I agree with the original poster and most of the responses. It seems were all on the same page about most of the shows.

Top Gear BBC is still my favorite. Honest and hilarious. Supercars with Foust was good too. I enjoyed Chop Cut Rebuild because they weren't afraid to show when things didn't go right or when aftermarket parts didn't actually fit, although they weren't always perfect about that. Musclecars would occasionally have some decent fabrication tips and their mid-show reviews of old classics was interesting. It was frustrating though when they didn't finish their road-race fastback Mustang(not the red and black one they gave away). Rides had some good episodes, batting about .250. I like Chip Foose as a person and his idea to assist people with making their dreams come true, but I hated the way his show would just steal the car and not let the owner have input on how it was built. I'd love to know how many of the 'targets' were truly happy that their dream of restoring their own car was snatched away from them and done by somebody else. Not all of them I'm sure. Also, his show could easily give people the idea that it was easy to take a car completely apart and restore it. Bullrun has some fun scenes it and those don't always include cars. American Hot Rod was a disgrace. Horsepower TV is definitely an infomercial. Same with 2 Guys Garage. Unfortunately, these shows are very time-consuming and not cheap to make, and sometimes it's difficult to make it interesting enough to stay on the air as a series. TopGear is the only one I watch now, along with snippets on YouTube and sites like Lat-G.
