Just...Plain...AWFUL..!! Caught this one night on TV, and it was so tragically bad that I had to keep watching to the very end, with a morbid curiosity which compels you to rubberneck after observing a car accident on the freeway. I won't say much about it, but let's just say that we are rapidly approaching the decline of Western civilization if they air drivel like this. Where have all the good shows gone? Even the weakest episode of the all-time classic series Twilight Zone or Get Smart, to cite but a couple of examples, would trounce this trash in entertainment value. Watch an episode at your own peril. Bet you won't tune in for an encore.

I tuned into this show expecting to roll my eyes at a bunch of dumb red necks and scoff at CMT for producing another idiotic reality show. But then I got sucked in and completely immersed in the Southern lifestyle and antics of the cast.The Southern schtick is something new and casting was very well done (with the exception of Lauren - ugh I can't stand her). Lots of comparisons are being made to Jersey Shore, but I feel like this cast is less guarded and has more heart. The cast doesn't seem to care about what anyone thinks, but they do all care about each other. With that being said, the show still serves up lots of drama, fights and craziness, which can sometimes be lost when the cast gets along. Big Daddy and Murray are hilarious, Mattie is a hot mess of fun, Tiffany is someone you'd want to have you back, Walt is the unattainable man's man, and Lyle is very lovable.I hope it's renewed for a second season. I can see big things for this show if it's properly advertised and gets the right viewership.As Big Daddy said, Jersey Shore was GTL - Gym, Tan, Laundry and Party Down South is Gym, Tan, Liquor Store.

For those who put this show down...I don't know what you consider entertaining. They make me laugh. Don't put others down because of your own insecurities. They had a blast and that's all that matters. They are way more entertaining than the Jersey Shore cast by far!!! What the hell you expect on reality TV?! For it to be perfect? Sorry this isn't a movie where everything is scripted and made up. You're not perfect so quit trash talking a show. I hope y'all continue making more seasons. Don't let anyone stop y'all. Y'all stay strong. And for those who complain..they just looking for a reason to be negative. You can't top the south. We just know how to have fun. So keep it up. Have a blast. Keep doing more crazy things so I could be entertained every Thursday night. Thank you guys for being so crazy!!!!!!

Now I Enjoyed reality television shows about the south like Duck Dynasty & lizard lick towing, but this trainwreck infested with filth is a complete disgrace to the south and the world as a whole, it's a story about 8 adults spending summer on vacation, is this the same person that did the trainwreck called jersey shore many years ago, well this makes me wanna puke, none of the people are interesting, the plot is stupid, the video looks atrocious and the writing is out of control, although this piece of crap is not nearly as extremely dreadful as here comes honey boo boo, but pretty close, this is a vile travesty indeed and it goes on my list of the worst TV shows of the year indeed.
