Southern Fried Stings
originally aired on truTV
The series consists of scripted "re-enactments" and videotaped in a cinéma vérité style. Ex-South Carolina state trooper Jay Russell and his "Jay Team" portray sting operations. Phil Mushnick of the New York Post has described the program as one of the "phony reality shows decorated with a phony premise" which, in his opinion, "infest" the truTV network.
