    Love it!!

    What can I say? I'm hooked. At first I was a little disappointed, because I didn't "get it" and I was expecting more of a Reno 911 concept (one of my all time favs). But I gave it a chance, and glad I did. These people are very entertaining! I would love to just sit down,and hang out with them.. I actually love living vicariously through them!! Not only is this show funny, it's actually very heartwarming too. I really hope AMC brings it back next year- cause I'll be waiting!! I agree with one of the comments above, there will definitely be some sort of cult following. Very smart AMC, well done!! Love Breaking Bad as well.. only complaint...not enough episodes, and the wait for another season is ridiculously long!!!!!!!

    Gennius, genius, genius!!

    Oh my god, Small Town Security is my new favorite show. This is seriously the best reality show I've ever seen. At first, like Joel McHale, I thought it was the well acted mockumentary. When I realized it was real I couldn't believe it. Not only are the characters completely BIZARRE but the editing and production is incredible - I love the use of animation to provide background on their lives. I want to hang with the folks at JJK Security. Please don't listen to the idiots giving this show bad reviews - yes Joan is a crass manipulative nutcase, that's why she's brilliant! She eats peanut butter and cool whip in a cup, reads pornos and forces her employee to massage her and clean her clothes. What more do you people want? I am especially fascinated by the INSANE relationship between Joan and Dennis, the transgender guard who seems to think he's Clint Eastwood in Dirty Harry. If you are NOT an idiot who doesn't understand that good characters are not the same as good people, then you will LOVE this show. Highly recommended for anyone with a sense of irony, especially those of the gay persuasion.

    OBSESSED AMC... more, more, more!

    amazing show & amazing people !!!

    THIS is what reality shows SHOULD be like. You can't help but adore every single cast member from the very first episode. Not to mention almost every single episode has made me laugh & cry - that's pretty damn impressive for under 30 minutes of reality TV a week. To already have been up for an award should speak volumes for Small Town Security !!! If possible start from the very first episode because it really does end up blowing your mind. And for anyone who claims this show is "boring" I have no idea what type of shows you are used to but this show is about getting to know the very interesting "characters" that prove truth is stranger than fiction.

    Stupid Ignorant and Trashy! I'm Referring to the Low Rating Reviewers

    If you read the negative reviews not 1 gave the show more than a few minutes or past 1 episode. Some reference Reno 911. No one can judge what a show is going to be after 1 episode. The first episode of The Wire doesn't do justice to what watching the entire series becomes. The point is if you stayed with it through the first season you would have found out what a truly touching show this is. You wish the best for everyone involved in the show, and genuinely grow to care for them. The morons that did not give the show the chance it deserved that threaten to quit watching AMC, I say good. AMC is the only non premium channel making television as great as the premium channels are. No other network comes close. I also find it funny they state only two shows on AMC. The Walking Dead and Breaking Bad. The don't even mention Mad Men or The Killing. Arguably the two better shows. So you go to the other networks, and have fun watching poor mans versions of premium cable television. Leave the grade A stuff for the people that are able to comprehend intelligent material.

    Bet show on T.V.

    A more accurate depiction of what America really is. Pee your pants funny. I had to use "Pee". This is an American site and EVERYTHING is censored. lol I can imagine the "Dennis" character will put off a lot of Americans. The might worry they might catch something. (roll eyes). Hopefully they keep this show on. If Jersey shore can stay on, how can this fail? Old people peeing themselves, transformers, rubes, What more can you ask for? Have an open mind!!! There are a lot of shows out there. This show won't go down in history as anything memorable or influential but it's fun and harmless. Give it a chance. What's the worst that can happen?
