Buckwild

...And now here comes "Buckwild." I honestly have no idea how MTV decides what is and what isn't "entertainment" these days. "Jersey Shore," which I feel guilty for having been a viewer of, met its demise in being canceled last year, and to fill its shoes with equal stupidity and cultural stereotypes is "Buckwild." "Buckwild" attempts to be something a little bit different by combining "Jersey Shore"-style debauchery with "Jackass." The show follows nine 20-somethings in West Virginia and their definition of having fun in the backwoods of WV. Needless to say, "Buckwild" doesn't do much to help the image of West Virginia backwoodsmen and backwoods-women (West Virginia state Senator Joe Manchin publicly denounced the show and went on live television trying to tell people that this is not how his state really is) and is equal parts debauchery and crazy stunts. But like "Jerse Shore," all "Buckwild" is = mindless entertainment. I don't know how MTV found out about these kids, but you'll find yourself sucked into the stupidity and even liking it.

Without a doubt, "Buckwild" is MTV's new hit reality TV series to fill the gap left by "Jersey Shore" late last year.

6/10

Buckwild * Star Now I Enjoyed some southern reality shows such as lizard lick towing & duck dynasty, but this idiotic jersey shore meets here comes honey boo boo like retread is just plain awful (although not nearly as extremely dreadful as here comes honey boo boo last year, but still close) it's about several strangers move into the west virginia home with their wild attitudes and with antics and the same simple stuff, although they are some good moments, but the rest of this show is just plain awful it makes me truly sad to see the south look good with this mess, like I Say it again although not nearly as truly dreadful as here comes honey boo boo, but close.

There's a new TV show on MTV called "Buckwild". The series follows the lives of nine so- called "young adults" in Sissonville, West Virginia who each have a great love for the small- town American life and seemingly create their own unique ways to enjoy life in the rural area surrounding them.

And that's the set-up for the most throughly hateful television show I've ever seen, a show that makes me cringe even when I'm sitting here thinking about it. Their idea of having a good time is by doing the dumbest things in the world. This show makes "Jersey Shore" look like a masterpiece.

The people at MTV are passing this off as entertainment, well, I got a newsflash for you: it's deplorable. There isn't a single gag or joke that works. It's appalling, I was feeling disgusted as I was sitting there watching it. It's junk, first-class junk. I know there will be teens out there who like the show, but they just don't understand how stupid, lazy, offensive and awful this show is. It's the wrong image of West Virginia. Something like showing the history of the state, the Hatfield-McCoy feud or the Marshall Thundering Herd/W. Virginia Mountaineers rivalry would be ten billion times better then this. This is just trash to be thrown away, if you ask me. I know that people do this stuff, but they don't need to make a TV show about. Come on, people.

I hated this show! Hated hated hated hated hated this show. Hated it. Hated every simpering stupid vacant audience-insulting moment of it. Hated the sensibility that thought anyone would like it. Hated the implied insult to the audience by its belief that anyone would be entertained by it. Citizens of W. Virginia, this show sucks.

Buckwild is an awesome TV show!

It looks like so much fun, I wish my childhood was like that - mudding, water slides, wrestling, shooting, quad biking etc...

I think we can all learn an important lesson from them; that life is short and so we should enjoy every moment we get by being silly and having fun. Everyone needs to lighten up, if anything the show has made me want to move to West Virginia and join in!!!

OK some of the things they do are a bit dangerous, but they aren't hurting anyone. They aren't tied down to the serious and predictable routine of society and I love that! Who says everyone has to follow the same boring old path in life?? AND who's says you have to grow up??? They take responsibility for themselves and their homes, whatever else they do is up to them.

Also they aren't technology zombies, glued to their iPhone or Xbox, but are out in nature being active and loving life :)

Overall - an awesome show! Can't wait for season 2!!!!

This is the most ridiculous, staged bunch of garbage that has been shown on television. The have scripted reality television trying to draw in the audience on the "Wild, Wonderful Whites" premise. It is sad to see this actually representing West Virginia. This state already has a horrible reputation for back woods, inbred, hillbilly stupidity without having this put a severely inaccurate picture on it. The fact that they paid people to appear in this show to "represent" locals is appalling. These kids that are starring in it are hoping for a spring board to reality fame such as happened with Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian, the whole of the teen mom group.

What amuses myself and my coworkers most is that everything is in Sissonville. I am not sure when Quaker Steak and Lube moved from Southridge in Charleston off of 119 to Sissonville, but I am sure it was the same time the Town and Country Lanes in Nitro also miraculously uprooted and went there as well.

If you want to enjoy the show for the sheer entertainment value about the degradation of society and see the future generations that will lead this country by all means enjoy. But please, do not think these idiots represent the majority of hard working West Virginians.
