Dumb question about a show on Speed

[Ghoste]

Channel surfing tonight and I just caught a blip of some show on Speed that I think is called Car Wars?  I seldom watch Speed so I'm not too ure that's what it was but it looked like the graphic for the program featured a pair of 69 Chargers.  A quick search on the web found nothing but did I get it right or does no such thing exist?

There are threads about it. I'll let someone else find them though  

Simply put it's a show where a group of "professional famous" customizers work against another group of customerizers to build the better car in 72 hours. The winning group gets to keep both cars.

The two "Teams" have matching cars, and each group builds the car their way. Later, they are judged by some annoying black guy, an annoying white guy, and George Barris.

I saw the Chargers in the ads as well but they didnt build any yet on the show AFAIK

Maybe just as well if it's a customizing contest.  I seldom see customizing attempts go well and it seems an even rarer thing when it's done to a car like the 2nd gen Charger where it was pretty much perfect the way it already came.

That show is stupid. There is more arguing then actually working on the cars in that show. I have also read somewhere that someone found out that show is actually staged. I'll never watch it again.

All of those reality shows are staged. There are cuts and retakes and scripts that they work from.  From American Pickers to Pawn Stars and so on. They are all done in the same format. On Pawn Stars, when you see someone walk in with an item and place it on the counter. That might have been the 3rd or 4th take before the director get the scene he likes.

[TruckDriver]

Not all reality shows are staged. I agree on most. But I know for a fact Deadliest catch, Axe Men isn't nor is Ice Road Truckers. Those are all captured by multiple cameras mounted everywhere.

staged doesnt always mean not real.  Pawn stars has real customers that they use to try and make a show out of, if you have ever worked with real people and cameras, most do not go together.

staged and not real would be something like "operation repo", or "southern fried stings"
