Ozarks Gonna Be Featured On Discovery Channel

You would not be allowed to make anything like Blazing Saddles or All in the Family today.

There's lots of talent out there but unfortunately the world wants to watch crap.

Yup. Too many lines that can't be crossed, and overly heavy penalties for fouls. Bill Cosby was able to pull off clean/PC humor but nobody since him has been able to do it IMO.

That's just because nobody else wants to work as hard at it as Bill Cosby did.

Geez, what a crock of BS. I have known some true hillbillies in my time, but that was many years ago. Something for ratings is what it looks like to me.

You have to remember that there are lots of people on both coast that have a whole different idea of what life is here then what is real. Rural Missouri has been full of "survivors" as long as I can remember. It's always hard to see the forest for the trees. Some of my family goes back to 1814 and 1816 so it all looks normal to me.

I always remember from the late 60's when an acquaintance of my dad had an English born wife, she told my folks that here biggest disappointment with Oklahoma was that it was hard know who were Indians. She had expected them to dress like in the films and ride horses.

As far as Arkansas stereotypes, weeel I'll keep quiet. Seems like I might have heard an Arkansas joke or two if I remember right?

Na they could do it still they just choose not to as it would show the hypocritical bias of Hollywierd to much. Look what happened with Phil Robertson and the support he got. I know they could make them still and should. I mean come on who didn't die laughing with the old lady bringing the sheriff the pie secretly or When Archie found out who his new neighbors were. Man now I need to go find where I stashed that episode and watch it again.

Wow -- the same people who brought us Naked and Afraid, Amish Mafia and Moonshiners 'documentaries'?

[Greasy B]

On this day of broadcast banality, insipid humor and cesspool comedy our world is less tolerable now that weve lost Sid Caesar. Sid was a true funny man; his writers defined my generations comedy. I'll appreciate Bill Cosby and the few other comics who rely being clever a little more.

[Terrierman]

Come on you guys, "Hillbilly Blood" is real.

The reality of reality shows is they are cheap to make and enough people watch them to make them profitable. When that stops, something else will come along. But not until.

Wonder if crowbar will show his technique for filleting trophy smallmouths?

[LittleRedFisherman]

Here's another clip they put up I saw posted on Facebook...lol..
