I mean very laughable some of them! There's nothing funnier than a Brit trying to sound American but missing the mark by a mile.

Actually, the American accent is a hodgepodge of accents. Even more hysterical, are Americans trying to sound British. Now that's cringe-worthy!!

I agree. American accents are pretty standard and easy to do.

Reenactments often feature horrible acting. And horrible acting often includes terrible accents. I think "Just A Wall Away" was the name of the episode about a woman who was stalked by a psychotic neighbor. I am still trying to figure out the neighbor's accent.

Most reenactment shows are taped on a shoestring budget so they can't afford to hire Meryl Streep.

I think it is hilarious when anyone who isn't southern tries to do a southern accent but especially people from out of the country. What can I say, I'm a native Texan and I hear southern accents all day every day lol. My son and dad make fun of my own accent LOL.

Oh, you said it! I'm a native Texan too, and cringe at some of the accents and slang that are scripted. The actors sound more like Arkansas and Tennessee than Texas and are given silly, outdated hillbilly names like Bobbie Sue, Sue Belle, Jim Bob.... Women quit wearing flour-sack dresses with ugly, clumpy men's shoes after the Great Depression, folks. City streets are paved, and not everyone in Texas drives a rusty pickup truck.

I HATE!!!! it when someone says "Pee-can" for "pecan." P'kawn is how we say it in West Texas! There is no e and there's a silent, invisible w.

Have you seen the show "Arranged" on FYI? The women on there claim all sorts of things are the custom in Texas and the south that ARE NOT. I want to bitch-slap the mother-in-law every time she opens her mouth.
