The "sad mouth" nickname bothers you? Do you own one of those cars? It is an accurate description though. The styling of the Challengers took a hit with the 72 and later models while the Barracuda maintained a high mark from 70-74. The round taillights of the 72-74 barracuda were the worst change of the e bodies.

FE5 Red, bought it in Dec. 1973 when it was 6 mos. old. 48 years of ownership and counting. I prefer to think of the grill shape as a mean scowl. Better than a bunch of the new cars smiling at me. The 57 Chrysler 300C and the 68 Shelby Mustangs have an almost identical grill opening, and I see nothing but praise for the looks of those cars.

First few seasons were good, once Darren left, it’s boring. I don’t need to hear someone ramble off data plate option codes from the Red Book or production figures. It’s hard to watch but seeing the A-body stuff lately instead of Hemi E-Body’s is nice but pretty hard to watch.

I didn't like all the nonsense with "stealing" Darren's stuff nor did I enjoy Mark's clueless son-in-law. This show operates on advertising dollar and should focus on the viewer and what they want to see and not family drama. But again, I'd watch about anything they did because it's all Mopar and it's the only one and I'm thankful for that, and I believe Mark is a true Mopar fanatic.
Facts are stubborn things.

Its nice that they are putting episodes on youtube but it would be nice if they were in some sort of order or said what season and episode they were because they seem to jump all over the place. They’re aggressively uploading 4-5 videos a day with clickbait titles. Unfortunately, they’re mainly repeats over and over. My feeling: I think GYC is coming towards an end, at least in the TV/Cable world.
