''Porter Ridge'' is a RealityShow that aired for one season in 2013-2014 on Discovery following the lives of Terry Porter, owner of Country Auto Parts, and his friends and family.

Tucked away in the rolling hills of Indiana, far from big city life, this isolated, tight-knit community lives by its own set of rules. The Ridge is a place where a guy can have a yard full of pet grizzly bears, use dynamite recreationally and hold family demolition derbies.

The code of life on the Ridge is simple: respect the Lord, love your family and watch each other's backs.

''Porter Ridge'' contains examples of:
* DonutMessWithACop: When Terry and Danny Bob fix a cop's car, they take it for a test drive to pick up coffee and donuts. Averted with the actual cop though, who doesn't eat donuts.
* DownInTheDumps: The series is set in a junkyard.
* EveryEpisodeEnding with Terry and co sitting around the campfire.
* [[BearyFriendly Everything's Better With Bears]]: Jeff "the Bear Man" is Terry's neighbour and keeps numerous bears in his house and garden.
* {{Malaproper}}: Terry.
* SeriousBusiness: The race in Episode 2.
* SitcomArchNemesis: Dog Killer Ridge, rival ridge to Porter Ridge, owned by the Sciscoe family. Terry's wife Connie is friends with Mrs Sciscoe.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Terry Porter hardly ever wears a shirt. When he does, it is usually undone to the waist. Lampshaded one rainy day:
-->'''Terry''': I hate it when it rains because I have to put on a shirt.
-->'''Danny Bob''': I love it when it rains because you have to put on a shirt.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Terry is ''petrified'' of them.
