99 Words About … Cable TV’s redneck obsession
It would be nice to think that viewers interested in strange lands and nearly unintelligible accents would check out BBC America.
Maybe PBS.
Instead, it’s redneck shows.
To fill the Honey Boo Boo void, “Redneck Island” (9 p.m. Saturday, CMT) is back. Think of it as “White-Trash Survivor,” without the copyright infringement.
If that’s still not enough, here are other outlets for your backwoods fix:
CMT: “Bayou Billionaires,” “My Big Redneck Wedding,” “Redneck Rehab”
Animal Planet: “Hillbilly Handfishin’,” “Call of the Wildman”
History Channel: “Swamp People,” “Mudcats”
A&E: “Duck Dynasty,” “American Hoggers”
National Geographic: “Rocket City Rednecks”
Discovery: “Moonshiners”
