'Swamp People' Returns March 31st

[WyldeMan45]

Hell yeah, I love this show and am very much looking forward to the second season.

The cable TV network History says it has ordered a second season of "Swamp People," a reality series set in rural Louisiana.

The show is to return March 31.

The Season 1 premiere of "Swamp People" set a record as History's best original series debut in all key demographics with 4.2 million total viewers, the network said.

"Deep in southern Louisiana there are nearly 1 million acres of flooded forest, marshland and bayous unlike anyplace else in the United States," History noted in a synopsis Wednesday. "It's a hidden world, a place where nature still rules -- one of the least known territories in the United States. But a hardy breed of swamp people knows the secrets of this dangerous, mysterious territory. Most are Cajun descendants of French-speaking settlers who came from Canada in the 1700s -- and their way of life has been fundamentally the same for generations. Hunting, especially alligator hunting, remains a major source of their livelihood."

Yeah man, I love this show. I have a lot of family in southern Louisiana, and according to my dad Troy also owns one of the biggest crawfish farms in the world.

Troy seems the most genuine and friendly of all the hunters. I can't wait for season 2, this is one exciting show.

Will be checking this show out tomorrow night as I keep seeing previews every time I turn the TV on. Looks to be a good show and one of my first documentary type shows like this which is perfect to start with as I have started growing an interest in Louisiana and the swamps.

Oh yeah Detective, you've got to see Ax Men. Shelby "Swamp Man" Stanga is a Cajun nutjob but he is awesome. I am a huge fan of both shows, and absolutely loved season one of Swamp People I think I've seen it through 3 or 4 times now. It is a very interesting lifestyle these men lead. They aren't city slickers who decide to go hunting on the weekend, they live and die by the swamp. Everything they have and eat they believe the swamp will provide for them. So these are hardcore swampers.

I'm from Northern LA and it's amazing how different our part of the state is from Southern LA in terms of culture, religion, terrain, etc. Even Acadiana has regional cultures unique unto themselves. I lived in Southwest LA and it was like TX in many aspects. Average person seeing the show having never visited LA would most likely think we all lived like the people on the show and spoke with subtitles floating at our chests. The only thing we have in common is we all live in parishes. Matter of fact the only time I actually ran into true Cajuns was during Katrina and Rita when a lot of people evacuated up state.
I thoroughly enjoy the show. I watched the marathon the other day on History.

Oh yeah I fully understand how accents change drastically just miles apart, not to mention how different entire cultures are. Like I mentioned previously I've been all over and heard just about every accent there is and the Cajun's remind me of the first time I met a Brit I worked with, who had a very strong accent at first I couldn't understand really anything he are saying, but than within a few hours or days of being constantly exposed to it, I didn't really notice the accents anymore and I started fully understanding.

Not sure if people know or not but season 1 will be released on May 31st DVD only though.

I'm curious if Tommy will ever get any smarter. He made so many mistakes with the guns in the first season and it doesn't seem like he's improving at all in season 2 either. He's been doing this 20 years and repeatedly forgets to load his rifles. I am just amazed that he hasn't gotten anybody killed yet. He's a dumb bastard.

I really like the introduction of R.J. Molinere and Jay Paul. The arm wrestling competition was pretty damned good to. I haven't been to one in a long time, so It was fun to see again.

Bruce became my favorite hunter on the show last week, after he showed his undying love and devotion to his friend and boat mate Tyler. Anybody that loves their dog that much is a genuine and good hearted person.

Those two new Guist brothers sure are some swampbillies. They are hilarious characters and I love their home made boat and just how simple but fun they are. They definitely enjoy life and they have nothing but a run down shack and each other.

Oh poor Tyler!!!

'Swamp People' Star -- Bad Heart Threatens Career

The most beloved star of the hit reality show "Swamp People" is in danger of missing Season 3 after a serious heart condition almost took his life earlier this year.

It's not Troy ... or Trapper Joe ... or the badass Guist Brothers -- it's Bruce Mitchell's faithful sidekick Tyler ... the lovable gator hunting dog.

TMZ spoke to a rep for Bruce -- the guy who rocks the overalls and the American flag bandana -- who tells us Tyler was having "heart troubles" back in January ... and had to be rushed to the vet for emergency medical care.

We're told things got so bad "the dog almost died."

Luckily for Tyler, doctors were able to treat the illness ... and he's been resting at home and taking heart meds ever since.

The rep tells us Bruce is unsure if Tyler will be able to join him on the boat next season ... saying Bruce is "hopeful...but still not sure."
