"reality" car shows

[TURBOTIMMER]

Turn & Burn, Desert Car Kings, Fat & Furious, blah blah blah.... Seems like they all have the same theme, slam it together before the "deadline" as cheap as possible, then brag about how much money they made from the cobbled up POS. "If you make it this fast from 0-100, I'll pay an extra $10k." Yeah right! I thought it was supposed to be reality TV. I used to look forward to watching shows about cars on Sunday mornings. Now its just a bunch of idiots with the same repetitive BS.

On the other hand, All Girls Garage, Car Fix, and the Power Nation shows are all still good. Some good info, and they at least pay some respect to those of us that don't drive brand Xers.

Sorry for the rant...

Graveyard Carz is another good one. Sure, they fart around the shop a lot but they deliver top shelf restorations. Plus, they're doing some interesting old Mopars which you don't often see anywhere else on TV or otherwise.

 

[TURBOTIMMER]

Agreed. By far my favorite show on velocity.

Good topic. I've always wondered myself what the quality of the end product is when they're always pressed for time and want to maximize profits. Doesn't seem to be a good combination for producing a quality product...But then again, it is reality tv so it can sometime be difficult to determine fact from fiction.

Graveyard Carz is one that appears to put out quality cars. I'm partial to 60's and early 70's mopars so I like the show but I could do without all the drama and the constant whining Mark does but I guess that's what sells these days...

Recently I've been getting into Full Custom Garage on MAVTV. No drama there. Just awesome metal fabrication work!

Full custom garage is my favorite. Ian is the Bob Ross of car shows. talented and no bs.

+1 on Full Custom. Not only is he primarily by himself, he works out of a regular old, backyard shop.

$30,000.00 for an engine swap.

The only "reality" car show I enjoy is Chasing Classic cars with Wayne carrini(sp?). No BS and I enjoy the unique cars he finds and I like learning about their unique history. Plus it's a "barn find" on almost every episode.

I don't get MAVTV. IN fact, never even heard of it.

 

[John Larkin]

Dang it, it is not on UVerse. Might have to see how to get it on the net. Never heard of it until now.

Loved Muscle Car, especially with Rick Bacon on it. Too much BS on graveyard cars, don't get MAVTV. Always enjoyed Wrecks to Riches

I hate the name but "Bitchin Rides" has some quality builds and minimal nonsense.

Agreed. Talented designer, very very nice cars.

Like Chasing Classic Cars with Wayne because they don't do the drama BS and I like learning about the obscure cars.

I can't watch the Powerblock stuff anymore because each show is a 22 minute commercial with 8 minutes of more actual commercials thrown in.

Graveyard Cars....I liked it at first because of the level of detail but the corny side stories and written in drama made me remove it from my DVR.

I do still enjoy watching the new episodes of Overhaulin, although now that they don't string the mark along and they take a month to do the cars (instead of a week) they could make the episode 2 full hours because they cut a lot out.

Any car show on CNBC (desert car kings, etc) is pretty bad.

Im kind of glad they are putting more shows out there but man, a lot of them I think are produced by non-car people.

If you like high dollar builds it might not be for you but in my opinion Roadkill is the best car reality show by far. It's done by 2 guys from Hot Rod magazine and it's on youtube.
