The show MOONSHINERS IS SCRIPTED and

Have actors.

I've noticed this lately. First off that tickle guy losses his accent every now and then. They had an episode the other week where the guys who claim to be from the mountains on West Virginia and North Carolina said they have never heard of sourgum. Anyone from the mountains or even with just immediate family raised in the mountains knows what sourgum is.

Also the show sticks to that same ple b.s stereotype that everyone from Appalachia is backwoods and wears bibbed overalls all the time.. complete nonsense

It's still an entertaining show. Especially master distiller.
