This is just an opinion from a northern born, southern raised girl; I agree with Amy in that Robert's daughter was caught up in a good story, and presented the family as having problems as the next family. I thought they should have focased more on the southern values and cultures that is the greatest part of being a southerner. Living in the north, I see the differences. Here, I am labeled as being southern. In Kentucky I am a northerner. I can't win either way. We raised our children with southern values, and we are very proud of the results. It always makes us mad when we see shows such as this. I only watched it because I thought that family of Bowlings might be related to us. I haven't made a connection yet though I will keep looking. I thought it would be genealogical based. They did give names and some dates. I was going to record it, but hesitated because of the content. Now I'm glad that I didn't. I would rather take my chances and find that information elsewhere. Donna Sisco Ps. My husband was born In Martin, and raised in Johnson County and he will always be 'proud of it'.
