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

Tweet

I have been a serious motorhead since I was 10... 51 years ago! I love anything that can be customized or hopped up! It became my hobby, and my career, and I still can't seem to get enough! ....but I don't watch these shows because they just aren't meant for car people. It's more about unbelieveable drama, and the cars are just an excuse to build their phony script around.

The Foose program isn't as bad, because at least they put together something nice, but I have to confess that I think his designs all look alike, so after a few episodes, there isn't enough variety to keep me interested.

I believe that if one of these shows is going to make it long-term, they need to do popular builds in a somewhat unusual manner.... change it up every episode, so the projects seem "new".... spend a little time explaining how choices were made (engine type, wheel style, interior choices, paint color, and so on).... and maybe teach some skills along the way.

It's okay to write in a little "intelligent" humor, or maybe have the program culminate at an event, or poll enthusiasts to see what their response is to what they see, but if they don't replace the stupid unbelieveable outbursts, and phony "storyline", with some serious subject matter, they won't last one season.... or maybe even one episode.... with me.
