Meet the Clampets! From the moment this All-American, countrified family rolls into the Hamptons in New York from Shreveport, La., they make their presence known immediately. It's the ultimate culture collision as the yokels mix it up with the locals. Even shopping for food is like an expedition in a foreign land. This rowdy bunch is going to show the international jet set vacation destination of the world a good ol' time -- full of laughs, zany antics and plenty of heart as the North and South become neighbors and really get to know each other.
After a "casual" meal in the Hamptons, the family realizes they aren't in Louisiana anymore. They decide to go all out and book a limo to take them to a winery for some wine tasting and a five-star dinner. But first the girls think it's a good idea to take some etiquette classes. The guys, who are an etiquette nightmare, are less than thrilled when they return from golfing (Clampet style) to see the ladies have prepared a dinner to put them to the test. The ladies also force their men to go shopping for appropriate fine dining clothes. The big night turns into a wild five-star debacle.
The family decides they want to throw a party to meet their neighbors and show the locals a little Southern hospitality. The guys go on a rocky fishing adventure to catch food for the party but run out of gas as Tommy gets seasick. Meanwhile the girls deliver invitations to the neighborhood and shop for "Hamptons" food. The Clampet clan shows the 'hood how they get'er done when it comes to cookin' coon, shooting bows and arrows and riding four wheelers. The Hamptons will never be the same again.
The family's dream vacation is interrupted when Hurricane Irene blows through the Hamptons. Faced with a big decision, the family remembers the seriousness of Katrina and reckons they can ride out Irene. Boarding up the house, stocking up on beer ... er ... hurricane supplies ... and hunkering down has never been so much fun. And, in the aftermath of what was described as a "historic hurricane," the family turns their lush backyard into their very own mud hole. When the neighbors arrive, it's only a matter of mud before these Northern neighbors are converted to the Clampets' Southern ways.
Jared and Doug go on a beer run but stumble upon local polo pros practicing the Hamptons' favorite sporting past time -- aka polo -- and decide it's time for the family to mount up for some lessons. They get their game faces on to demolish anyone who stands in the way of their Southern competitiveness. It's North verus South in a sport of kings grudge match.
Jared and Michelle must take a little road trip to meet wedding cake maker to the stars Sylvia Weinstock in New York City. The family decides to join them and loads up the RV for a trip to the Big Apple. They take in the sights, and their eyes are opened to a whole new world of busy streets and bright lights. The family takes a double-decker bus through the city, makes a visit to Lady Liberty and Times Square, a romantic boat ride for Tommy and Tammy, and even an off, off, off Broadway burlesque show.

The girls get motivated to adopt the Hamptons healthy living lifestyle in an effort to shape up for the up-coming wedding. They seem to lose their minds as they attempt to drag their men to yoga, tennis, and tea parties. But when a guru stops by, the guys decide to take matters into their own hands to win their women folk back with a redneck baptism.
Visiting family members from Louisiana arrive for Jared and Michelle's upcoming wedding, which is only days away. But these visitors are in for a surprise when they see how much their kin have changed as they're introduced to some of the finer things the family experienced during their summer vacation in the Hamptons. In true Clampet fashion, everyone knows how to get wild when the guys' bachelor party starts with a shark dive while the girls' bachelorette party takes to the bay in their own redneck booze cruise. It's time to get loud and make some trouble!
It's the big day we've all been waiting for -- Michelle and Jared's wedding. Everyone's here, from family visiting from back home, to just about everyone we've met throughout the summer.

The post-wedding reception is a genuine redneck party in the luxurious but conservative Hamptons.

While packing up their prized possessions for their 10-week vacation in Europe, we find out valuable nuggets of info since we last saw the Clampets: Michelle is pregnant and Tommy & Tammy are engaged. The Clampets take their first flight to their new vacation destination: a castle in England. Upon their arrival, the Clampets meet the castle staff, check out their rooms, and meet Roger Tempest, the aristocrat owner. But after dealing with an introduction to bad British food, an abundance of language barriers, and most horrifying, no bud light ... our family realizes they're not in Shreveport anymore.
As the family settles in, they find that living overseas is much tougher than they ever anticipated: between having major issues with the British food, awkward interactions with the butler and missing all the comforts of home -- TVs, ATVs, grills, etc. The family talks with Heath, the butler, who sets up some fun accommodations and excursions for them to try out, starting with a fly-fishing and falconry expedition. The butler also comes through with some deer heads, TVs, ATVs, electric scooters, fire pit, and grill for the gang. Now they'll finally be able to get a little more comfortable.
With everyone in England fired up about hosting the 2012 Olympics, the family decides to get in the Summer Games spirit. They decide to host some summer games of their own ... Redneck style.

The family brings it big with "redneck-ized" events like keg rolling, redneck rafting (canoeing down a homemade slip and slide), and a sheep patty shot put.

Along the way, Doug gets excited over a quick Internet search when he finds a cardboard regatta, a competition where teams race elaborate, homemade boats made out of cardboard.

They take to the podium to get to the bottom of a very serious issue -- the potholes on Route 5 in Shreveport.
