Should it bother me to wonder why they have to put subtitles on Swamp People?

Not near as much as it should bother me that I don't need 'em.
Bring enough beer and crawfish and we all speak the same language!

I lived in New Orleans for 30 years and still had to get my wife to interpret half the time.
You don't go "to your mother's house", you "go by your Mama's". You don't "go to the grocery store", you "go make groceries". If you're outside and you're thirsty, you get a drink out of the "hose pipe". After working outside you "warsh up in da zinc". If something is broken it's "no more good".

Would listening to old Jerry Clower comedy albums be like using the Rosetta Stone?

It always amuses us to see the subtitles, but I suppose there is a portion of the viewing population that cannot understand them.
