I love watching NFL Football on Sundays.   I love Law & Order: Criminal Intent.   HBO programming is usually pretty great.   Some reality TV is interesting (Top Chef is cool,  Biggest Loser is inspiring and Jersey Shore gives me a warm &  fuzzy feeling on the inside of my belly.)  I even hate to admit it, but if Sex In The City (movie or episodes) are on, I’ll watch it…

Yet I got to say, there’s no substitute for watching Redneck Americans when they’re on Television.  Put ‘em on game shows, or reality shows, or COPS, or the 10 o’clock news…or even PBS…they’re always entertaining.  Its a surefire way to get viewership back when ratings are falling.   Real Housewives of Orange County not doing well?  Throw in a Redneck family.  Neilson will be your new best friend.

The best part is when they know they’re rednecks and they admit it.  They have babies at 16, pickup trucks at 17, and no teeth at 18…and its all on TV for us to gaze at in awe.  Add a shotgun and an orange hunting jacket and I’ll be happier than…a redneck with a shotgun and an orange hunting jacket.   You are a mystery to me Redneck Amercia, but I love you.

So I just wanted to say Thank You….Thank You for being you.
