Still the King debuts on CMT tonight at 9p and it is funny look at the life of a one hit wonder years after his song came out.
Vernon Brownmule (Billy Ray Cyrus) had a big hit 20 years ago and he’s still living that wacky Rock star lifestyle. Only problem is that he doesn’t have the money and most people don’t remember who he is. Even though, he isn’t any where near as famous, he still acts like he is. So much so, he gets drunk one night, crashes his car in to a Church’s sign and finds himself in jail.
When he finally gets out, he is put on probation and can’t leave Tennessee. Not only can’t he leave, he finds out that he owes 15 years of back child support to a daughter he never knew he had. To make matters worse, he has to do community service at the Church he damaged.
The Church has a new minister starting there, but the Congregation has never met him. When Vernon finds out how much they make, he pretends to be that Minister. He then recruits his former band member’s son Walt (Travis Nicholson) to be his right hand man and help get him out of trouble. Which will be most of the time. Each week, it gets crazier and crazier and funnier to watch him try to save his butt again.
What is Vernon doing with the money he is earning from the Congregation? He is using it to pay his back child support so he can get to know his daughter (Madison Iseman) and reconnect with her mother (Joey Lauren Adams). Neither woman wants anything to do with him.
Will that change? Will he change? We will just have to watch this hilarious show each week to find out.
If you are like me and love shows that depict the Rock star lifestyle as wild as you imagine it to be, then you are going to love this show as much as I do.
Almost as much as you love Vernon. Cyrus plays him so horribly and yet so lovable, you can’t help but to love him and the show.
