Will be on Tru TV starting in December. Channel 246 on DirecTV.

The Jury is out for me. Tru TV is usually the Wal Mart of TV, so I do not expect much. It is sad that the Mabes have resorted to this for attention.

Agreed Runner..
It will be a black mark for them and Branson. Not sure what they were thinking...
Unless the "family" needs the "cash" that this job paid.. Heard they are struggling this year..... Even with the other 2 shows have at the theatre this year.

I predict that this show will be the end of the Baldknobbers. Sad to see.

To me it seems like the writing is on the wall because of all the strange moves they have made this year.

1. They added shows in Jan and Feb
2. Went back on the road for some dates
3. Rented out the theater to other shows for the first time ever.
4. The reality TV series
5. Tickets at Branson 2 for 1

Looks like they are selling their soul for revenue. Hope it works out for them, but I really think it is the beginning of the end for the Hillbilly humor shows in general for Branson.

You all know most of this will be scripted for them Right ?

Branson has lost most of what made it special. Its becoming just a tourist trap. If the new generation succees in getting rid of the hilbilly stuff then count me out

According to this article there has been a air date released. Dec 29.

I wish the Mabe family well, but fear this program may be a new low for Branson.

runner1960 · December 05, 2014, 07:24:27 AM

Junior, I agree with the new low comment. The network it is showing on is known for some of the trashiest TV shows broadcast. Not sure if I will watch on not. Probably not.

sanddunerider · December 05, 2014, 08:29:40 AM

Waiting for someone else to say it.. LOL.. I wont watch it.,
I am not a bladknobber fan to begin with

.
I will wait for the reviews here on the board

mhguy77 · December 05, 2014, 08:54:37 AM

Sanddune I am with you. I will wait to hear how it is. I am afraid its low class spin on Branson.
It didn't look like they were taking the high road in the preview.

History Buff · January 02, 2015, 09:26:03 PM

Just watched 30 seconds of the show - enough to convince me to never go to their show.

MoOzark · January 02, 2015, 11:00:49 PM

I saw it. If I had to choose one word to describe it, it would be "embarrassing." It was not spontaneous and seemed scripted. It was like watching a soap opera. I'm old enough to remember the first generation Baldknobbers and I am a little disappointed in this generations show. I would really like to see them succeed. So, I hope they know what they are doing with this reality show. It seems like a bit of a risk to me.

sanddunerider · January 03, 2015, 05:58:07 AM

Sounds like what we pretty well expected. $:-\$

I hope the barry Williams show which airs on GAC on Feb 5th, is a better representation of the Branson area...
