Anyone else watch/like this show? I generally dislike Texas and people from Texas but I like this show and the main characters even if they are a little over the top. Richard Rawlings is quick witted and entertaining and I dig his sense of humor. It's a fun show.

Yeah, I like the show...they have a certain charisma.

Not sure why have a pre-preemptive hate on TX. I don't think we have a right to based on the ridiculous state we come from.

It's amazing what happens when you turn off the bigotry for a bit.

I like it, I don't agree with them feeling the need to "lower" so many cars like the T-bird, to make it look "cool" you've created a vehicle that will bottom out on potholes and struggle with speed-bumps, other than that I do like it overall though.

Kaufman has a decent eye and some significant skill. The Falcon project was a masterpiece. Rawlings is entertaining, if a bit over the top. Really would love to see Sue kick RR in the nuts at least once. Getting rid of Tom Smith was a mistake, the guy was funny.

Yeah except most everyone thinks it's OK to hate on Californians and New Yorkers, particularly Texans...

As a famous black man once said ... can't we all just get along????

As to the show ... it is interesting to see a show like this where they frequently lose money, this you don't see too often though you know it happens to most any shop like this...

I wish they had just presented it as what it was, Dennis hiring them to build a supercar out of a wreck. The whole fake drama bullshit felt like the ghost of Boyd Coddington.

Yeah, it is pretty obvious when the drama is fake. Stick to Richard acting like a lunatic, asking where his beer assistant is and the guys making shitty cars cool.

The only saving grace is usually you can tell in the first 10 if its going to be pure car awesome or fake drama shit.

Dish pissed me off lately. I have my DVR set to record new episodes and it's recording old episodes as they were new.
Like the show too. Also like the Vegas version but I don't like horny mike.

I have the same issue with TWC. EPG sucks since Zap2it got out of the game.

It's probably because it's been syndicated to Velocity, so for that station it's a "new" episode.

I watched it since they first aired the original season.

It's a good show, but make sure you have time to continue watching episodes, I normally record a month and then watch them all at once.

I never missed an episode :).

I'm having the new issue thing on DirecTV with my DVR. I like the show, but in some situations I can immediately tell they are going to lose a lot of money.
