Hollywood Hillbillies Season 1 Episode 1 Headed for Hollywood (Pilot)

The show Hollywood Hillbillies, which premiered on Reelz Channel, season 1 begins with its pilot episode named Headed for Hollywood. The premise of the show is to follow a family from rural Georgia as they move to Hollywood to pursue their dreams of fame and fortune. The lead member of this family is Michael Kittrell, who is also known as "The Angry Ginger."

Michael Kittrell, a 19-year-old, became an overnight success through his viral video rant, which he had uploaded on the internet after discovering that his favorite fast-food chain discontinued its menu item that he enjoyed. His rant video caught the attention of millions, and soon he had found himself becoming a sensation overnight. Michael's sudden fame led to a myriad of opportunities, and he decided to move to Hollywood along with his family to chase his dreams.

In the first episode, we get to know Michael's family members: his grandmother Mema, his aunt Dee Dee, and his uncle Johnny. Mema is the matriarch of the family and is always outspoken, entertaining, and authentically southern in her ways. Dee Dee and Johnny are Michael's confidants and usual partners-in-crime. Together, they embark on a journey from rural Georgia to Los Angeles in search of fortune, fame, and an opportunity to stay true to their roots.

As they start their journey, we see the family load up their RV with their belongings, including cooked meals, hunting equipment, and rural items that will help them have a piece of their home with them in Hollywood. The family drives down the road, encountering new places, diverse people, and environments, all while keeping their spirits high.

Once the family arrives in Hollywood, they realize that their dream of fame and fortune isn't that easy to achieve. Michael quickly understands that his viral success online isn't translating into opportunities in Los Angeles. The family faces various challenges as they navigate their way through a new world of glitz, glamour, and fame.

In peculiar yet humorous ways, the family struggles to cope with the new lifestyle in California. They start learning new things that they have never experienced before, such as practicing yoga, meeting with agents, and enjoying a night out at an upscale restaurant. While the family is intrigued by the new and exciting things they've never encountered, they still have moments where they miss the home they left behind.

As the episode progresses, we see the family engaging in various experiences that lead to funny and adventurous moments. Michael decides to make a music video to launch his career, and he recruits Dee Dee and Johnny to join him in the video shoot. Mema, however, is not fond of the idea and is more interested in chasing squirrels and birds, a favorite pastime of hers. We also get to see Michael audition for a role in a movie, and Dee Dee and Johnny try to navigate through the city for shooting the music video with Mema.

Throughout the episode, the humor and courtesies mostly come from Mema's sassy responses, which makes it an enjoyable experience for the viewers. Additionally, the rural essence of the family is quite charming and authentic, and viewers get to see the world through their unique perspective.

In the end, the family agrees that the road to success isn't as easy as they thought it would be, but they maintain their optimism and continue to accept whatever comes their way. The first episode of Hollywood Hillbillies is filled with warmth, humor, and light-hearted moments that make it an enjoyable experience. The show is an excellent watch for anyone looking for an entertaining reality show with a southern twist.
