Somebody with big money did. ;) [thumbsup]
If you watched once, you helped pay. :D
I wish they'd do a show with more fabrication, and less drama. For "them" I mean, someone else but the OCC guys ;D
The first Jesse James shows on Discovery Channel, were actually more like that.

All of the Biker Build Off shows were like that. Apparently folks wanted drama. OCC brought that to the show.
this week Jr builds the honey boo boo bobber.
is mikey part of the new show? he's about the only reason to
waste time on it ... that and the temper tantrums.
anyone watched TV lately? All the "top" shows appear to be the degradation of humans. [cheeky]
That's why I like the show "Wheeler Dealers" on the velocity channel. They buy a fixer upper and rebuild it, showing the viewer how he can do the job and when not to, and there is no vitriol.
Wheeler dealers is one of my favorites. Ed is amazing. What bugs
Me is the salesman guy saying they made a bunch of money without
Including $10,000 of ed's time.

sounds like the opposite of "classic car rescue". it's the drama crap. I saw one about a mustang and sort of got into it until one of the main guys "dropped" the windscreen on the ground and smashed it and they had to go find another, dealing with the local loon, etc. except the screen that got "dropped" had a tinted band all around it and was the wrong shape and you could see him throw it.
is there really so little market for real info shows? it's just depressing.

That's a cool show.
The glossing over of the labor cost is a bit irritating.
And Ed drives me crazy doing all sorts of work, including power tools under the car, without glasses.
I can't fathom how he gets away with it.
ya, the cost of labor was left out, but the point was that there was was no artificial drama in the show.
i apologize for drifting into the car zone, butt Chasing Classic Cars is another that has fun mechanical stuff without bull sh!t artificial drama!

Wheeler Dealers is awesome. You should have seen the early episodes when he had even less tools, skill and they had zero budget. Rattle can paint jobs and 90% of the work done with a screwdriver, pliers and a hammer.

I miss the show on speed channel about 5 years ago I think called "build or bust". The owner of the shop is Russell (I think from Britain) excile cycles. It was a great show. The challenge was for a builder compete for a chance to build a bike. The builder has to pretty much fabricate and build a bike by himself in 30 days. If the bike started and met all the requirements, then the builder got to keep it.

Awesome cars and some cool mechanical stuff, but Wayne Corini's boring as hell! That grumpy old mechanic's awesome. They should give him a show.
so much cooler stuff happening in motorcycling that I wish they'd cover besides drama-fest OCC.
They could cover the invited builders to Born Free and have more material than they could use in 5 years than a year's worth of OCC bullshit.
