Entertaining and full of good information. To argue if this show is real or not is like arguing if rastlin' is real. For the guy who left a review about discovery channel promoting illegal activity and dumbing down audiences. All I can say is if you think it should be illegal for anyone to make themselves something to drink, well I guess the government has done their job at brainwashing you.
Most reviews point out the tiresome misleading exaggerations and lies. My complaint is whenever one of them gets hurt, they carry on about paying "Doctor Bills". We don't have debtor prisons, even in the South, so please stop.
Tks We know how much they get paid per episode; so whining about Dr bills right out of the gate of an injury is borderline fraud and a slap in the face to the truly impoverished and disabled trying to live off of average 1700.00 a month. I do like that the editors stay away from politics.
It has been a couple of seasons since I last saw a pet. Maybe bring in a puppy or 2.

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.
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.
