TRICK MY TRUCK (episode 22) - PREMIERE!
Five years ago, Rudy Briscoe, from Altus, Okla., was dealt a terrible blow; his youngest son, Brian, was diagnosed with cancer. At the time, Rudy and his family spent part of the year working in the harvesting business, and Rudy devoted the rest of the year to trucking. With the medical bills piling up due to chemo and surgeries, Rudy had to take on trucking full time. For two years, Brian’s cancer went into remission, and the Briscoe’s thought they were getting their lives back on track. Then, the unthinkable happened; Brian’s cancer came back. Now, as his eight year old son faces his toughest battle yet, Rudy works himself into the ground so Brian can get the best care possible. Tune in, as the Chrome Shop Mafia give father and son a truck based on their love of classic cars. Premieres Friday, March 16 at 8:30 p.m., ET/PT


COUNTRY FRIED HOME VIDEOS (episode 7) - PREMIERE!
What makes a home video “country fried”? It could be a belly flopping contest in a mud puddle; shot gun bowling in the backyard; or even the age old favorite, bobbing for trout. Comedian Bill Engvall hosts the second season of COUNTRY FRIED HOME VIDEOS, the series that shows what everyday Americans do for fun and 15 seconds of fame. Each half-hour episode has one video awarded with Engvall’s infamous “Here’s Your Sign” cash prize at the end of each show. Premieres Friday, March 16 at 9:00 p.m., ET/PT


KARAOKE DOKEY (episode 2) - PREMIERE!
CMT presents the new series, KARAOKE-DOKEY, a celebration of people who love country music. Hosted by Lance Smith (CMT TOP 20 COUNTDOWN) and Charla (CMT LOADED) KARAOKE-DOKEY episode 2 features four contestants who compete in a battle to see who does the best impersonation of country diva Shania Twain. These aspiring Shanias belt it out in front of a live audience and panel of judges, including comedienne Etta May (CMT COMEDY STAGE), Danielle Peck (Big Machine Recording Artist) and Hazel Smith (SOUTHERN FRIED FLICKS). In the end, only one will win the title of Karaoke-Dokey queen and earn bragging rights in honky-tonks and karaoke bars across America.
