Originally starting out as a side-project for Lagwagon guitarist/ vocalist Shawn Dewey, Buck Wild didn't stray too far from the sound of driving, melodic punk in which his full-time gig was know for; but the intentions remained as being just a party band, no pressure. Along with his friend Dave taking the up the drums, Buck Wild began with a number of line-up changes and a 1995 EP entitled Little Punch You In The Ear, courtesy of Lobster Records. Following their first full-length Beat Me Silly released the following year, Buck Wild became a serious band after Dewey's departure from Lagwagon; something in which gave BW time to tour Europe in 1997. Eventually settling down with Dave moving to guitar, Brian on drums and Thom on bass, the permanent line-up resulted in their second album Full Metal Overdrive in 1999, before calling it quits not long after it's release.

The cast of the show is a group of friends who recently finished high school. Media reports describe Buck Wild as having "a Jackass-like element," including depictions of "activities like mud racing, squirrel hunting and rope swinging."
MTV ordered 12 episodes from producer Zoo Productions, which expected to begin production in the spring of 2012 for airing in the summer or fall of 2012. Shooting locations are in Charleston and Sissonville, West Virginia.
The planned show has been criticized for propagating negative stereotypes of West Virginians. The state's film office has refused to authorize a tax credit for its production, citing a concern that it might portray the state "in a significantly derogatory manner."
