INSIDE EDITION finds out what happens when the country boys from Moonshiners go around New York City.

The TV series Moonshiners, which airs on Tuesdays on the Discovery Channel, is the latest hit in an explosion of shows dubbed “Redneck TV,” such as Duck Dynasty, Hillbilly Handfishin' and Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.
INSIDE EDITION caught up with the moonshiners way out of their element at the crossroads of the world—New York's Times Square.

The folksy moonshiners seemed to be looking forward to getting back home to Virginia after their big day in the big city.
