Admit it, after months of watching a chubby redneck child compete in beauty pageants and make sketti with her family, you've become accustomed to a certain level of culture in TV entertainment. Now that the first season on Honey Boo Boo is over you may be wondering what other shows would best compliment the remainder of that 2 gallon tub of cheese balls sitting on the kitchen counter.

Fortunately, Jackalope Ranch has scoured the bottom of the entertainment barrel for our top television picks this fall, because we too have an appreciation for low quality programming.

5. Duck Dynasty

Coming back for a second season, Duck Dynasty on A&E follows the lives of the Robertsons, a family that has made its millions off of Duck Commander, a sporting good company producing high-end duck calls and decoys made out of swamp wood. It's high-flying duck killing action complete with shirtless overalls, unkempt beards, and backwoods Louisiana finery. The season 2 premier aired October 10th at 10/9c but you can recap full episodes at aetv.com.

4. LOLwork

Yeah it seems oxymoronic, but this is actually a real job for some people, specifically those working in the Seattle-based office of I Can Has Cheezburger. Jumping on a ship that probably sailed about 4 years ago, the Bravo network takes you inside the corporate world of poor grammar and domestic pet memes. LOLwork premiers November 7 at 11/10c.

3. My Life is a Lifetime Movie

The only thing more depressing than watching a Lifetime movie, is admitting that your life is one. Grab the chardonnay and Kleenex, it's going to be a long night. My Life is a Lifetime Movie premiers October 17 at 10/9c on, what else, the Lifetime channel.

2. Breaking Amish Unfortunately this show has absolutely nothing to do with cooking meth or Amish people laying the WWE smack down with antique wooden chairs; but it does show what happens when four doe-eyed Amish folk (and one token Mennonite) are taken out of their horse and buggy bubble and exposed to the cold hard world of modern urbanites. Recap any early episodes you've missed by visiting TLC online. Breaking Amish airs Sundays at 10/9c.

1. Extreme Cheapskates

Making Extreme Couponing look like child's play, Extreme Cheapskates follows everyday people who follow outrageous measures to save money. Its basically penny pinching at a level of insanity that only people on Hoarders would understand. You can watch the series premier October 16th at 10pm on TLC, assuming you're not too cheap to pay for cable.
