I've watched this show from the time it came out and I've noticed that it now just sucks and full of made up drama. I guess Tom got fired, but shows back up on Misfit Garage which Richard Rawlings is the executive producer. Then there's Demolition Theater sorry I'm not watching YouTube re-runs.

Fast and Loud has become a teenie bopper show for the kiddies. There's far too much play and stupid stuff now. Counting Cars was pretty good but it's kinda going the same way. Overhaulin' was the tops in my book. Garage Squad is fairly entertaining but it lacks a lot of the details in making a car what it is. Too much story line and not enough car work. Wheeler Dealers is still interesting as you never know what they're going to work on. If it has wheels, they will work on it. If you haven't seen it, it's out of Britain. A new one, Highway to Sell, shows a lot of promise about flipping cars. They've only had 6 episodes so far. If you have high speed internet, watch for free at any of these:

They all do it............go from a show that is mainly reality, to totally scripted garbage!

American Chopper, when it first started, was so interesting because it was mainly about the process of building the bikes. But then, it got popular........and the nitwitish producers wrecked that show.

I agree that most of them get lazy, and they end-up "creating" entertainment vs filming/editing enough to produce a good honest show.

I like "Restoration Garage", filmed in Bradford Ontario. It is home of "The Guild of Automotive Restorers", one of the largest names in restoration in North America.

Yeah when it went from building the bikes to the drama and fighting between Paul JR. and Paul SR. that stemmed from the new found fame and money Issues entered into the show.

I think point when the fame and money from the networks entered into the picture is where it not only ruined the show it pretty much ruined and broke up the whole Tuttle family.

Sometime I think some shops would of done better or been around longer if it were not for Discovery , History or TLC getting involved with them and trying to create Drama where there was none before and producers and the fame getting in the heads of the star(s) of the shows to help create that drama to try and make the show interesting.

The question really is are they really broke up or it was made to seem that way for that show?
