How does a faded Missouri family with the state's longest-running variety show recapture fame and America's heartland heart? By singing more, of course.

Imagine your standard Kardashian-style reality family drama with one uniquely insane, Smash-ing element: improvised music during confessionals. That's the approach truTV is taking to what the network is calling the "first-ever reality musical." Branson Famous is set behind the scenes at the Baldknobbers Jamboree in Branson, MO, and stars the Mabe family, who are employing every tactic available to cling to their legacy revue as it slips further into financial decline (and a "new sexy singer in town" definitely does not bode well either).

The series premieres on truTV in December and with it comes one of the most bizarre (yet strangely intriguing) concepts you'll see on TV this year. Below, check out EW's exclusive first look at the country-fried ambition that is Branson Famous
