Trailer Trash
The best things on TV are sometimes stumbled upon by their creators and by us the viewers. My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding has to be the best thing on television since I don't know what.
My jaw is still sore from dropping at the Misogyny, Inappropriate dancing, myopic outlooks and general lifestyle of these seemingly harmless people.

It is absolutely brilliant TV and makes Outrageous Fortune look like Upstairs and Downstairs.
Take the tackiest thing you can imagine, double it and then add some more glitter spray and fake tan just for a final flourish and you are getting close.
