Moonshiners

You come to really like some of these guys. The problem is that they keep trying to change things up because the show has run so long. Every moonshine season they can't be doing the same thing they did the last season. They honestly come from moonshine ancestors. I really don't like it when they act like they're afraid of "the law" since they have permission from authorities to film the show. I guess they could be trying to show how things were. As an aside, the story of Popcorn Sutton is interesting. There's a lot more to it than they show. The guy says I'd rather be dead than go to prison. I've seen it in my work. It's not really unusual.

All I can say is that you got a couple sore losers on there. Mike and Jerry can't handle a little healthy competition no Mike has to go and destroy someone still that's their livelihood who cares if they're on your turf make some better moonshine and then they buy yours. All I can say Mike is that your insecure little girl . I would expect this from Mike but not I cannot even watch the show because it pisses me off I hope somebody teaches you to a lesson that you never forget. I hope Richard has plans for you and I'm pretty sure he does . I hope that Digger and Mark help them get revenge on you. I really hope you take precautions because I have a feeling Richard's going to come out in a full revenge and I hope he does. You guys need to learn how to make your own moonshine better and then you wouldn't have this problem..

An interesting (although shallow) look, into the production of Moonshine. Although there is a lot of talk about the heritage and dying art of making moonshine, it's obviously the (repeatably labeled 'TAX FREE') money, that is the primary motivation for the moonshiners involved.

The shows strongest asset, is its many likable personalities. However the desperately bad attempts by the producers, to edit the show into suggesting, that the moonshiners are constantly on the verge of being caught by the police, really sticks out and make the show seem more like another bad run of the mill reality show, rather than what it could and should be: A honest depiction of the life and challenges, of modern day moonshiners.

People in these areas still carry on this tradition and this show tells of some of the problems that exist. Sure moonshine is now available in liquor stores but are no comparison to the hill variety. These guys are not actor's like some of the other so called reality shows. If anyone thinks this is easy give it a go. They could be in a pawn shop and bring in a bunch of so called experts and then pay about a third of what stuff is worst Maybe the guys could dress in womans clothes and get into a drag race. This is a good show that shows what things use to be like and still is in parts of the country.

What happened to the original idea behind moonshiners? All the other spin offs are not good. Boring, silly and totally scripted. The episode with the confederate is ridiculous. Please return to the original show with new episodes asap.
