I have greatly reduced my time in watching Velocity.

[JoecCaputo]

The same programs are shown over and over. A couple times is OK but who in the hell wants to see the barrage of program repeats. I have to say it was appreciated that Darren and Josh are gone but Mark needs to back off a bit more from his stupid remarks and actions. Alysha is a beautiful and appreciated addition and she deserves more respect then she gets on the show. She is no Stupid Blonde like her father and others seem to interject into the program.

OK

There is almost zero quality automotive content on television, including Velocity. I had high hopes for Velocity, but it unfortunately follows the Discovery Channel (R.I.P.) recipe for it's shows, with reality tv stars yelling for 90% of the episode with the other 10% being vaguely car related stuff. And most of that 10% is extremely dumbed down and shallow, like "here's a quick 2 second shot of the Summit catalog crate 350 we're putting in this Camaro".

If you want high quality automotive content, with an emphasis on muscle cars AND where Mopars get at least 50% of the screen time, you should check out Motor Trend OnDemand. It's a $5/month online video subscription service that is vastly different than the newsstand Motor Trend magazine.

Roadkill, Roadkill Garage, Hot Rod Garage, House of Muscle, and Engine Masters are all shows on MTOD that show almost exclusively muscle car content, and all those shows have hosts that love Mopars and showcase them waaaay more than any other media format I've ever seen. The only downfall I can think of is, no hot chicks , just a bunch of wrenchers having fun and overcoming obstacles while explaining what they're doing and not yelling at each other for ratings.

Those shows also have a combined 100+ twenty-thirty minute episodes on Youtube, and they post their new shows to Youtube for free after a month on MTOD.

I don't have a premium channel account and don't get those shows, so I'll just hang out here and read about the real world of building cars!

Welcome from Canada, all the shows we get here are 6 months old, unless, you pay for a better package, I'd rather spend my time and money on my car

The shows are on the computer, not TV or cable.
Type in your search bar (or google) “Motor trend on demand” and check it out.

Agreed on too many reruns.

I have a premium tv acct.
And there's absolutely NOTHING on.

I hate those reality car shows with a bunch of posers with Mickey mouse tattoos trying to look like tough guys. All they do is whine and hit each other with purses.
If it were a group of normal well spoken realistic individuals who did legitimate restorations to near stock condition on cool cars, I would probably watch it.
TV totally sucks anymore.

Wheeler Dealers is still the best.

Deviated a bit from the original and some of it seems a bit more fabricated.

Speaking of fabrication, the new guy "Ant" is doing a good job filling the tough to fill shoes of Edd China.

Ant is more of a fabricator and customizer, where Edd was mostly a rebuilder.

The don't seem to be showing as much of the actual rebuilding process with the tricks and idiosyncrasies of particular cars and systems. I kind of miss that.

My wife even commented on the fact that Ant's hands and fingernails were actually dirty. She also remembered that Edd wore nitrile gloves.
