SLEDNECKS CANCELLED

So, the news broke over Twitter last night that MTV’s Slednecks, which ranked at #5 on our Top 10 Worst Reality Shows of 2014 list, was not renewed for a second season. Apparently, Americans easily realized that it was a rip-off of Buckwild. The show premiered on October 30th, and its lone season consisted of 18 episodes, with the finale airing two weeks ago. Reality TV Guide wasn’t the only site that came down hard on Slednecks. The Guardian referred to it as “Jersey Shore on ice”, Washington Post called out MTV for learning nothing after Buckwild, Common Sense Media said that it “sends a distorted message about what people who live in Alaska are like and the activities they routinely engage in”, and NY Daily News said it offered “too many forced TV dramas that are lukewarm at any temperature.” While MTV has yet to comment, the cast of Slednecks posted tweets on the cancellation.

Fans are already creating petitions to save Slednecks, and some have even suggested that it moves to another network. Sorry, but CMT already has a Party Down South.
