Boy, the car shows are really getting popular on TV these days, most of them on the Speed Channel, but ESPN and some others have shows too. What do you folks think of some of these shows? Here are some of the ones I watch and my opinions:
1) Pinks. It annoys me less than it used to, but the negotiating still gets to me and confuses me a little. I also would not be able to take another guy's car if I won, I would have to give it back to him unless he was a jerk during the racing.
2) Pinks All Out. Much better IMO. Most of the drama and bickering are gone from this show.
3) Livin' The Lowlife. I really like this show. The girl pretty much keeps it real, unlike the tuner shows where they hire some dumb blonde who asks stupid questions. I also like seeing the culture, which I didn't know a lot about.
4) Rides. It is back on the air (I think it was gone for a while) and I watched the first show I had seen for a while. Jay Leno and his cars were featured this week and it was interesting.
5) Overhaulin'. I haven't seen the new one but supposedly the Prank calls and stupid stuff are gone. Good! They say Chip didn't like the direction the Producers were taking the show and wanted it more real.
6) Pass Time: I kind of like this one. It is fun to see how close you come to the time they actually run. Plus, lots of the races originate at Bradenton Florida race track, so that is cool to see a place where I have been a few times.
So, what you y'all think about these shows and what are your favs?
