Missed the premire on Sunday but I think they repeated it tonight. Shows kinda weird but the scene with the challenger at the end was pretty awesome. That thing was haulin!

The Chally was introduced tonight and of coarse...It finished up in first place tonight. Heavy Metal Mopar Baby!

Gonna have to start watchin this one I think.  :icon_smile_big:

You got to love the dorks (on the message board) who think a 70 Challenger is a 72 Charger.....

They did say it was a 72 Challenger on the show though......I would think the owner of that car would help them get it right! :brickwall:

The fact that the show looked very cheesy in the commercials, and the fact that they played the commercials so much as to drill the show into your head, turned me off. This doesn't seem like a show that will last long anyway. You can only build so much of a story line around a race. Maybe it's just me, but as I'm getting older, The only tv I like is REAL reality shows like The Deadliest Catch, or Bullrun, or Man vs. Wild. Stuff like that.

Sort of a "LOST" in cars.

I watched it, and was surprised that they did not wreck the car in the first 10 secs..But im sure that car is a gonner at the end of the show..Hopefully not, but the acting is a little cheesy IMO ..perhaps it will grow on me :D  :yesnod:
Earth. Even the word sounded strange to me now... unfamiliar. How long had I been gone? How long had I been back? Did it matter? I tried to find the rhythm of the world where I used to live. I followed the current. I was silent, attentive, I made a conscious effort to smile, nod, stand, and perform the millions of gestures that constitute life on earth. I studied these gestures until they became reflexes again. But I was haunted by the idea that I remembered her wrong -Solaris

Same here. I've still also yet to watch an episode of 24 or Prison Break for that same reason - too overhyped, and when I hear the grandma-type secretaries talking about them in the lunch room, that's a pretty sure sign I don't wanna watch them. Besides, there was now way in hell that last Sunday I was gonna miss The Tudors, Sopranos, and Entourage just to watch "Drive".

Prison Break is actually a good show IMO, My fav would have to be The Shield though.  :yesnod:

:iagree:
 
Pretty much ANYTHING on the FOX network is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy over hyped. The only shows on the Fox network I will watch whatsoever is Cops & Nascar. I watched 24 once and thought it was terible. All it is, is explosions, and Jack yelling. ::) :P

I missed Monday's episode.  Did anybody else think it was funny when the character driving the truck (I dunno his name) tried styling the new charger and it died on him?   Hahaha!

I only caught a few minutes of it and it didn't grab me..

24 is going down hill like a mud slide. That started to slide last year.

Lost still has about 55% of my attention. 

The Soprano's SUCK this year...


Drag Racing, Bullrun and ENTOURAGE have me in front of the TV without a doubt..  :yesnod:

ON their website it says "final 2 episodes coming this summer, Stay TUned"

They suck. They do this constantly and are the world's worst to yank a show before anybody CAN get into it.

As soon as somebody figures out that Bones is actually a good show, they will pull it, no sense taking a chance or setting a precedent!

heh...I never watched it nor was I inclined to. Seeing the previews over and over again turned me off to it - seemed like the worst show ever. Yeah, it was about cars and whatnot...but Showgirls was about strippers, and it wasn't any good either.

Heh....network TV has been irrelevant for years. The best shows are on cable anyway.

hey Ponch,

check it out.

I wasn't going to watch it ether, but i was sick and bored, so i torrented the first few episodes, the first 2 were ok, but the last 5 min of the 3rd episode had me hooked! the 4th episode was good as well. It seems like one of those shows that is just getting better and better, but its be cancelled so we will never know how good it could have been.

I know what you mean about over load of the previews. I like the shows on FX some more then others, but it seems like those guys don't make a bad show, but i will not watch Dirt because literly every other ad on that station for like 4 months was an ad for Dirt.

I think I read over at the LX board that the next two episodes are supposed to be available for streaming online.

I watched the UTUBE vid. to see what you where all talking about.. Now I know why it was tossed out on it's ass.. The Chally weaving when it didn't need to and the sound loop that was stuck on SHIFT..

Either that or the Chally had a 78 speed transmission...  When are these HOLLYWOOD types going to start showing thing in THE REAL WORLD??

I would much rather watch my grass grow.. Keeping it on the air is the same as this..   :horse:
