Re: Series with Southern accent
As long as you don't care which southern accent, just watch college football. The color men almost always have some southern accent.

Re: Series with Southern accent
Unrelated, but I had to stop and Google what a 'color man' was in context of football. Very glad I did.

Re: Series with Southern accent
I feel like the less...ambiguous term he was looking for is "commentator".

Re: Series with Southern accent
Green Acres & Petticoat Junction are not set in "The South", they're more of a general rural setting, somewhere in the Midwest. IIRC, Chicago was the nearest big city.
A TV show with some good southern accents is Designing Women. Dixie Carter, Annie Potts & Delta Burke are all genuine southerners.
I grew up in California, but I spent a lot of summers with my father's parents who were from Louisiana. I lived in Connecticut for several years, and listened to Prairie Home Companion a lot. So people are always making wildly inaccurate guesses about where I'm from.
One more thing: For an authentic Loo-siyana accent try Justin Wilson, the Cajun Cook.Last edited by brionl; 2020-11-19 at 01:39 PM.

Re: Series with Southern accent
Because they are breaking the law?
I'm not privy to the specific rules and regulations of the various states with regards to the production, distribution and sale of alcohol.
But the show makes a big point of it. Every. Single. Episode.
I guess the various law enforcement agencies depicted in the show are all running around for the sheer heck of it.

Re: Series with Southern accent
Indeed. I grew up in Louisiana, and there were BIG differences between the standard Louisiana accent, a New Orleans accent, and a full Cajun accent. My first roommate in college was from Cajun country, and I had a hard time understanding him at first because he peppered his speech with Creole...and according to him, most of the people down there were worse. He had worked night shifts at the McDonald's drive through, and the proper response to a drunk Cajun coming through was to pick something at random off the menu and assume they wouldn't notice.

Re: Series with Southern accent
Another good place to go to hear more authentic accents might be to find some podcasts. I can't suggest any specifically that use southern accents, but podcasts of the "2-5 people talking about a thing they like" format tend to be run by enthusiastic amateurs who would presumably be using their authentic accents and general ways of speaking rather than something coached or trained. Maybe someone else here could suggest something specific.
