* ''ComicStrip/{{Pogo}}'' leans more this way, although some of the Okeefenokee Swamp denizens are less than brilliant. Most of them are SweetHomeAlabama, with elements of TheDeepSouth every so often coming in.

Named after the song by Music/LynyrdSkynyrd. Not to be confused with the 2002 film ''Film/SweetHomeAlabama'', . Also has nothing to do with the internet's favorite [[MemeticMutation memetic]] [[ParentalIncest incest]] joke.

Not to be confused with the 2002 film ''Film/SweetHomeAlabama'', by which this trope and this film is named after the song by Music/LynyrdSkynyrd. Also has nothing to do with the internet's favorite [[MemeticMutation memetic]] [[ParentalIncest incest]] joke.

Whether white or black, the churches are usually Baptist or Pentecostal, which is to say this trope usually averts ChristianityIsCatholic.

* Joan Hess's Arkansas mysteries tend to be like this, as even the weirdos and idiots of Maggody are seldom anything worse than annoying.
* The planet Grayson in the ''Literature/HonorHarrington'' series is an entire planet of this, with a few aspects of Meiji Japan.

The DeepSouth in a (usually) more positive light. The Rural South in the United States is a land of [[GoodOlBoy honest, down-to-earth folks]], unlike the pretentious {{City Slicker}}s in New York or "New South" UsefulNotes/{{Atlanta}}.[[note]]As Atlanta has a significant Black population, trying to malign them in this manner may draw accusations of racism. Proceed not just with caution, but at your own risk.[[/note]] [[CloseKnitCommunity Some may have their little quirks, but everyone takes those in stride]]. When one wants to escape [[ViceCity the morally bankrupt superficiality of city life]] and get in touch with one's true self, the South is the place to go to.

* Although the program is never stated to be anywhere other than [[WhereTheHellIsSpringfield "Lake Hoohaw,"]] many of the characters of ''WesternAnimation/PBAndJOtter'' speak with a southern United States sort of accent and advocate a style of life that seems to match very closely with the best ideals of Southern hospitality. Additionally, much the show's music, particularly the instrumental cues, has a southern twang to it.

* The character of Wooderson from ''Dazed and Confused'' seems to inhabit this trope, although the rest of the film isn't particularly like this. (It's set in Austin, Texas.)

* Creator/DollyParton starred in the 1986 TV movie ''A Smoky Mountain Christmas'', where she was a country musician named Lorna Davis, [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed essentially a fictionalized version of herself]]. Disenchanted with the glitzy MTV videos she's being forced to shoot in Hollywood, Lorna goes back to her parents' old cabin in East Tennessee for the holidays and spends Christmas with (among others) some orphaned children and a "mountain man." This actually proves to be good for her career, as the Appalachian setting restores her creativity and inspires her to write a number of new songs.

* A variation can be seen in the "bro-country" and CountryRap genres, in which the rural South is portrayed as a non-stop [[WildTeenParty spring break party]] and the most awesome place in the world for a young man. Lyrics often involve [[OdeToIntoxication plentiful liquor]], gorgeous women in [[WhoWearsShortShorts tiny shorts]], [[PimpedOutCar big trucks with lift kits and off-road tires]], and hanging out with one's buddies (or getting laid) out by the lake under the moonlight.
