Plot
Ronnie Dobbs, a
redneck petty criminal whose scams were caught on tape by a
Cops-like television show called
Fuzz, is noticed by failing
infomercial personality/inventor Terry Twillstein (
Bob Odenkirk), who sees Dobbs's popularity with lowbrow viewers. He promotes the idea to television executives for a show, "Ronnie Dobbs Gets Arrested" in which he is arrested in a different city each week. The show becomes phenomenally successful, making Dobbs rich and famous and changing his life dramatically.
