Product Description
Season one of SWAMP PEOPLE takes you on a journey to the bayous and swamplands of America's southern heartland to witness a group of people that live on the fringes of society. They are the swamp people, and their distinct culture has its roots in the early days of America's expansion westward. The descendants of moonshiners, immigrant railroad workers and early settlers, the swamp people have inherited a legacy of self-reliance and anti-establishment values that make them true American originals, hidden from the view of the mainstream. HISTORY follows these swampers through a time of year that is crucial to their survival: alligator hunting season. At its core, this is a uniquely American story of a proud and skillful people fighting to maintain an ancient way of life in a rapidly modernizing world, despite the many perils and trials that stand in their way.

Very happy I purchased Season 1, I originally started watching this show in season 2 out of curiosity. Season 2 was also excellent, so good that I chose to order season 1. It is an interesting look at how the locals earn a good portion of their yearly income. With out a doubt these are some of the toughest people on the planet, with an unquestionably dangerous job. The series is well produced. I find the featured characters intelligent, strong and very proud of their chosen way of life. Looking forward to season 3

This show is just awesome! All of the people are very personable and the show is filled with action. They have a very unique culture down in the bayou and kudos to The History Channel for bringing it to the rest of us. Now days it seems like TV networks just copy one another when it comes to creating reality shows and it get's old quick. At least The History Channel got original and it payed off, big time! I can't wait for season 2, I hope this show continues for a long time.

When I first saw the previews for this show I thought to myself that this would be a pretty neat show. Well I was blown away by how awesome it was and how intense it got. Maybe, Alligator hunting is not for everyone but the bonding a father and a son can have with each other can never be any better when your fishing or hunting and having to depend on each other each playing important roles. Being a country boy myself growing up hunting boars and spending time with the family is a bond that should never be broken.

I was born and raised in North Louisiana. I know that (as Texas Tourism Folks Like To Say) South Louisiana is whole other Country and a far cry from the red clay hills of North Louisiana but traveling the state with my parents during my youth gave me an opportunity to experience the cajun way of life.
Bottom Line.... This is a very entertaining series and certainly worth the price of the first season dvd's. For 11.00 you get ten episodes that will let you see what making a living from America's Largest Swamp is like. Thank You History Channel for making this program possible.
