In my opinion.. I love all the Television shows about car restoration/rebuilding. However not all shows are created equal. Some of my gut feels are:
Blah Television
American Hot Rod (Discovery) - 2 Thumbs Down What a waste of time. After watching, I will NEVER buy Boyd stuff... these guys scare me.
Pimp my ride (MTV) - 1 Thumb Down All they do is Paint, Wheels, Stereos...No Engines or Suspension. All Glam...no Jam
OK Television
Monster Garage (Discovery) - No Thumbs Cool theme music... funny projects. Get rid of the midget.
American Thunder (Speed) - No Thumbs Cool music... pretty pictures. Not a lot of content.
Tuner Transformation (Speed) - No Thumbs Not bad TV if you are a Ricer... At least the show all the fabrication and work. (mostly bolt-ons)
Good Television
American Chopper (Discovery) - 1 Thumb Up (A least we see some fabrication work) They make me laugh... and they do decent work even though they send out most of it (fenders, motors, and paint)
Overhaulin' (TLC) - 1 Thumb Up They do really nice work, but we need to see more fabrication. The plots are a little hokey... but they try.
Dream Car Garage (Speed) - 1 Thumb Up I really like these guys... nice to watch in the garage.
Rides (TLC) - 2 Thumbs Up They are quite chatty, but lots of background information.
Biker Build Off (Discovery) - 2 Thumbs Up This is great television. We see lots of design and fabrication. Builder background info. I love it
Autorotica: Barrett-Jackson (Speed) - 2 Thumbs Up TV to drool for.... lovely cars
Have not watched Chop Cut Rebuild (Speed)... looks promising
HEY ABC... where is my Extreme Makeover - Car Edition!
Also I am waiting for ProTour Television (**Hint Hint Larry**) If you need a Reporter... Pick Me Pick Me. Paid to look at Cars... Heaven!
