$15,000

You turn into a sprinkler head of snot and tears whenever your boyfriend doesn’t call you for over two hours. Oh, that’s because Daddy didn’t love you.

Think your family’s got problems? Psh. Meet the Smith family. The numskull trailer-trash Texans put a hit out on Mom and throw their youngest daughter in bed with a murderer, and all end up in desperate need of emotional counseling.

Thursdays-Sundays. Starts: March 6. Continues through March 28, 2009
