The Reelz channel is scheduled to premiere their new series Hollywood Hillbillies in a couple of weeks. The show chronicles the travails of one time viral video sensation, Michael "The Angry Ginger" Kittrell. The series seems to be part of the network's transformation into a more contemporary format.
The new show will follow Kittrell and his family as they move from the Georgian backwoods to California in support of his burgeoning career as a hip-hop artist.
So it's going to be just like Honey Boo Boo only sadder and in Los Angeles. The official overview on Reelz website almost makes it sound like the toothless Rat Pack:
“Hollywood Hillbillies chronicles the hilarious antics of internet superstars Michael “The Angry Ginger” and his “Mema” as they trade in their simple country living in Georgia for the bright lights of Hollywood. With the fame and fortune from more than 150 million YouTube views, Michael, his grandma Mema, aunt Dee Dee, uncle “Big” John, and the rest of the clan are ready to take Hollywood by storm. The question is not whether they are ready for LA, but rather is LA ready for these outrageous Hollywood Hillbillies.”
The show even has an all-caring matriarch, Michael’s grandmother, who raised him when his parents were unable. He spoke about her as if she were an angel in the recent OK! Magazine:
“Mema is my everything. I lost my parents at a young age and my father was unable to cope, so Mema raised me. I could never begin to repay her for all she has doen for me. She keeps me in line--and I need it.”
You had better watch out Mama June.
