for many of the shows on the History Channel they advertise a service called History on demand to see past episodes - I have never tried that service so I can't speak to how it works
I watched the "Beaumont" episode last night. Now that I've watched 2 episodes, I'm back to my original thinking. I may watch future shows if I feel the need for some sort of "reality but-not-really" entertainment. I'd say it's on par with Ice Road Truckers and a few of those others.

I got through about half the Beaumont episode until I just found him too annoying. Anybody who works on cars (grinding welding etc) and has a hairdo like that has no common sense or is full of talk and has never done any actual work. Either way I don't need to watch him unless it is for the suspense as to when his head will catch on fire.

Nothing like the smell......of burning dreadlocks....
Didn't watch the latest episode... Too busy these days.
Don't really watch many of these shows anyhow, they are just "fluff"... so if I have nothing else goin on and it happens to be on the tv I'll give it a look...
tried watching this program last night, gave up!!! what a bunch of "Butchers & hackers" turned it off just after they started "RESTORING" [HA!!] the Dodge Power Wagon

I actually laugh that people are taking this show to heart/so seriously ... it's just goofy entertainment with a car resto theme. I view it that way.

Yes, same here Darryl... and I don't understand the obsession with his hair. Kind reminds me of Easy Rider..."cut your hair boy"...
It's not a documentary guys, it's just entertainment... and you don't have to watch it if it offends you.
For me the funniest thing about all this is that i have not seen a single episode as of yet. I kind of doubt i ever will because i am real tired of all these bogus "car" programs. In the past sometimes i even turn off the sound while looking at the cars on some of the other car programs. I have no patience for any kind of "Male Drama" nonsense. Cheers.

I totally agree with you Darryl. Compared to the other crappy shows on TV I find this a refreshing comedy involving cars. And to have seen Mike in action he isnt any different than normal there. I wouldnt take my car there for a resto but take it for what it is. I think we may well see some interesting cars over time.
