Plot Synopsis

SMALL TOWN THROWDOWN is a one-hour reality series that follows comedian Mo Mandel, who is on a mission to find out by trekking across America to visit the places with the worst reputations. Mo isn't afraid to take on some of these town's most unique activities -- even if he has no idea what he's doing in the process. In Lubbock, Texas, named "The Most Boring Town in America," Mo learns about the competitive intercollegiate sport of "meat judging" and attempts to keep up with the students at Texas Tech, who've earned multiple national championships. In Appleton, Wis., named "The Drunkest Town," Mo meets with the locals to see if there is more to the place than its plentiful pubs, saloons and breweries. Mo takes a plunge into some of the town's special traditions and looks at whether it deserves such a seedy reputation. Mo is setting out to prove what each town is truly all about -- putting himself in the very shoes of those who live there, even if he makes a fool of himself in the process.

In the series opener, "The Most Boring and The Drunkest," in a quest to redeem towns with notorious reputations, comedian host Mo Mandel travels to the most boring town and drunkest town in America to see if they actually deserve their infamous monikers.
