If You Watch One Reality TV Show This Weekend, Make It 'The McBee Dynasty'
Cowboys and chaos


We reality TV folks like to wax poetic about the days of yore—when subjects bared it all on screen not because they wanted to increase sales for a functional cocktail MLM, but because they really didn't know any better. Today, reality stars will produce their own storylines, make Beyonce-level demands of production and work overtime on their image with publicity teams even before they get an official call sheet. But Peacock's The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys is a nod to ye' olde days of reality television—a simpler time, when subjects didn't quite realize what it meant to film your reality and the implications it could have. Here's what you need to know about the McBee Dynasty before you dive in yourself.
