I can't get the title song out of my head; it is simply hilarious. I've taught myself the song on the piano, and find myself singing it at work:) It's like the ultimate redneck anthem.
My dreams are all dead and buried... Sometimes I wish the sun would just explode. And when the good lord calls me to his kingdom, I'll take all ya sons of b**ches when I go.
Does anyone know who wrote it or sings it? The credits roll too fast at the end.
I love the expression on Earlie Cuyler's face while Junior is bouncing the truck up and down. Oh my lord, how did Earlie Cuyler manage to have relations with that beached whale of an ex-wife of his?

This show is great. I ran across it recently when visiting my parents in Texas. There was a late night marathon. BUT, I grew up in rural Arkansas and lived in Atlanta for a few years (sometimes spending weekends in the North Georgia Mountains). Really.
If people only knew how close to the truth this show is to the rural South, then they would be astounded. Sure, it's a tad excessive, but not too much. Take it from me-- I'm half Redneck on my Mama's side.
The "symbolism" of things throughout the South is rather amazing. I would have to assume that some or all of the creators are from somewhere in the region.
Good stuff.

Squidbillies continues in the adult swim tradition of non traditional animation and manages to set itself apart from its predecessors with excellent voice acting and a unique visual presentation. At first glance the show could be described as a dadaist representation of deep southern stereotypes but its actually much more. The often bizarre episodes have a common thread of continuity involving a father being rejoined with his abandoned son and their life as a dysfunctional family unit. Younger viewers might not understand the sardonic commentary on difficult subjects such as racism, crime, alcoholism, spousal abuse, single parenting, and relationships. These same viewers will most certainly not comprehend the references to popular rock bands of yore. There is plenty of juvenile humor to keep them laughing. All in all its a refreshing and sometimes inspired take on the American experience that doesn't pull any punches and never fails to entertain.
Just to let everyone know, you don't have to be of southern extract, deeply inbred or American to watch and truly appreciate this awesome show. Squidbillies is as socially indicative here in Australia as it is anywhere that there exists small pockets of humanity who seem a little isolated, rural and backwards (back-woods). They may not be classy but these characters are certainly a lot more honest and alive than the empty, plastic, user-friendly drones pumped out by the "so-called" sit-coms of today. The subtle nuances within each character are rendered to near-perfection from Earlys sardonic trucker caps to grannies mysteriously phallic droopy middle tentacle. The voice talent in Squidbillies is second to none. the writing is insanely funny, the wild, playful artwork complements it all beautifully. Sometimes true sophistication comes in truly crude packages and thankfully shows like Squidbillies, aqua teen, Kenny vs. Spenny and Trailer Park Boys exist amongst the mediocrity of reality television for the masses. With the late great Bill Hicks and George Carlin no longer with us, its shows like these that provide hope for the future voices of comedy and indeed humanity. greets to early, granny, and rusty from outback Australia.Now excuse me, i have got to go get me some of them chrome plated truck nuts for my truck-boat-truck. its muddin' time. Whooooo!
Please bring back Unknown Hinson or cancel the show!
JUST DO IT NOW.
Tracy Morgan is not the right voice actor for Early... in no way. WHO CAME UP WITH THIS IDEA!?
You kiled the best cartoon ever aired on tv all because of Hinson's remarks. That's got to be the dumbest reason ever to fire the best voice actor of all time on what was possibly the best show ever made for tv.

- TriviaThis show was heavily promoted on The Cartoon Network for months and was set to premiere on November 7, 2004. That night, the network announced the premiere of the show. But instead of the pilot, the network aired the pilot for Perfect Hair Forever (2004). Following that was a "special presentation" hosted by Space Ghost of Space Ghost Coast to Coast (1993) in which a panel discussed "Perfect Hair Forever." The panel included Meatwad of Aqua Teen Hunger Force (2000), Sharko of Sealab 2021 (2000) and Earlie Cuyler of "Squidbillies." Viewers thought that it had all been an elaborate prank by The Cartoon Network and that "Squidbillies" did not really exist. But it was later reported that the script had gone through numerous rewrites throughout 2004 and the writers became unsure about the pilot. Just a few weeks before the premiere date, the pilot was scrapped. The "talk show" segment was hastily put together just days before the premiere date to fill out the time slot. The show was retooled and finally premiered in 2005.
