just a little TV show rant

[blackblazer717]

I dont know if anyone else has watch the first two Episodes of Graveyard Carz on Velosity yet. But so far the productiin absolutely BLOWS! The last thing the Mopar community needs is another reality show!
Also the way the show is filmed and produced makes the shop look cometely in capable of doing anything actually related to cars. When everyone knows to pull off quality there isnt bs.
Just wanted to rant.... Thanks
Luke. Haha

This Show Is Like Dr. Phil Meets Desert Valley Junk Cars! Absolutely Sucks!:angryfire:

their is such a lack of MOPAR stuff on cable, that,
I still
watch it....but the guys are jerks! and
they show very little
"work" being done....
it just does not make make sense!!

it could be so cool, but the editing is bad!

also; Sonny thinks it bite the:upside down:

I haven't watched it yet but did record it. I saw the episode was titled 'pumpkin carving contest' which made me want to just delete it. Get on with mopar restos already.

The first episode sucking so bad, along with this pumpkin episode that I have lost all hope. Maybe they will turn it around.

I flipped back and forth on the "pumpkin" episode.....the only time I saw a car, ANY CAR, was a beat to sh*t Challenger sitting in a foot of water!

A complete waste of time

The 1st few episode were done/produced by the owner Mark & as you can see he's a strange duck, to say the least... Supposedly it was filmed in 2010 as you can see in the "stupid Pumpkin Carving episode", the date on the Pumpkin Carving flier was 10/29/2010, the 1st few episodes were done buy the owner Mark & not the Velocity Networks current production company, {according to people in the know on several forums, including some on here} it will supposedly get much better after the 1st few episodes, building the reality show characters type B.S., they have not done much on any cars or restoration work to speak of, maybe in the near future they will actually work on a car, 2 episodes in now, some B21 striping options on a Plum Crazy 70 RR & engine/trans. installation from the bottom side w/K member & suspension attached & very little else, it's not very good car show yet, too much character building reality show stuff... I will give it a couple more chances, it's the only show that will supposedly "eventually" show exclusively Mopar Restorations, I hope their restorations skills are far better than their acting or production skills are so far, I'm not very impressed with any of the shows characters, including the Owner Mark or his lame sense of humor & shop leadership... That's my 2 cents

I have to say I was pretty disappointed also..to much talking not enough car related material (more resto).... They have some great mopar to work on...Just do that.....

 

[milit73]

Yep it sucks so far but I will check it out a couple more times thinking it will get better if not it won't be around very long anyway.

I feel pretty much the same as everyone else. I will keep watching though. They obviously must be doing something right or else the shop wouldnt even exist. I think once they get rolling on that cuda that was in the water, things might get more interesting. That car is fubar, literally, 69redrunner thought it was a challenger. From the preview stuff i haveseen online, they try and save as much original sheetmetal as possible. Or in this case impossible. Its stuff like that i think will set this show apart from other half *** resto shows. Anyone see the new show "fast and loud"? Another show about another bunch of guys hammering cars out in a week just to make a quick buck. It kind of says alot about this country as a whole and why its in the trouble it is. Nobody gives a **** anymore. I think the graveyard cars guys do care, but enough of the baloney. Show me how that 70 RR got to the point that it did. Stopp standing around looking at a cuda sitting in 3 feet of water bitching about who and why. Turn of the f-ing pump. Get the f-ing car out of the water and show me what it really takes to build a car. Impress me!!

I like the show Fast & Load, they don't pretend to be anything they aren't, if you saw the last show, "they lost money", on the 52 Ford Gasser, had supposedly had like $21,000 in it & sold it for only $16,500 "I think it was" & made a few thousand on the 32 Pontiac they got for $8500 at a swap meet, they went down somewhere else in Texas, then towed it back to their shop, on a trailer, fuel costs & whatever on the road, then just got running, replaced fuel lines & hoses, then just really cleaned up, then sold it for $12,000, tidy profit there, both cars were sold at a "Mecum Houston", "I think", "at no reserve" auction sale... The purpose of being in business, "is making money quickly", so you can cover expenses & payroll, sitting on something & spending a ton of money on something to make a small profit isn't good business practices... I also have wondered the same thing why it seems, all the TV fab/car/bike shows have the premise of "get r' done", in a short unreasonable amount of time... I'm sure the production costs & keeping some more of the "less die hard" restoration people watching regularly & selling commercials etc., to pay for the show, is maybe better than, a long drawn out restoration, that seems like nothing is ever getting done, from week to week, would be boring as hell on a once a week TV show, to the less than die hard types, only the "true **** retentive or purest", kind of like me & some others here, would ever watch it probably... Well, Thats my thoughts anyway...

I attempted to watch that Graveyard Carz this morning and barely made it 10 minutes before I had to switch the channel. I just want to ask these guys what kind of cheese they wanted with their wine! What a bunch of little wining babies. Just work on the cars and shut up.
