Doesn't

Is that a TV show or something?

I am a confuse

Episode one on Speed now

They should just hire Mighty Car Mods to do a show and give them a decent budget.

tried to watch just now.....didn't make it five minutes. It seems like the whole point is to make snarky comments about cars that don't fit a particular taste/use/lifestyle.

Those cars are so badly mismatched, BMW M3, 73 Mustang Grande, 67 Buick Riviera, 04 Dodge quad cab 4x4 Cummins with 30 subwoofers in 1st one, then in second: Audi R8, 2010 Camaro V6 with 26 rims, classic Chev panel van and a lowrider G body.

How the hell do you compare them

This show is lame. At least the cars aren't getting damaged. The Buick was my fav. Mustang looked good despite ugly wheels, owner was a total whack job though. BMW was an exercise in build with your Mastercard, not your hands. Dodge was a fail beyond belief. I'm not wasting my time with episode 2.

lookin' like Wed. night Speed is a total washout

Still better than "Barrett-Jackson" and "Racing Chef", amongst others

That's why all you Wed. night posters need to warm up your PS3 and come race with us every Wed. night @ the GRM GT5 race series. If we posted some of the replays on Utube you may be tempted to do just that.

That show was't that bad . . . it was really bad.

Ok I tried to watch it twice. It sucked the first time and double sucked the second time! Why do they make car shows aimed at people who aren't car people? If you aren't into cars then you aren't going to watch and if you are into cars then this show is dumb.

Speed is obviously doing its best to bring its "suck factor" to new levels. I honestly believe that they release 2 or 3 bad shows in a row hoping that the show that they really want to succeed does simply because it is so much better than the really bad ones. It is kind of like if you can not make a good show make several really bad ones so the mediocre one seems that much better.

There must have been some sort of marketing survey done a while back that told them that the median age of the viewership is between 13 and 15 years old.

News Flash for all the Speed Channel / Fox executives. This age ground usually does not drive. You may also want to consider that they don't have the disposable income to finances a 50K build. Just a hint here but you may want to gear your programing to the people that actually have the $$$$. Or at least to licenced drivers.

"We need to create shows for something other than Nascar, to broaden our appeal and audience."

months later......

"See, I told you it wouldnt work. Lets just show some re-runs of Nascar races."

Are they putting a few crap shows on the air on purpose?

"It is kind of like if you can not make a good show make several really bad ones so the mediocre one seems that much better." Congratulations, you just summed up modern marketing and modern politics in one sentence.

Man, it would be SO easy to totally flounder this thread, knowing who owns Fox.

But I wont.

the paintjob on the chick's riviera was perfect, i thought. other than that, yeah, the show was awful.

Can't they tap someone's phone and figure out what we really want to watch?

There, flounderd it for ya
