When this show first started A&E would add bleeps in the dialog to make it sound like they were using bad language. Phil called A&E and had one of the producers fly down to Monroe. In the discussion he told the producer to stop editing the show to make them look like they were trash. The producer told him he couldn’t do anything because they had contracts. Phil told him that he might have contracts but he had lawyers and God on his side and the truth would come out.
A&E stopped the editing.
This man has never pretended to be anything other than what he is. It is time for people to stop being so offended about everything when they don’t like the message being said. If you don’t like the show or the people don’t watch it. I don’t watch the kardashians, jersey shore, or many of the other (what I consider trash TV) shows. That’s my choice. It’s also the choice of the TV channel to put on or take off whatever they want as a privately owned company.
If A&E is crazy enough to let the show go I am sure many other channels will be more than happy to jump right on in.
One other side note. Could all this be for show? Do you think the 14million + that watched the show last season will at least double or triple in January? No matter what happens Phil and A&E are gonna clean up this spring with some big $$$.
