I hate reality TV where it feels like scripted bullcrap. Aside from having some cool bikes, American Chopper is as bad as Jersey Shore or Survivor or Toddlers and Tiaras as far as I'm concerned.

No way! They really looked like they hated each other when they had the dueling bike competitions.

I think their bikes are ugly and grossly over-priced.
I actually liked the first season of Jesey Shore but after that, the remain seasons are horrible and obviously scripted. They are as scripted as that Gene Simmons show.
Survivor is an AWESOME show, last season was boring but it's usually quite good and NOT scripted.
I love reality TV. My favourite shows are Survivor, whatever Gordon Ramsay is doing, and Ultimate Fighter. But they are hit and miss depending who is on the season.

Seriously they blew all the money?
Yeah the first couple of seasons were great. I thought the show was gone after a few years and then I saw the Senior vrs Junior 'face off' shows and there were a few good ones. Now this? lol
If Vinny is part of the new show then it's got to be a fix, he seemed to hate Senior more than junior!

The bikes apparently handle like shit and are really just supposed to be show bikes like they usually make. Not sure why anybody would want to ride one of those damn things.

Pretty much all choppers handle like shit. A lot of them are barely ridable.

I thought it was funny when Paul Jr. said he hasn't riden a bike in 7 months, all the while building them though. These guys are so fake.

Well, I don't think Senior accepts that Junior has all the talent in the family. At least Junior designs and actually builds his bikes, Senior doesn't do anything but sign paychecks.
EDIT:
I just watched this first episode and wow, what a soap opera it has become. NOTHING at all to do with building bikes or working. IT's all social and problems and hurt feelings ...

i think thats when i started disliking the show. mainly because of the type of people who watch it. complete. idiots.

Is Mikey still on the show? He was my favorite, way back when. I haven't watched that show in six years.

I used to think they were in California too, I even saw episodes where they had snow on the ground. I remember asking myself, I wonder if they're up in the mountains? But how cloud they grow Oranges?
