The Legend of Shelby the Swamp Man (2013)
This is not Certified Cajun.
Shelby, The Swamp Man, is an entertaining character but entirely made up by writers who insult our Cajun heritage. When I saw Shelby use his shotgun as a boat paddle, I immediately knew this show was totally full of it. Only a complete moron would use a shotgun as a boat paddle. I am from the bayous of real "Cajun" Acadiana, Louisiana. Shelby is from the Lake Ponchartrain area which is not a true Cajun region. Even in the Ponchartrain, people don't rip through the bayous shooting guns carelessly and saying, "Eoooo!!!", Every other word. His vocabulary is ridiculous and obviously blown out of proportion. If he would keep his mouth shut most of the time, maybe the show would receive 2 stars. Being from South Louisiana and watching this feels like a slap in the face to my heritage.
