I was 'sa-happy?'"
You can catch up with the stars of "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" on this weekend's episode of "Oprah: Where Are They Now?", airing Saturday, April 30, at 10 p.m. ET on OWN.
