My rating: 10/10

Will I watch it again?  Constantly.

This has been one of my favorite shows since the beginning.  I'd about say it's my favorite.  I was hooked from the first couple of episodes and it's remarkable that the high quality has continued for ten seasons already.  The show is only about ten minutes long so you're in and out pretty fast but the laughs per minute are high.  So far there are 104 episodes and that makes for more than 17 hours of funny with more to come.  The voice work is exceptional.  All of the main characters are hilarious and if there's one fault, you don't get to spend enough time with the secondary characters like Aunt Lil and Krystal.  I wish all of them could be in every episode.  The music is great and so are the occasional songs.  There's an awful lot of talent working on this show and I couldn't be more thankful.  I've bought all of the DVDs but there's very little else in the way of merchandise and I can't tell you how much that stinks.  I've got a fistful of cash with no one to trade Squidbillies shit for it.  I've seen Unknown Hinson in concert twice (man, does that guy put on an amazing show!) and Dana Snyder (I had him sign my homemade Squidbillies flask) at a Comic Con but that's it.  I'd LOVE to meet the rest of the cast.  I just hope they know how much people like me appreciate the work they do.  It's not a show for most people for for those who like it, they fuckin' love the shit out of it.

Season 11 starts October 15, 2017 bay-beeee!  Woo!
