I just saw a car "reality" show steal an exact story line from another car show. I know this stuff is all scripted but at least script something new...

In desert car kings they "accidentally" broke the back glass from an old Cuda because drama. They just did the exact same thing on this show I haven't seen before called highway to sell. If these reality shows continue there'll be a lot of Cuda owners with no rear glass...

I watch almost all these shows. Ya know, because cars. I haven't heard of this one.

My favorite is wheeler dealers. Makes me wanna work on cars, especially for a profit

The worst offender is Operation Repo.

99% of the crap they do on that "reality" show is blatantly illegal ( come on now, being in repo doesn't give you the right to break and enter, punch people, damage property, or the millions of other sketchy stuff they do ) and everything else is so fake that it hurts.

Like in one episode, they have a single person tip a smart (great, promoting vandalism; fantastic). As the car tips you can see a rig on the other side doing all the work (editing fail) so it looks like that one person is so easily tipping over the car themselves.

I've noticed trends like this lately. Shit, there's a whole "new" show that is basically Wheeler Dealers with a different name and asshole hosts who do nothing but yell at each other.

WOW I remember that Desert car kings episode. I really liked that show.

When will they realise it's about rhe the cars and not the drama. Hosts should be rated on their knowledge, not their ability to scream at each other.

I loved the builds but some of the storylines were rubbish.

Drama gets the views though apparently.

Indeed. If they would just do the damn builds and avoid the BS storylines.

I only watch them when I visit parents since I don't have all my gaming stuff set up.

Wheeler dealers is by far the best on TV, although I like roadkill a little more.

Thats dumb. I wouldnt mind the fakery if it was actually entertaining but most of the time it isnt.

It's a shame.

Haha I wouldn't be surprised if another had that storyline.

I don't have cable so I catch them while working. Haven't heard of road kill either. I'm missing so many now

I don't even have an aerial connection at my place. I have... certain means of getting tv shows I want.

Roadkill is on youtube and possibly one of the best car shows around. I'd highly reccomend it if you're looking for something to watch. The charger build up is probably the best episode.

You're missing out on so many things bro, start now and you might be able to catch up.

Tax The Rich, Roadkill, Project Binky, Harry's Garage, DIRT Everyday....Hot Rod Garage...

Youtube has a ton of things.

I was just talking to a buddy at work yesterday about how Fast and Loud would be a great show if they cut out the stupid ass "dream sequence" shit and chasing down "the hoff" to make an appearance and just built cars

Yep. Fast n loud actually has some of the more bearable characters because they have the personality to go with the drama. It does get way over the top sometimes though. Those clip show things they do sometimes are absolutely terrible.

I turned off the show when they started driving KITT to Vegas.

I refuse to watch misfit garage, that show is fucking horrible. Tom is still an idiot, and that one grumpy guy is still a dick.

I havent seen the KITT episode yet.

I couldnt bring myself to watch the spin off. Just the fact they managed to squeeze a spin off out of a car show made me laugh.

12/16/2014 at 12:43

they're trapping me into it. or TRYING to anyhow. A lot of them list as 2 hour long Fast N Loud, but it's really a 1 hour gas monkey 1 hour misfit combo show. DVR records both and I'm like, sweet a 2 hour GMG! NOPE fuck you tom, I'm still glad you got fired.

Haha I'm not surprised they're using misdirection to try and get people to watch it.

I only tried to intentionally watch it ONE TIME. And it was because they were planning to build a crazy rare Super Cobra Jet Torino, which if you know anything about me, would suck me in instantly. So the car was going to outweigh the idiots. Unfortunately, they sold the car without doing a damn thing to it on a quick flip (which they lied to the original owner, who bought it new, and said they'd rebuilt it to it's original glory).

I promptly turned it off.

I remember watching a car show because they were building a Chevelle SS. They ended up cutting the thing up pretty bad and ruining it.

ugh that's terrible.

I suppose it's possible I'd rather see that awesome SCJ Torino go to a group of potentially non-idiots. They probably would've wrecked it anyhow.
