Honey Boo Boo has numbed me for the rest of the week. Now TLC is bringing the conjoined twins Abby and Brittany Hensel to the TV in their latest gawker series.

Abby and Brittany Hensel, 22, will be featured in their own new reality series, TLC’s ‘Abby and Brittany,’ post college and as they secure a first job.

TLC’s “Abby and Brittany” follows the sisters as they graduate from Bethel University in St. Paul, Minn. and head out into the real world.

Stares and questions abound for the brave sisters who have been featured in documentaries on The Discovery Channel, The Learning Channel, and in Time magazine. They share a body with two heads, and have appeared twice on “The Oprah Winfrey Show.”

The sisters are dicephalic parapagus twins, sharing several organs but each with their own distinct personalities.

Brittany is in charge of the right side of the body, while Abby steers the left.

“Abby and Brittany” will follow the twins as they travel to Europe.

The show premieres Aug. 28 on TLC.
