FUEL TV: Thrillbillies

FUEL TV ANNOUNCES NEW ACTION COMEDY SERIES “THRILLBILLIES”
Thrillbillies DVDs spin-off into new, original television series.
Series premieres March 29, 2009 at 8:00pm ET/PT.

FUEL TV, the 24/7 action sports lifestyle network, premieres the exciting new action comedy series “Thrillbillies” on March 29, 2009 at 8:00pm ET/PT. “Thrillbillies” features a bathtub brew of dimwitted dares and half-baked stunts. Watch as master Thrillbillies “Cam” and “Crum” attempt ill-fated feats such as the rocket-propelled toilet, while Thrillbillies-in-training demonstrate their skills on just about anything that moves.  
 
Inspired by the popular DVD of the same name, “Thrillbillies” is produced by Godfrey Entertainment for FUEL TV. The show stars Canadian Cam McQueen, a professional monster truck driver, and Aaron “Crum” Sauvage, a half-assed construction worker who looks for any excuse to be a slacker.
 
“Thrillbillies” never fails to amuse and abuse. These redneck friends are on a quest for the ultimate thrill, whether it’s launching a Big Wheel off a 100-foot cliff, jumping a Monster Truck in the sand dunes, or making a motocross track in, over, and through a chicken coop.
 
“‘Thrillbillies’ is pure comedy, and features some of the most outrageous stunts that this group has ever performed,” says Shon Tomlin, FUEL TV’s Vice President of Programming and Development. “If you’ve been a fan of Gregg Godfrey’s series of Travis Pastrana movies and television shows, then you’ll be excited to see more hi-jinx with the ‘Thrillbillies’ series!”
 
“We’re excited to be working with FUEL TV on this project and believe ‘Thrillbillies’ will be one of the most entertaining series ever shown on the network,” says Godfrey. “We’ve definitely put a redneck spin on action sports, which switches things up a bit.”
 
Look for the new season of “Thrillbillies” on FUEL TV beginning March 29. Original episodes premiere on Sunday nights at 8:00pm ET/PT and will re-air on Wednesday nights during FUEL TV’s Moto Mix programming block.

Ever wanted to see how fast you can go on a rocket powered toilet? Curious how big you can jump a big wheel? Darn right you do, and your not the only one. Which is why Thrillbillies prevail. A new season of redneck greatness is about to invade your TV starting March 29th. Surely not to disappoint, the new season will be bringing more "don't even think about doing this at home" action than your health insurance policy can cover.

Produced by Godfrey Entertainment for FUEL TV, Thrillbillies includes Gregg Godfrey, Jeremy Rawle, Cam McQueen, and Aaron "Crum" Sauvage. With a crew like this, relentless antics promise not to disappoint. A crew that is tough as nails and not afraid to step into the limelight or emergency room, whichever comes first. “‘Thrillbillies’ is a wild ride into the most amazing antics and stunts that this group of misfits has ever performed,” says Shon Tomlin, FUEL TV’s Vice President of Programming and Development. So tune in Sunday March 29th 8:00pm ET/PT and again on Wednesday nights during FUEL TV’s Moto Mix programming block for a whole new season of ill advised fun.
