SpeedTV/Speedvision; who hates it now?

[CamoDeafie]

well. they lost me as a regular viewer.....if its not NASCAR, Monster trucks, or motorcycle races, its 30 minute tv shows with 15 minutes of endorsements, 10 minutes of commercial breaks, and 5 minutes of actual content......

I miss the days when they would run the World Rally Championship races, the SCCA races, both Showroom Stock and GT series; the ALMS series....nowadays its all about NASCAR, Monster trucks, and motorcycles with the hours of endorsements and commercials put in there..... sure PassTime is a good way to waste time....and guess and learn about stuff, Pinks is meh after they abolished the "bring your car and bet $500, lose the car or win the other guy's car" dealio....

Two guys garage has definitely taken a turn for the worse, as well as pinks, since they never race for that anymore

 

[WeSS]

lol

What are you talking about? You mean zmax channel? I don't recall seeing any shows about 2 guys garage or racing. I just remember hearing hours of zmax, zmax, zmax.

two guys garage went down hill years ago. My classic car sucks anymore. The Low Life must have got canceled, I miss seeing Mrs.Guerra's ass The only car show I watch anymore is the powerblock on spike and every once in a while when I'm bored I'll watch barret jackson when its on. What happened to all the good car shows on tv?

 

[NASSTY]

Gearz and Passtime are about the only shows worth watching on Speed.

 

[TurboTnZ06]

Yeah, Gearz, passtime and spiketv powerblock are the only shows worth watching.

Hdnet has some good car shows. I like chasing classic cars and se few others over there. Used to be a huge fan of NASCAR from youth to about 10 years ago. For some reason I have lost all interest in it. They have turned speed into nascarvision, which I could care less about NASCAR so I don't watch. Pinks has gotten old too. Rich is a tool...he just pisses me off lol. After that show gave my friends over at banana racing the shaft at Indy so they could get a mopar to abvance over a Buick....I have lost all respect for that show.

 

[TurboBuRick]

Yea and what the hell happed to Dream Car Garage?

I remember an episode where they did some type of rust prevention spray to a GN. They were going to drive it through the winter then bring it back and inspect in another episode.

Never happened. :frown: The show just disappeared.

 

[PLAINWHITE T]

Yeah, Gearz, passtime and spiketv powerblock are the only shows worth watching.

Agreed...seems like Gearz really gets a lousy time slot though. I usually have to DVR it.

 

[usetaboost]

American muscle car was another good one. Used to watch that all the time.

 

[PLAINWHITE T]

American muscle car was another good one. Used to watch that all the time.

I forgot about that one...that was good! I'm glad Courtney Hansen is still on powerblock though. :biggrin:

 

[usetaboost]

Remember that one hour long episode of American Muscle Car when they tested a bunch of the different muscle cars. I think they got them from some car museum, can't remember the name. THe big block chevelle beat the hemi-LOL! THe 429 boss mustang mopped the floor with all of them. I think it would have been a bit different if they would have had a zl1 camaro on the show also, which I thought was weird. Can't really consider it a fair test with a bunch of heavy A bodies.

Passtime is awesome its real racing instead of that bracket crap that pinks pulls and you never see a 12 sec braacket....It is damn near 10s or fast and sometimes 11s at most.

I miss the rally races and dakar rallys...I love watching racing and they less of it and ton more of monster trucks.

 

[novaderrik]

yeah, other than ALMS, British Touring cars, Aussie V8 Super cars, AMA motocross, Formula 1, Pinks, FIA World Touring Car, FIM Super Bikes, German Touring Cars, GP2, IHRA drag racing, Moto GP, Targa Newfoundland, Ultimate Street Car Invitational, and the World of Outlaws all they ever show as far as racing is concerned is NASCAR. a couple of weekends ago, i thought i watched some snowmobile and swamp buggy racing on SPEED, too, but it's obvious that i was only dreaming.
they really need to cover more forms of motorsports.

 

[xtremexnyc]

Everytime I switch to that channel it's Monster Jam. I like watching Gearz. Past shows were much better than now.

 

[GNBRETT]

NASCAR, Monster trucks= BORING

 

[SS/GN]

NASCAR, Monster trucks= BORING

X2
Nascar is no longer the Great American race,heck they all look the same without the body wraps.:frown:Toyota with a Dodge engineThats what is nice about the net look at what you want when you want:wink:They should call it The lack of Speed Channel
