American Chopper - the best show


Anyone know why they moved American Chopper to TLC? Now I'll never be able to watch it in HD. Plus TLC has TLC in huge red letters in the bottom right hand corner. Cmon, do I need to know that through the whole show and does it need to be burned into my big screen?

The new episode had to be one of the funniest I've seen. Did you see them buy the junker cars from the lot and run into each other on the way back to the shop? LOL. The E-Brake was stuck on Mikey's car so he drug the rear wheels everywhere. I was falling off my couch.

Sorry..I lost my attraction to them. When they start painting, making tanks and frames, maybe I'll watch again.

I think they made one tank(for Codys bike).They just put things together from other people make.Not like Jessie James or any other bike builders.There only popular for all the yelling and 3 stoogies stuff they do.They only assemble others peoples hard work.

I used to watch when there was more bike building. Now that the show has become a sitcom I hardly ever watch any more. I wouldn't let Mikey get near any bike of mine.

Jesse James is the best.......... although, I was watching OCC for a year or so. As for image of TLC burning into your big screen, get rid of it and get an LCD :P

They still aren't painting, but they've been making frames and tanks for quite a while.

The drama gets a little hard to handle at times, I do like the different theme bikes they build, tho new school customs aren't my preference. Watching Boyd Coddingtons show is about the same for me, too much drama and tension, I would rather watch Overhaulin with Foose, more good vibes and less conflict

I like it, but i agree it has gotten a lot less in the cycle part, and more into the other filler stuff,,,,
Since i had gotten rid of my satellite for a time, i picked up the first three years of the show, on DVD, with the third season just over the holidays.
If i want something on the tube so i can just sit and watch it w/out using too many brain cells , AC is my choice,,

I think there are drinking games out there like
Everytime Sr. threatens to use his size 12's
Everytime the project at hand goes past schedule
Everytime Sr. crabs about the mess in the shop
Everytime Jr. is late (or disapears )
Everytime Sr. sez he can make that bike faster then Jr.
Everytime Mikey gets yelled at
Everytime Jr wears 3 articles of AC logo'd clothing(including sunglasses)

With those rules, not one player in this game will be upright, b4 the episode ends,,LOL

I gotta get my satellite back up , so i can watch those shows (Hotrod /truck/car) where they lower the suspension on said vehicle,or narrow a rear end in 15 minutes,,,,,cuz i must not be doing it right,,takes me a lil longer than that LOL
