Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.”</p><p>But now, some two months later, it is clear that viewers would not heed such a warning.</p><p>According to Nielsen data, the series, which follows a 7-year-old beauty pageant queen, Alana Thompson, a k a Honey Boo Boo, and her family, has averaged 2.4 million total viewers. What’s more impressive, however, is the show’s performance among 18- to 49-year-olds, the demographic deemed most important by advertisers.</p><p>On Wednesday night, it was the highest-rated cable show in that category, easily beating out the No. 2-ranked show, the season premiere of “South Park” on Comedy Central. Such a feat was typical of “Honey Boo Boo’s” eight-week run, when it either won or shared the top Wednesday cable ranking in that category six times. That included the Aug. 29 episode, which drew more adults between 18 and 49 than Fox News’s coverage of the Republican National Convention, and the Sept. 5 episode, which tied CNN’s coverage of the Democratic National Convention.</p><p>This week, TLC ordered more episodes of the series, as well as three holiday specials to be shown around Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. It’s a move that will surely <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120930091216/http://www.metacritic.com/tv/here-comes-honey-boo-boo">draw more ire from critics</a>, and just as likely be welcomed

Why? I need a level-headed conservative to explain this to me, and Charles R. Kesler seems an excellent candidate. An amiable Harvard-educated disciple of the conservative philosopher Leo Strauss, an admirer of Cicero and the founding fathers and Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jr. and Ronald Reagan, he teaches at Claremont McKenna College and is the editor of The Claremont Review of Books, one of the better conservative publications.</p></blockquote><p>The full Book Review is <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120930091216/http://www.nytimes.com/pages/books/review/index.html">here</a>.</p></div></div><div class="entry-meta"><div class="shareTools shareToolsThemeClassic shareToolsThemeClassicHorizontal articleShareToolsBottom" data-shares="facebook|,twitter|,google|" data-url="https://web.archive.org/web/20120930091216oe_/http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/09/28/book-review-podcast-the-great-disconnect/" data-title="Book Review Podcast: The Great Disconnect" data-description="Mark Lilla talks about Charles Kesler’s “I Am the Change.""></div></div><hr/><div class="post-289421 post type-post status-publish hentry category-the-sweet-spot-2 entry " id="entry-289421"> <header class="postHeader"><div class="postMetaHeader"> <span class="timestamp published" title="2012-09-28T12:58:53+00:00"> <span class="date">September 28, 2012, <em>12:58 pm</em></span></span><span class="postMetaHeaderCommentCount commentCount"><a class="commentCountLink icon commentIcon hidden" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120930091216/http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/09/28/the-sweet-spot-sept-28/"></a></span></div><h3 class="entry-title"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120930091216/http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/09/28/the-sweet-spot-sept-28/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to The Sweet Spot: Sept. 28">The Sweet Spot: Sept. 28</a></h3> <address class="byline author vcard">By <a href="/web/20120930091216/http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/author/the-new-york-times/" class="url fn" title="See all posts by THE NEW YORK TIMES">THE NEW YORK TIMES</a></address></header><div class="entry-content"><div class="w480"><script type="text/javascript" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120930091216js_/http://js.nyt.com/js2/build/video/2.0/videofactory.js" id="live-blogging-video-js-2"></script><script type="text/javascript">/*<![CDATA[*/// (function() { var config = { container: 'video-container-rnd584445592', // id of the container OR HTMLElement id: 'embed_rnd584445592', // id of the </object> tag videoId: "100000001813255", // Reference ID of initial video to play publishId: '2128089001', // Prod?
