“Swamp People” wins Best Redneck Series in Channel Guide’s 2012 Viewer’s Voice Awards

This is becoming an increasingly crowded category (and we even could have had an entire “Swamp” show category itself), but Swamp People — one of the original series devoted to following a subculture of folks living and working down in the bayou — remains your favorite. As the series aired its third season this year, it had some incredible ups and downs — from hitting the national stage in a “Swamperbowl” commercial during the Super Bowl, to experiencing the heartbreaking loss of star Mitchell Guist in May. Fans like you were there with them for all the highs and lows.

Best Redneck Series — Winner: Swamp People
