I agree, the show is pitiful, unfortunately, as long as whatever sponsers are footing the bills for the show (looks like Kuryakyn and Arlen Ness to me) continue to do so, I guess it will continue in its current format. The only thing we can do is vote with our remote controls and not watch it... which I have already done.

in all fairness, there were SOME segments that were OK, but not enough to make me sit thru the rest of the crap on the show. the way they kept bouncing around back and forth between the segments was distracting and sucked as far as I was concerned.. but it was probably aimed at some gen x-er with ADD who was raised on MTV and Xbox...

I'd much rather watch the episode where Barny buys the old army surplus Harley with the sidecar than American Thunder. Now that was a funny episode

Can not take credit for this but as duoglider noted in a similar thread about this show, we have to agree........

The show has gone down hill. It is very disappointing.

Yeah, I think this was discussed when the new show first started to air and it was unanimous that it sucked big-time. I DVR'd every one of the old ones with Michelle, but stopped looking at the new ones after two or three shows. I was hoping the producers would get the message by now. Can't imagine who would watch it now. What a waste.

I agree seems like they are a long commercial for kuyakyn and arlen ness plugging victory. Also a promo for alana grace and all her country singing 'kin'

Colby Donaldson is the Survivor "star" that hosts now...Hmmm...star is over-rated really as he lost in the finale...it seemed to be all commercials to me..as I whip through them on my DVR..must have been only 15 minutes of programming in there, what a waste of time it was...it's coming off my record list today...
