Obviously the "characters" in McCarthy like the attention the show attracts, and must know they are actually bringing to McCarthy exactly what Neil wants! C'mon guys!

Where's Season 3 at. Neil is making McCarthy into a tourist town. That's not what the residents want or they would've lived somewhere else.

Keeps me well entertained and cant wait for next episodes! The only problem is that the filming of this show is going to bring to this remote town exactly what the community members don't want - attention and more people.
