The pilot episode of Bayou Brethren was a major disappointment, the visual appeal of high-def hog shit having been overestimated by a network vice president who was summarily promoted to a more harmless position. The new network vice president in charge of the project felt the brothers needed a more esoteric vocation to distract from their unappealing personalities, a view shared by potential advertisers who had screened the off-putting pilot.
"The pilot episode of Bayou Brethren fell flat, with its visual effects being an overhyped attempt that disappointed viewers. The initial network vice president, who promoted the show, overestimated its appeal, leading to a reassignment."
"The new VP believed the brothers should have a more obscure job to divert attention from their unappealing personalities. This opinion was echoed by potential advertisers after reviewing the unenticing pilot."
