Absolutely, we also watched the marathon first season before the new show last night - I love that family - what a great show. We live in the rural like they do (except in California not Louisiana) so I can totally relate to their lifestyle. I love that show. By the Way, yesterday evening after watching the show -went into the kitchen - looked out the window and here was a 400 lb black bear outside eating apples off my tree - that is how rural I am.
