"Here Comes Honey Boo Boo," TLC's controversial reality show about a self-proclaimed "redneck" family and their "Toddlers & Tiaras" daughter, hit another ratings high Wednesday night.
The fourth episode of "Honey Boo Boo" pulled in just shy of 3 million viewers at 10 p.m., according to Nielsen overnight ratings, growing 30 percent from last week's 2.3 million haul.

In the demo, "Honey Boo Boo" did even better. The half-hour series' showing among adults 18-49 bested all other cable outings for the night -- including coverage of the Republican National Convention -- to pull a 1.3 rating. FOX News gave the show its closest competition, with a 1.2 adults rating in the same time period.

On the broadcast networks, "Honey Boo Boo" bested ABC and CBS'
demo showing for the RNC combined, and it topped NBC by two-tenths of a point.
Aggregate coverage of the RNC across networks obviously eclipsed "Honey Boo Boo"
considerably.

What's more, the series
is obliterating its parent series' lead-in. "Toddlers & Tiaras" drew
only 1.6 million viewers and a 0.6 rating among adults 18-49 at 9 p.m. That's
less than the 10:30 encore episode of "Honey Boo Boo," which pulled in 1.8
million and a 0.8 adults rating.
"Honey Boo Boo" premiered to 2.2 million
viewers earlier in August.
