dose anyone watch roadkill

[irk_miller]

I don't take Roadkill too seriously.  Or most cable shows for that matter.  They're built for entertainment.  I like the personalities of the Roadkill guys.  They've done some fun stuff- some pretty ridiculous stuff- but not much I'd want to do myself.   

You wouldn't take their stepside with a ls into the desert to have mindless fun? Or rally a charger with a 440?

  You make a good point  .  I would do either and both. To say it better, I wouldn't build them that way myself, but I'd rag those toys out in a heartbeat.

This show was the bomb, one of my all time favorites. It was actually the original Top Gear, the American version was a newer copy.

Roadkill is great! Its pure entertainment, at that is what I love about it. I don't watch it to learn anything. Anyone who thinks that's what its for needs to lighten up.

i understand it's an entertainment show (unfortunately), but would it kill them to go into a little detail?   i mean the show is on the net w/no commercials, so they could make it longer than 30mins with no harm?    Would anyone object to this?   Would it take away from the entertainment aspect of the show?   Those two could remain goofy while still actually DESCRIBING what the heck they are doing.

Maybe they need to get like Mythbusters where you have the two main characters, but then you have other "mythbusterettes" who branch off into their own experiments.  And of course, on Mythbusters, they ACTUALLY EXPLAIN WHAT THEY ARE DOING IN DETAIL-----yet the show is still entertaining.

Go watch hot rod garage then. That's their other show that goes into detail.

You call hot rod garage detail?

i want you to watch "This Old House" on PBS or even "Hometime."   You can still get into detail, be entertaining AND do it all in a 1/2 hour.

Every car show sucks.   Congrats to any you tube poster who goes into detail.

P.S.
Most car people get off on discussing the technical aspects of mechanical concepts so really, if anything, i think talking about the nitty-gritty details would actually help the show.

I guess there isn't any convincing you otherwise. I should have known that someone who writes 10+ paragraph long posts would be less then enthusiastic about a show that is meant purely for entertainment and goes into no detail. I don't think Hot Rod Garage goes into much detail either, but it does more so then Roadkill.

mythbusters drives me crazy the way they start a project.  Then after two minutes jump to showing another project then back to the first one

Plus it would make a great 30 minute show.   Too much blah blah yip yap

If you actually listen to what they say and talk about you'd be surprised at what you can pick up from those guys. I've learned a few things because of that show.

i can't recall anything i've learned from that show.  i mean, why sell out?   i mean even 3-2-1 contact (remember that show was entertaining yet they (edited) explained things.  In fact that's actually where i first learned about how engines worked---remember the episode with the female motorcycle racer?

i like David Freiburger and Finnegan but they are not living up to their potential i'm sorry to say.....
