What are your best and worst shows on Motor Trend TV? Roadkill is my favorite and Two Guys Garage is my worst.

Love Roadkill and Roadkill Garage. Also a fan of Hot Rod Garage and Engine Masters. Don't really watch any of the others.

I like to watch Graveyard Cars, Junkyard Gold, Fantom Works (I know, I know), Wayne Carini, Restoration Garage, My Classic Car, and others.

Least favorites: Two Guys Garage, Bitchin Rides, and All Girls Garage.

TGG, That Willie B guy just annoys me. Plus that show is just about selling a product.

I like Graveyard Cars, but hardly ever see it on there.
Roadkill stuff is good.
Like some of the old Overhaulin shows
Garage Squad is pretty good
Phantom Works is ok.

Don't watch the guys from Canada - Restoration Garage?
Don't watch Wayne the car flipper.
Don't like the Gas Monkey guy either even though it's not on that channel.
Bitchin Rides has gotten boring due to the Pro Touring theme they keep doing over and over.

Yes, I also will watch almost any Overhaulin'. I think Chip Foose is the real deal and kept the work to a high quality. I tolerate Chris so I can see the show.

Yeah, Wayne is a flipper I guess you could say, and I don't even love the cars he usually deals with, but he's so anti-drama I find it enjoyable.

I can't take the All Girls Garage because they act like giggly 13 year olds.

I watch graveyard carz and the roadkill shows. Watched faster with Finnegan on youtube.
Restoration garage hasn't had many new episodes in a while.
I like some of chasing classic cars but can't take some of the Amelia and other shows they focus on so much. Mostly a bunch of stuck up rich people showing off what they bought or paid someone to do.

I doubt he'd go back as he left to spend more time with his family, he has pretty much checked out of the motor trend shows, even roadkill he just shows up from the airport and barely participates or has any idea whats going on. He wont be there much longer I am guessing

I record some of them, and never watch them on first airing. Then I fast forward through most of them when the drama and or BS starts to get too heavy. Ends up most of them average about 10 minutes or less of viewable content wink laugh2

Haha very true. Same here.

I tried to watch Holden Brothers (I think that's the name). The two guys with their cute little matching shorts frown

I can't deal with it much, just once in awhile. You could play a drinking game to this one, every time one of them says "dude" and anybody would be hammered at the end.

Pretty much my list but I would add Iron Resurrection.

I used to watch Roadworthy Rescue but for some reason have not for a while.

Dereck raffling off $5000 junkers while making a quarter million in merch sales has me not watching anything from him anymore, for a supposed low buck guy he sure as heck is money hungry, wow

Other guys with small channels (in comparison) raffle away 8 second show cars. Dereck raffles junk duster with freebie seat covers, a used motor and canola oil wax job. Or a stock 80's Regal with Nascar paint scheme, garbage. The other guys every $5.00 spent on merch is one entry, with Dereck its every $20

You just like Amanda on Iron Resurrection grin I can't deal with "Shag"

I was watching Roadworthy Rescues too but have tapered off because the show has changed from getting something running out in a field to being in shops, having guests, installing crate engines, etc.

I got tired of him and the repetitiveness. And lately it seems like everything is putting big buck changes into junk.
I've gotten more interest in some of the other youtube guys who find interesting cars or old collections but don't go through the rest of the drama. But it only makes me wish I had the time and space and non rotted out old cars around here to do that sort of stuff too.

Full Custom Garage. Love what Ian does with a pile of metal. Combination of resto, metalwork, rat rod etc. Don’t car for the cartoon cars. The guy has an eye for fab work.

I would say favorite on that channel is Roadkill Garage... Engine Masters.
Dulchich and Frieburger seem to be genuine friends, not made up TV " characters".

Least watched is Bitchin Rides, Two Guys Garage, Newborn/Cotton

I also really enjoy Dulchich and Frieburger. I would've been friends with them if we went to high school together lol.

I generally watch all of them except the All Girls and Two Guys - sometimes I learn something, or see something interesting, either featured or in the background.
There's a couple others I've checked out, but couldn't get "into".
Some of them can be pretty funny at times - just being some guys clowning around - though sometimes the "technical fiction" is silly and/or irritating.
I do keep in mind that's it's TV/streaming, and biased towards someone's idea of entertainment vs tech or reality.
A lot of the shops do seem to get stuck in a rut, and some spend too much time patting themselves on the back.
Recent episode of Roadkill with the boat-car and quickie rental-car Nitrous was really funny.

I really liked the Legendary TV show because of the mix. Had some road testing, had some product info, and had some technical "process". But it's been gone for decades.

there is a new show coming, "last chance garage".
i thought there was a show by that name before, in canada i believe, run by two brothers and a little guy that may have been a cousin ?
it also stared a couple of guys that went around to junkyards and scrap yards "borrowing" materials needed for "repairs".

Doesn't seem like every single show has to have a picture with the crew standing, arms crossed, usually a beard or three, tatts, trying to look bad ass? Not exactly unique anymore.

I really miss the show called "American Muscle Car". I believe it was on in the 90's.
It featured nothing but what else? American Muscle! All makes and model's were shown,
but there was no BS like most of today's shows. The late Tom Shaw, from Muscle Car Review, Paul Zazzarine, Greg Rager, and others did commentary....
and they gave facts about the various cars...it was a great show. IIRC it was shown on the old Speed Channel?


Plymouth Makes It!

Great show. I bought the DVD set on Amazon. The first two season are on Prime and Tubi TV if you use them.

I wish MT would get some of the shows that uses to be on the old Speed Chanel, Some went to MavTv and my cable doesn't carry it. I liked to watch Stacey David's Gearz and Chop Cut Rebuild. American Hot Rod was interesting(on Discovery if i remember correctly) but Boyd Coddington was a slave driver. "This car needs to be done by Friday!" and it's a total wreck! Would like to see more content on the vehicles than the nonsense of the host or sponsors.

Victory By Design - if I remember the name correctly - hosted by Alain de Cadenet, who was a racer and drove the featured old cars.
Very factual, lots of history, with some fascinating cars, though largely Euro - but very well presented.

Fun fact: de Cadenet, polished and articulate, and a proper gentleman as the Brits would say, was presenting another program.
Camera on him, he doesn't apparently know that a Spitfire is on the deck and approaching rapidly.
Last second, he instinctively ducks down hard, and spews profanity like a sailor...it's hysterical...
It's on YouTube.

Just finished watching Last Chance Garage all I can say is it's a great show!They worked on a hemi powered 56 Desoto that was still in the family since the grandfather owned it and passed down to his grandson. upAlso they fixed up a 90s jeep,did some frame work interior,paint,suspension and cool 70s jeep CJ renegade graphics.i highly recommended this show. drive

I like Shorty's Garage also. That guy has the right attitude for working on old cars.

Iron Resurrection is also pretty good.

Hot Rod Garage, Roadkill, Roadkill Garage, Iron Resurrection, Engine Masters in that order.

Bitchin' Rides is okay too, but that stuff is so far from my reality, that it gets hard to relate to anything they build.

I was originally put off of Iron Resurrection, but warmed up to it after seeing how much of what they do is hand fabricated.

I've tried to enjoy "Roadworthy Rescues," but find myself not caring if he finishes a "build" or not before the episode ends. shruggy

What you wrote about Iron Resurrection is exactly how I feel about Texas Metal.
