    Damn, I hate that show.I’ve been deep in the heart of Lousiana with other family, and NEVER ONCE have I met someone who acts like the people portrayed on that show. I’ve seen gator hunters and they damn sure don’t look like this A-hole.

    I was flipping channels yesterday and came across something called "backwoods boneheads." If you're white and feeling the least bit "supremacist," it will surely humble you.

    c'mon man... swamp people is the t***. Troy Landry king of the swamp!!! And these people seem like a special breed, so maybe that's why you haven't met too many of them. The show is probably rigged, but entertaining nonetheless.

    I know a few people from Louisiana and they are so ugly from years of French inbreeding that they closely resemble the swamp-land nutria that they hunt down and shoot.

    that guy is probably the most genuine on that show OP. Why you so pissed?
    I don't think he's on that show but that guy Shelby Stanga is funny as hell.

    I know reality shows carry a little bit of skepticism with them these days, and most, if not at all, are manipulated to at least a certain extent. But you gotta believe that shows like this, Deadliest Catch, Dirty Jobs, etc are fairly authentic. And especially in the case of Swamp People, that you don't actually know people like this or have seen them, doesn't mean they don't exist. Those people on that show don't really do it for the money, because it doesn't make the kind of money that say fisherman on Deadliest Catch make. It's a way of life for probably only a small fraction of the Louisiana community.

    This is probably true, I just get a little p.o.'d because I know that History Channel(I think?) edits it a lot to make these people look extra dumb. Frustrating that it's probably the only show on T.V. based on people in Louisiana and of course it based on in-bread, illiterate, people.(not saying that they are indeed illerate or in-breads, but that's how they are portrayed on the show.)

    I don't think any of the characters are portrayed as "dumb". Just backwoods Louisiana folks who hunt gators.

    Well, Willy is dumb.

    i like the show, but i'm black, so maybe i'm being racist. honestly though, i've watched it and sorry, it reminds of people in louisana, i have family there. some educated, some not so much.

    I wonder if they'll produce a show about non-white people in the swamps or what not any time soon. All these outdoorsy folks reality show seem decidedly white (Deadliest Catch, logging shows, swam shows, redneck hand fishing, Sons of Guns, monster fish catching shows, survival shows).

    and that's why they don't have their own show.
