Thread: New show Discovery Channel.......

Tweet

I wanted to hold my opinion so that I wasn't just being grumpy in not liking it. The show stunk. First off, it is a bad clone of Monster Garage (at least Jesse has talent) and they destroyed a really nice Model T for nothing. The end result was not only out of proportion, it was badly thrown together.

I know it's only TV and all that BS, but why can't the guys who produce these shows get beyond the mentality that stupid drama and tricks ruin what could be a good show otherwise. Even a show like Overhaulin' with a super talented guy like Chip Foose has to resort to tricks. Come on, the first second that one guy and the chick would show up as "cops" I would yell out "OH MAN< YOU GUYS ARE FROM OVERHAULIN'" Like nobody could spot them.

Dan and I sat up till 1 pm watching that show last night and it was only because it was like watching a train wreck, we couldn't look away. The next two episodes look REAL promising. They are going to convert a Suburban into a pothole filler, and the next week build a corn shucker popcorn popper out of some other car. OH JOY!

At least Rich wised up on PINKS and reinvented the show into something somewhat close to reality with not much drama.

So I vote NO on this latest one too.

I saw a posting on another forum this morning how they kept referring to the car as a '28 Model T...............and then it goes downhill from there. Glad I didn't waste any time on it. All this "reality" stuff must be made for mashed potato heads waiting for the next government directive on what to do. (hey, gotta maintain the curmudgeon image somehow)
