    Rockin' Roadsters

     



    Just saw a teaser that Billy Gibbons is hosting a new Discovery TV show, Rockin' Roadsters, first one tonight at 9pm and 11pm Central - Billy Gibbons' 'Rockin' Roadsters' latest project for ZZ Top legend | Fox News I'll record it for later, just in case it's not a total waste of time.....

    And within the first 30 minutes they've put a 3 week deadline on their very first build!

    Well.. I guess I 've watch that show exactly twice, the first and last just today...

    Oh, and it was boring waiting for shopping carts!

    That whole show was so contrived it was laughable.

    Whatever happened to the build shows that were entertaining and you actually learned something? Coddington's show was great in the beginning, but.....I'm a contractor by trade so I enjoy watching home shows once in a while, but they show how to build something and it skips to the end before you get to see how they accomplished that!...WTH?
    I thought I knew a lot, until I had teenagers!

    It's gotta be the producers, trying to put together shock value that they believe is entertainment. I would be nice to have a new show like the old original New Yankee Workshop with Norm Abrams, where he came on, defined a project, gave some history and then designed and built the project over a month or so.

    Sorry, Shine. It seemed like it might have possibilities.... Glad I DVR'd it and didn't wait for it to come on.

    tv has gone to hell . every show has to be filled with drama since the younger viewers live for drama.

    I was watching Kansas vs Texas basketball and switched over around the half way mark. They were starting to cut up the shopping carts which almost lost me and then Billy came on with some painter gal and went out looking at some flowering tree for paint color which was rather amusing. Right after that Jimmy Shine announced that they had three weeks to finish the project and I went back to the basketball game. Sort of a combination of Monster Garage and Coddington and that was enough for me.

    I was hoping you'd save me that step... but....... sigh, no....




    under edit I quote wikipedia
    " The S. S. Minnow of the 1964–1967 television show Gilligan's Island was sarcastically named after him to express displeasure with his assessment of the quality of television."

    Somehow that just seems fitting for a non elected politician! Now back on topic please!
