American Chopper Cancelled

Is this page 4?

 I dont think OCC will go under. Paul Sr looks  like an idiot, but I think he has invested wisely and will keep  the shop going. What bothers me is  how he treated his sons. Jr might make it... but he needs to get back to  building bikes. He has no  formal education to do other design work. And  Mikey... well he just seems like a waste of DNA. Hope he can find something to do to make a living... he did seems to sweep floors well.

He had money before the shop started.  He has another company that builds gates or something like that.  Even if the shop were to somehow go under they'd be ok.

How I long for the days of 3 networks where shit like this wouldn't make it on TV.  

Okay maybe just ESPN

and SPEED

well I kinda like Golf also

Yes, welcome to Page 4!

And Mikey...is probably the smartest one of the lot of 'em, he knows how to play to the camera...he's the one that we'll probably see showing up on television somewhere else in the future (not saying that's good, just saying it'll likely happen).

The thing I guess I don't understand is that there were some pretty interesting bike buiding shows and yet the Teutels are the ones on the longest.  They used to run a show from Exile choppers where they would get guys off the street to design and build a bike to show quality in 30 days.  If they could do it, they kept the bike.  I really like that show and it was one of the first to go.  I guess there was just too much bike building for the average viewer.

...I guess there was just too much bike building for the average viewer.

You got it!  Ya gotta remember, the vast majority of the audience for these shows are NOT riders; they're not interested in the actual details of building a bike, they're interested in "drama," and the bikes are just kind of a nice backdrop (keep in mind, a lot of the audience actually likes the Teutel's bikes...).

[Warhammer]

I've looked all over the house, but I seem to be fresh out of givadamn! Good riddance to the Teutels and their "reality" crappy show.

Mikey is the reason that the show exists !   He was in a bar, happen to meet one of the producers and started about bikes and his family.......
And the rest, as they say, is history !

They needed more babes on that show, as it is, it was a brain-dead sausagefest.

OK maybe if there was an over abundance of T&A I might of watched it, but alas there was not and I did not watch
Crapy drama TV with asshats and A holes Nope needs lots of T&A to be a good TV show

Page 5?

[scarecrow]

People still watch TV? Why?

[chornbe]

Actually, yeah -- and anyone else who just had their income yanked out from under them by this move --

Meh, I guess... anyone working in that shop and for that show *had* to know it was a temporary gig. I'm surprised it lasted this long. The first season had some charm to it, but... beyond that, it was just annoying to watch.

Page 5?

For a show that everyone hates? We'll get 7 pages out of it.

Despite the derision, it's obvious that people have watched the show.

       Wasn't he  the one who set the bee's nest next to the shop on fire with gasoline? Yeah, that brought back a lot of memories.  It wasn't terribly compelling tv, but more of an interlude while channel surfing.  I'm sure those bikes rode excellently. How much distance is there between bars up there? I hope not too much.

I have to look at one of these bikes every day when I go to work. It was a great marketing move for my company, which sells to people who watch this sort of show, but as a rider I can't stand looking at the thing. It's not even very pretty or creative.

 And that perfectly sums up the entire series in one 10 minute episode  

[SteveG]

I watched it the first season.  The kid they had painting (Justin?  I think?) was amazing.  Just didn't ever really care for the bikes though.
