I don't watch regular TV, but i have a question

You guys mention a lot of shows that you like or dislike. Graveyard Carz, Fast and Loud, I don't remember the others. Are they all on the same network? What is that network? I really have no interest in cable or satellite but I think I like Netflix. I wonder if they are on that? I know Top Gear, at least the UK version is on Netflix.

I have watched Road Kill on the internet and I love it. Those guys do all the stupid fixes my dad and I used to do. Oakie, Redneck stuff. Are any of those other shows on the internet?

No. Not on Netflix. Best thing to do is shoot the tv and go play in the garage.

Graveyard Carz and a lot of other car shows like Chasing Classic Cars, What's My Car Worth, What's in the Barn? and Wheeler Dealers are on Velocity Network. Fast N Loud and Texas Car Wars is on Discovery Network. Counting Cars is on History Channel. Cars Chasers is another show about flippers and it's on CNBC.

I've been wanting to ditch my cable and just watch things on Netflix, Amazon, and internet but I've haven't figured out to watch all these cars shows online yet. Some of them are pretty stupid but they are pretty much the only thing I watch on TV besides The Walking Dead.

I've seen some episodes of Roadkill on Youtube and it pretty much beats all the car shows on cable.

I always watch Fast & Loud because I find the guys working at GMG to be pretty funny and a good team. I especially like that they are the only show that loses as much as it wins. Rawlings will score big on one car, then lose his *** on the next two, which is the way a real business operates. I hate these shows where the "impossible" deadlines are always met, the car always sells for more than was expected, and the shop never takes a loss.

My favorite car show is still the Brit's Wheeler Dealers. While the finding and buying part is lame, I enjoy watching when Ed China works on the cars as they actually take the time to explain what he's doing, why he's doing it, and what the process is. I learned more about installing things like wheel bearings, hardened valve seats and air suspensions from that show than anything else. Every other show starts the process then POOF... it's all done! That's not very useful to me.

Garveyard Carz is just 60 minutes of my life that's wasted and that I'll never get back. The only thing I find interesting about it is how stupid must a business owner be to allow a show to be made in his business while he does nothing but talk about how inept his employees are, how he has no control over them, and they're always damaging the cars? The only car show I hate more is Chasing Classic Cars, and that's just because it is such a snobfest.

hell you could spend all day on youtube, just watching old/vintage car shows & old races/events... I'm not a big fan of any of the flipper shows, but not much else I want to even watch on TV, so I watch them instead of the lame or gay shows that are forced down our throats today or I prefer sports {football mainly some golf}, NHRA & some NASCAR racing, Sprint, Indy or Rally cars when they actually show them, then a bunch of news & car shows... Pretty much watch all the Spike-TV, Discovery Networks {several of them} & History Channels, National Geographic's, Outdoor Network, ESPN's & the NFL Network... I miss the Speed Channel, we don't get MavTV either, where allot of the old speed shows went...

Graveyard cars is on the web that's where it started, if you can stand to sit thru a whole show... The old Spike-TV Powerblock use to be on the web too... I think OverHaulin episodes are on the web too {I know there's allot of Foose haters out there, but I like to watch it, contrived or not, some serious talent on that show/builds}... Gearz Stacey David show was on the web too, I really liked that show... Tons of the old 70's-90's Nashville Network Diamond P Sports {racing, building & car shows} shows on the web too... Wheeler Dealers was a web start-up too, years of it, it's not my favorite show, but I wish they Mike & Ed would clean some parts before Ed {the metrosexuals as I call them} installs them at-least, seems like Ed's always installing some greasy grungy parts back on a vehicles, just clean & paint them, sorry but it's a pet peeve of mine, decent content "if you can get over the Brit humor/nomenclature & cost discrepancies/currency exchange between euro's & dollars", it's informative thou, better formula than allot of the flipper shows...

I agree with Bruzilla on the Wheeler Dealers show. Fascinating to hear the mechanic explain everything….when HE explains it…it all sounds so easy….and when he does it ….. it LOOKS easy. If I tried it….i'd need a community of help!! South Beach Classics was amusing as well…..irascible Ted and his model wife and the "gargoyles" (which I must have missed the episode he explained WHY he calls them that). I'm amused how he takes a truck load of cars to a "trade show"…and trades everything. Plus…he somehow traded an 00s VW Passat for a 65 Mustang 2+2 fastback (and some pocket change). Only on TV. I agree about Graveyard Carz. It's a wonder how the guy doesn't have a stroke hating his employees like he does…..

Yeah, I pretty much gave up on TV three years ago. There were some shows I liked but they all got cancelled - and I thought they were pretty good shows. So that just pissed me off. FBBO has pretty much replaced the TV!
