Branson Talk / Re: Baldknobbers: Reality TV??

Here is my post without How Do's quote. I messed up the quote button.
will agree with How Do. I broke down and watched it. The first time through I was not to impressed but the wife wanted to see it so I gave it a second go through. I believe it is somewhat scripted but not totally. After the second go through I get it. You are kind of seeing the backside of the Branson entertainment industry.
I am no fan of Branson shows but this gives you a glimpse of the behind the scenes infighting that I would imagine goes on with all Branson shows not just the Baldknobbers. It also touches on the Power struggle within the family to control the direction the show will take in the future. Brandon Mabe who is the son of the Droopy character is trying to make the show more relevant to the times. There is also a younger sister who wants to be on stage but does not have the talent. The brunette seems to be a little power hungry and wants in the family.
One thing I thought was interesting was that the other Mabe family ( not sure of his name) was on the show but did not ever speak. I am sure this will change in future shows.
All in all it was typical reality TV. Some people will be mad because it shows a side of Branson that they believe does not exist or should not be shown. But, why put on blinders and pretend things do not exist. I also watched the documentary we always lie to strangers and thought it presented a good perspective on the other side of the Branson industry.
I do not get the channel that Barry Williams show is on so I will not watch it, but never was a fan of him anyway. My wife would jump on it in a minute though.
