Once they find out he has a master’s degree, they’ll turn on a dime and proclaim him a hypocrite and phony, who is conning the unwashed - us!
I never saw the show. I must catch it. For a year now, I’ve heard about it and actually thought it was a Christian cartoon like Davey and Goliath.
It is entertaining, if a bit predictable and corny... Rednecks making fun of redneckery, somewhat in the flavor of 'Dukes of Hazzard' in that vein, sans live-action heroism... The primary Christian component is the 'moral of the story', delivered as the family gathers around the table for dinner, with the old man saying grace over the meal. While the show is decidedly family and Christian friendly, it is delivered nonchalantly, in an understated, matter-of-fact way, with the focus being upon the nature of life, and the antics of the various characters.
To understand the position of the family, you might be better served to listen to Phil Robertson on YouTube (where he is easy to find). The deep convictions toward American Patriotism and Christianity are readily made apparent, from a man who speaks simply, directly, and with an eloquent yet coarse colloquialism very fitting to a backwoods believer. Excellent.
