I was going to multi-quote, but realized everyone is on the same page here. Show definitely turned lame unfortunately. The attitudes and commercialization of the entire show was definitely detrimental to the success.

Sad, but like the old adage... “you reap what you sow”!

I'll hold off until the coloring book comes out. The paint jobs will look better.

Why is it coming back? They're bringing back Roseanne, they're bringing back Magnum, they're bringing back Lost in Space, they've ran out of fresh ideas, that's why it's coming back...

I'll watch the show only if they build something other than choppers.

Are you talking about them coming back with fresh shows to television? Or are you referencing the much advertised re-runs that are coming to the World Wide Web, accompanied with a fourteen day free trial? I believe y'all may be referring to the latter...

What if they made choppers instead of just choppers?

I watch American Pickers sometimes to see them find old bikes and there was a show on a few years back about bike barn finds that was pretty good. I’d personally rather see a show like than than guys building show bikes.
