Hope you have enough in the kitty to fix it up!

I also like that Wheeler Dealers doesn't try to sell me 100 products every show.

Gearz is okay...but every one I see he's doing something crazy (that'd be crazy expensive) and he never seems to actually complete any of the projects.  He is a definitely a car guy before a tv host.

I also like Search and Restore.  It's not the best "how to" show, but I love the positive message, even if I don't always like the car

Bet you dont remeber the show , my mother the car

Not exactly car shows, but the vehicles were the stars to me.
When I was very little it was supercar.
A little older I loved rat patrol and the original batmobile.
A little later I watched some dukes of hazzard, but I really tuned in to see barbara bach.
I like watching graveyard cars because it is the only mopar show I know of. Like everyone else I just wish they had a little more car stuff and less contrived drama.

I've always been a fan of the more practical car shows.  Unfortunately a lot of people don't watch them without some drama.  I don't watch Overhaulin' because to me it seems too contrived, with a forced deadline etc.  I do watch Power Block (Muscle Car, Trucks, Horsepower TV and Extreme 4x4) even though Mopars are rare they do offer occasional tips I find useful.  For entertainment the best is U.K. Top Gear and Wheeler Dealers.  Every car that comes in my shop is called a "Cracking Motor!" at least once.  I didn't like Fast and Loud at first but it grew on me.  There was a show on for a bit called South Beach Classics that seemed interesting.

I grew up watching Shadetree Mechanic and those guys got me to go out and believe I actually knew what I was doing when I worked on my car at a young age.

I don't have cable or dish so I don't get any of those.   I did see "Are You Faster Than a Redneck" when I was on vacation.  I did think that was pretty funny.

[cudazappa]

Top Gear UK is my favorite currently on.  They are all true petrol heads and love their reviews of exotics, dropping Ford Mondeos, and flipping Reliant Robins.

 I miss the old Hot Rod TV (which evolved to Horsepower) when the Chevelle guy was on, and especially miss Lou Santiago on Musclecar.

All the rest now I catch when I can.

[RzeroB]

I like Pass Time cause it's almost "interactive" where you can kind of play along.

I liked Pinks All Out too . It would always get me how Ken Herring (spelling??) would try and set the elimination ladder to eliminate the non-GM cars first. Loved that one episode (I think it was Indy) where despite Ken's best efforts a Duster and a Challenger made it an all Mopar final.

I`ll tell you a show i`m "NOT" a fan of! Texas car wars an episode is ending as I make this post. SO far I have watched some clown buy a motorless 70 Dart at auction do a quick restore and flip it which seems to be the MO of this show. This idiot was going to put a chevy 350 in it "cause he already had one at the shop", thankfully one of his employees talked him out of it plus the fact the Dart was setup for a BB.
Another garage doing a resto/flip on a Ford Ranchero these "craftsmen" were beating the frame in with a sledgehammer to make the steering box clear the motor!    Plus it has all the usual grab ass bull**** that all these shows seem to think we want! NOT IMPRESSED!

There is a new one called The Car Chasers on cnbc that I just found, more about flipping muscle cars but its kind of cool. I wish they could do a show about regular guys restoring cars without all the top tools and million dollar shop but I guess there probably would not be a big following.Graveyard cars is growing on me but why all the bs drama it makes Mark look like such an jerk.

Ya,that show is all about perfumed pigs-throwing a shiny paint job on a junkyard POS, get it running and driving and sell it for profit.
