Rocket City Rednecks-Newest Guilty Pleasure on TV

I admit to a fascination with Rocket City Rednecks on National Geographic. This is one of my favorite channels, along with Discovery Channel, Cooking Channel, TNT and USA for neat new shows.
RCR is an outstanding addition to my TV/DVR shows. I've no idea how long this show has been on, but I am so very glad to have finally found it.
The show is based on the scientific redneck activity of five Southern Gentlemen (which is one of their S trilogy of rules)
From National Geographic channel site: "Meet the self-proclaimed Rocket City Rednecks. They’re five “backwoods” guys from the rocket city: Huntsville, Alabama, home to NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center and the birthplace of the U.S. space program. Sure, they love to shoot stuff and drink beer, and one of ’em lives in a trailer, but with a family tree full of NASA rocket scientists (not to mention their own PhDs and advanced degrees), they aim a little higher—like using homemade moonshine to fuel a rocket! In each episode, we'll see how they apply redneck ingenuity with advanced engineering and physics to creatively solve real-world problems... and have a little fun, of course!"


Watching this show reminds me of one of DH's (my own Rocket Redneck) favorite sayings, "Just because I talk slow, doesn't mean I am slow." Would that the rocket scientists where I work were as hellah cool as these five and their friends.

New Guilty Pleasure Show.....Hillybilly Handfishin' on Animal Planet

O...M..G! I have me a brand new guilty pleasure show!! Hillybilly Handfishin' on Animal Planet premiered on Sunday night. From Animal Planet / Hillbilly Handfishin' site http://animal.discovery.com/tv/hillbilly-handfishin/ :

"Led by Oklahoma hand-fishermen and self-proclaimed hillbillies Skipper Bivins and Trent Jackson, get a taste of the redneck lifestyle by going through the paces of noodling catfish in Hillbilly Handfishin'. Think you're cut out for Noodling?...."

The show is on Sunday nights at 9pm (I guess Eastern). We caught it last night flippin' through the channels at work. I asked if we could take a look at the show with the highly intriguing title. I believe Bravo Crew is hooked (for lack of a better, less punny term).


Skipper and Trent lead three or four teams of two peeps each from all over the country and teach them to noodle a catfish. This means getting in muddy bodies of water and sticking your hand into holes in the mud and see who catches the biggest catfish with their bare hands (or foot as the case may be)


The show we watched had a team of two Chicago cops, two women with big breastesses in tank tops, and a brother and sister team. Lots of squeals about bugs and mud and snakes and mud.


TOO MUCH FUN! Next Sunday's show "Catfish are Wicked Cute".
