Small Town Security

Found it on Amazon Prime. I'm not a big fan of reality tv normally, but I am so glad I found this one.

If you read the negative reviews not 1 gave the show more than a few minutes or past 1 episode. Some reference Reno 911. No one can judge what a show is going to be after 1 episode. The first episode of The Wire doesn't do justice to what watching the entire series becomes. The point is if you stayed with it through the first season you would have found out what a truly touching show this is. You wish the best for everyone involved in the show, and genuinely grow to care for them. The morons that did not give the show the chance it deserved that threaten to quit watching AMC, I say good. AMC is the only non premium channel making television as great as the premium channels are. No other network comes close. I also find it funny they state only two shows on AMC. The Walking Dead and Breaking Bad. The don't even mention Mad Men or The Killing. Arguably the two better shows. So you go to the other networks, and have fun watching poor mans versions of premium cable television. Leave the grade A stuff for the people that are able to comprehend intelligent material.

THIS is what reality shows SHOULD be like. You can't help but adore every single cast member from the very first episode. Not to mention almost every single episode has made me laugh & cry - that's pretty damn impressive for under 30 minutes of reality TV a week. To already have been up for an award should speak volumes for Small Town Security !!! If possible start from the very first episode because it really does end up blowing your mind. And for anyone who claims this show is "boring" I have no idea what type of shows you are used to but this show is about getting to know the very interesting "characters" that prove truth is stranger than fiction.

After reading the other reviews, especially the negative ones, my opinion of this show has doubled. Apparently, this 'unscripted' show has successfully convinced the public that it is actually a 'reality' show. I personally didn't find it very believable at first, but now that I see how many have been tricked, I can better appreciate the brilliant performances of the actors, especially because unscripted implies improvisation. Now I'm hooked and can't stop watching. I'm sure they will eventually jump the shark and spoil the secret sauce, but it will be interesting to see how long it goes. That's my stick story, and I'm sticking to it.

Like most initial viewers of the trailers that popped up while anticipating Breaking Bad pre-Season 5, I was sure this was a heavily pre-scripted attempt to scam viewers of it's reality-ness. I hope they don't change the formula of basically showing the cast's generally boring daily life; it's a GEM! They are interesting and it's a treat to be allowed to listen in to.... *De-hording adventures... *Nightly patrol with two ladies who have a deep love for each other... *Recruit training - from guns to clandestine trailing... *Seriously old school cable shows... *Bodily functions we all have...

I never write on this site (which is obvious), I just thought the overpowering negative reviews (so freaking negative - hateful!) were ridiculous and not representative of the core audience of this cool little show. Most of us prefer relaxin' back with a beer, watching something on TV, and not spending so much precious lazy-time writing about how much we hate something.
