Storyline

The story of Bible-thumping Baptists, beer-swilling bar trash and everyone in between in a small Texas town, contrasted with the appearance-driven world of Hollywood and the hysterical comedy and tender poignancy that come from learning to be yourself and love the family you have instead of the family you want.

User Reviews

What a BLAST!!!!

I love this series, I have loaned it out to friends so much I am going to order another DVD from Del Shores site. If I have a stressful day or just want to chill and laugh, I pick one of the shows from the season and I feel great. All of us have family we can identify with from this show. Rue McClanahan was so funny in this show, I understand she was recovering from surgery and still finished her commitments to the show. Leslie Jordan is as funny as anything we have ever seen him in. I loved him on Will and Grace but I hope he gets the opportunity to work more as his character Brother Boy. Caroline Rhea, AWESOME!!! TY, we all need more Jason Dottley in our lives. Sissy played by Beth Grant makes me crack up every time she is on. If you can not laugh at this show, you take life way to serious. Thank you Del Shores, I hope we have more to look forward to with this series.
