Not that there’s anything wrong with that (as long as they’re not racist). I don’t watch a lot of reality television, but one can’t help but notice the increase of more rural folk on TV in the US these days. I have seen "Moonshiners"once, and my guess is that you can’t get much more back woods than some of those folks , but I’m willing to hear about other contenders.

Not reality TV per se, but I would say the White family from _Dancing Outlaw_ and _The Wild Wonderful Whites_ probably win the crown of greatest actual hillbillies to have come to the attention of popular media for no other reason than being hillbillies.

The only reality show I watch is Lizard Lick Towing. Ron Shirley has got to be up there somewhere when it comes to rednecks.

I don’t know the name of the show, but I’d vote for Turtle Man. He seems like a nice guy, and he’s doing a service in catching possums and coons and snapping turtles and relocating them. But shouldn’t he be making enough money from the show to buy some teeth?

I don’t know what the name of the show was but these taxidermists pose animals for different scenarios. The episode I turned off featured two of the biggest rednecks I’ve ever seen.

I mentioned this once before here, but I think **Shelby Stanga** of _Ax Men_ is the living, breathing version of **Early Cuyler** of _Squidbillies_!
