I enjoy it as entertainment. I am not taking any notes on fab from them, but it is in my line up of car shows. I hope they don't get to the point where they hit you over the head with brands and it turns into an infomercial (I understand why companies do it, but it gets really old on shows like Gearz, Powerblock, etc). I feel like the TV folks don't always get it right for car guys, but they may bring in other demographics with the smooth talking and shenanigans. They are after ratings, not a high quality build and obviously they get people to tune in since they have a second season going.
I like when they go on the road and poke around for cars. I would love a show like American Pickers, but with a couple of guys that go look for barn finds. If you have the Velocity channel, Chasing Classic Cars and What's in the Barn are pretty cool shows. Not pro-touring, and usually not even muscle cars, but they find some really cool pieces from transportation history.
