Along with all those glamor-filled reality romps like Real Housewives, their not so glamorous cousins are stompin' right to the top of the ratings too. Toothless, mulleted and bearded persons unite! I can watch them! (Just please, I beg of you, no pony tails in your beards cuz that's where I draw the line!)

Here are some of my favorites in redneck reality TV:

Hillbilly Hand Fishin'

Animal Planet was never the same again after they debuted this show, but it was a surprise hit! Hillbilly Hand Fishin' received 40% higher ratings that the average of any other show in its time slot. The show focuses on the Bivins family who operate Big Fish Adventures in Temple, Oklahoma. Skipper Bivins and his brother, Scooter, keep the noodling going strong. No, noodling  isn't like canoodling -- it's nothin' dirty, y'all, it just means the act of catchin' catfish with yer bare hands - and even yer bare feet!
