Shep Boykin Rose. Really? The state dog? No way this is real.

"After all, even the Yankees couldn't break through that well built blockade." And inside you'd find the most insipid, vacant, and excruciating boredom, interrupted only by peacock displays of completely unearned narcissism. Trailer parks are hugely more entertaining anyway.

Sounds like more old news, not sure how he can justify doing rails and partying his ass off as state treasurer? Southern Charm... sounds boring. I'd like to see him on Survivor with some other kooks.

Re: “Local Bravo reality show will star T-Rav, other 'Southern aristocracy'”

Yikes. One thing's for sure...no "real" Charlestonians would dare make an appearance on that show. I know my grandparents would be mortified at the thought. And @redheadinDixie, you're right...clichés and a bad script should be expected, probably some horrific southern accents too. Hopefully it won't last long enough to leave a mark.

Sigh. Have long thought our fair city a stellar candidate for "Top Chef Charleston". As reality shows go TC does have a more professional and polished aura. And it dovetails with Charleston culinary prowess.

What a bunch of tools these self-proclaimed ambassadors of the city must be.This is unbelievably annoying.

Re: “Local Bravo reality show will star T-Rav, other 'Southern aristocracy'”

Oh God, help us! It will be one cliché after another, thanks to some clueless Hollywood screenwriter. And are there any legit aristocratic Charleston families left on the Peninsula anyway? All my old high school friends have mostly fled the City thanks to increased property taxes and Joe Riley's ill-advised, seemingly endless "best practices urbanization" policies. The man thinks he's a city planner (hold on, I need to vomit).

Ok, vomited, feel better now.

For David above, about the only way to stop a Chas. snob (and there are such) is to do some genealogical research like my late Mom did, and casually drop that "your people" landed in VA circa 1630. (That would be a full 40 years before the Brits landed in Chas., most of which were probably riff raff). lmsao

Bravo will only be able to scratch the superficial surface of the "Old Guard". The deeper truth's Charleston's walled gardens hold could never be captured in a Reality show. After all, even the Yankees couldn't break through that well built blockade.

Will be fun to hatewatch but will probably bomb. Bravo reality shows that have tried a version outside Real Housewives have mostly stunk. The most recent being that dog of show, "Dallas's
most eligible" or whatever. Did not last long and neither will SC.

Re: “Why is this man so angry?”

Night after night I need to watch these videos and they get funnier every time I see them. Grandpa is the crazy relative I never had and Michael is the crazy brother who pulls pranks on him, it's classic slapstick for a modern-age society and he is the first in a long line of genuine entertainers. Grandpa is polarizing in nature as my friends and co-workers either love him or can't watch him at all. Grandpa's videos pick me up when I am feeling down and always bring laughter to my day. It would be amazing to meet him and shake his hand.

Re: “Why is this man so angry?”

Sweet Suicide (it's a band from Baltimore) loves AGP!!! We have been watching and laughing for a couple years now.

Re: “Why is this man so angry?”

I agree with you, CP. Let's glorify this obnoxious ill-tempered redneck asshole, Lord knows he's the role model I'd want for my kids, and we need a thousand more just like him to staighten out this tight-ass, Socialist, Liberal society we call the US of A.

Re: “Not even The Rock and Bruce Willis can save GI Joe: Retaliation”

They should have made a live action version of the 80's cartoon, with max gimmicky silliness. That would have been worth watching.

By the way, the above comment does double duty when applied to any Transformers movie too.

Re: “Why is this man so angry?”

AGP is the grandpa I always wanted. If your having a bad day just watch some of his videos and you will be laughing your ass off. The nair and lottery ticket videos are my favorite. YouTube wouldn't be the same without the worlds sweetest and craziest AGP!
