SERIES PREMIERE: Branson Famous - "Meet the Mabes" - Monday Dec. 29, at 10:00 p.m. (ET/PT)

Branson Famous, the first ever "reality musical," centers on the Mabe family, stars of the longest-running variety show in Branson, MO. With the backdrop of decades-old feuds, burning jealousies and sequined costume changes, the Mabe family takes their landmark legacy, The Baldknobbers Jamboree, very seriously.

Big hair is the name of the game in this first-ever reality musical where sequins rule and the drama is best served country fried and family style. Struggling to save their 55-year-old variety show, the premiere episode of Branson Famous finds the Mabe family auditioning new, youthful singers to help modernize their act.

The emotionally-charged auditions crescendo into drama-packed disputes, as Brandon Mabe and his crafty girlfriend, Megan, attempt to take over the family business from his unrelenting father and tough-as-nails mother. Throw in a blonde bombshell and a mystery investor, and watch the larger than life drama unfold ... and when words are not enough, they just might surprise you by breaking into song.
