Swamp People: Season 2

Just a Louisianian Who Loves This Show
As a Louisiana native, this is hands-down one of the best reality shows that I've had the pleasure of watching. I have a soft spot for the Atchafalaya Basin, and have always enjoyed many aspects of Cajun culture.

What makes Swamp People stand apart from other shows is the terrific cast of characters, and the banter that takes place between them. Living in Southeast Louisiana means knowing someone who lives a stone's throw from a cast member, and can vouch for their authenticity. Conversations about Season 2 with locals will largely involve who their favorite hunter is, and it's never an easy decision (someone give the Guist Brothers their own show).

If I had any complaint about the show, it would be that there are a couple of scenes in Season 2 that are noticeably scripted. From T-Rex being dragged in the boat already tagged (S2E8), to Bruce falling in the water (S2E3), there are a few groan-worthy moments. But that been said, Swamp People is still a far cry from...

great to see on dvd but-
As happy as I am to se Swamp People on dvd I am actually disapointed with the final product. The shows itself are wonderful to watch but Im talking about the dvds themselves. Again as with the first season dvd there is no Play all feature included for watching the episodes.
And the really weird thing is- the bonus features on the dvds DO have a play all feature. You would think that the history channel would add a play all feature like that with such a popular show.
Overall the show is wonderfull to watch- I just wish that the History channel would finally start adding Play All features to their episodes as well as their bonus material

Shoot 'em! Shoot 'em!
I purchased both Season 1 & Season 2 of Swamp People. This series is one of those guilty pleasures that you enjoy watching (but may not always admit to!) My whole family is now hooked on Swamp People. The distinctive yell of, "Shoot 'em! Shoot 'em!" rings through my house whenever an episode is played. (Even my Dad gets into yelling!) Each of the Swampers has a very distinct personality and watching how the season progresses is entertaining. Who would've thought hunting alligators would be so interesting? The historical information about gator hunting & the cajun and swamp culture is well done. The History channel did a great job of showing the historical, cultural and economics aspects of life in the Swamp. I would recommend the series to anyone who likes hunting/fishing shows and quick-paced action. Just one episode & you'll be hooked!
