Thats funny, I feel the same way when I watch ABC, NBC and CBS News programs, and when reading the New York Times. Isnt it amazing that we all can feel the same thing yet watch something completely different!

Couldn't tell you. I really don't have time for tv much. I changed to AT&T last yr to save some $$ 'cos TWC wouldn't let me select and pay for a few channels only. Anyhow, since changing, I've watched very little and honestly don't know what's on what. I flip channels and saw the lineup for History and saw they had some decent programs, as does BBC America and others.

The tow co is based in the Wendell area and filming took place in Raleigh at Heads Tattoo parlour across from NCSU? and in Knightdale, Wendell areas from what I could tell. It's rough...a tough way to make a living!

Lizard Lick Towing and Recovery, LLC - Welcome to Lizard Lick's Favorite Repo Company! they also have a Twitter page.
Hmmmmmm ..... it looks as though this thread has been towed off the streets of Raleigh and into TV Land. Any chance we can get it out of impound and back where it belongs?

They aren't reenactments at all. It's all their friends that they ask to be on the show. It's scripted as in so and so will do x then y then z. The violence is at least partially real. Punches are being thrown and cutting legs on the door and blood is real. But, like someone else said, wrestling is scripted, too, but so are movies. It's all about entertainment.

Uhhhhh, no. They are all re-enactments. Go to the show's website and you'll see for yourself.

There is no way that was real - the shooting, the guy coming in and holding a gun to his head, the cable guy....no way. Maybe something "like" that happened in the past and they recreated it, but there is no way that wasnt acting.
