I don't watch much TV, but I just saw a spot for some show called "Moonshiners".

Seriously? They're doing a show about illegal alcohol production? What the hell is next "Meth Lab Michelangelos"?

Think I'll just go back to not watching TV at all.

but doesn't give the ATF evidence they need to do their job? Come on now... are freepers that crazy about Obama in office that they don't even trust their corporate masters in the alcohol industry?

Like most reality shows this is probably heavily scripted and produced by the studio.... can anybody be that dumb give federal agencies easy evidence?

I watched it because I couldn't believe they'd have a show that showed people how to produce illegal alcohol, and of course they aren't. There's a whole lot of stuff on there that would get you killed if you tried it. Most of it by poisoning you, the rest by blowing up in your face.

after all how can the producers film this show knowing that laws are being broken. Aren't the producers aiding and abetting the commission of a felony?

when you check out the CBS Death Fetish lineup of CSI, Criminal Minds.......etc.

I'd rather ponder an illegal still than yet another scantily clad female getting autopsied while some deranged sick fuck is on the loose - the death cult of these shows is far more disgusting than corn likker. To moi.

YMMV
