Default American Chopper last night

OK, what did you think of the first show ?? My thoughts..... same old $hit. I should have known better, I was hoping for a "biker build off" type of show but I guess not..... oh well.

Be Safe JIM

I was gonna watch it but opted to bite my toenails instead. Sounds like I made the right choice.

I didn't catch it but I do feel that it was getting tired, and so (I think) to try and add some life back into it they have come up with the "Versus" thing.
Which appears to be a two location continuation of the same argument between pop and son.

From the trailers ..... it appears they have apparently also found a way to bring back Vinnie, who is (IMHO) the real talent between him and "Paul the nose Tuetul" and one of the most likable/entertaining characters on the show.

Hopefully he's getting commiserate coinage ......

But yeah ...... overall, waxing ice cubes is probably a better use of time .........

I suspect if the truth was known, it is all a big put on. I quit watching the show when it got to be more about them and less about the bikes.

I kinda thought the same thing but, if you recall their acting performance in "Wild Hogs", either their acting has gotton MUCH better or alot of what is currently going on is real.

Started to watch it and by the fifteen minute mark I changed the channel. One trend I did notice from the short time I watched. Senior did nothing but bash junior the whole time while junior was just going along buying a building etc.
