Celebreality shows were all the rage in the mid-2000s, and TLC delivered another one with "Tuckerville." The series focused on country music star Tanya Tucker, who scored her first hit at age 13, had a scandalous affair with Glenn Campbell, and had checked into the Betty Ford Center to address a pretty serious cocaine addiction. When her TLC series bowed in, Tucker was in her late 40s and attempting a career comeback. "Tuckerville" invited viewers into her home, with cameras following her as she ran her business, recorded a new album, and raised two kids.
Speaking with KSL at the time, Tucker was hopeful the show would show viewers a side of her other than the drugged-out hellraiser depicted in the media. "Maybe people will see this, and they'll understand me," she explained. "I have some of the same problems as everybody else, and maybe after this, they'll be able to relate to me a little better."
Ultimately, viewership was not as high as had been hoped, and "Tuckerville" wasn't renewed after its inaugural season. Tucker, however, was hopeful to restart the show with a new network — and a new name. "It's called 'Tuckertime' now. I almost have six shows ready to go. We are looking for another network," she told Reuters. Unfortunately, despite her best efforts, "Tuckertime" never did make it to television.
