Chrisley Knows Best

This is the best "family" reality series since Honey Boo Boo or even The Osbournes from several centuries ago. [31 Mar 2014]

The dialogue may or may not be scripted (you decide--I have), but it sure is colorful enough for Al Capp to have written.

There’s an underlying smirk to the proceedings, something the producers appear happy enough to exploit.

If you can get past the canned lines and sub-sitcom story lines, the Chrisley crew can be fun.

The first two half-hours drive home just how set up every conceivable beat of Chrisley is, concocting situations to provide Todd Chrisley--the perpetually exasperated, catchphrase-spouting, appearance-obsessed Southern family patriarch--opportunities to roll his eyes and assert his authority.
