Sweet Home Alabama is a new reality show like "The Bachelorette," Alabama style. Guys from the big cities and small towns are trying to win over Devin Grissom's affection. Devin is a student of the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. This reality show is shown on CMT and is filmed at Mobile Bay, AL. You can watch this reality show on Thursday night at 9PM CST on CMT.
Flipping Dixie premiered today, Saturday at 11AM CST on A&E. Robert Lee, owner of Cullman Liquidators, goes around and purchases old mobile homes, refurbishes, and resells them. The first time Doug and I heard about this show was yesterday, while listening to Rick and Bubba on the radio. They were interviewing Robert Lee about his new show on A & E. One caller commented that Robert's stories and adventurers were so funny that is why it made a good show. Howie Mandel narrates the show. It was a little entertaining to watch, especially since you know that it's not far from your house. LOL!
The video that sold A & E to viewing this television entertainment in the making. LOL!
I Love My State!
