Moonshiners

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.

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.

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.

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.

Good regular people.Better then other stuff on TV.
