It's just entertainment, and not a learning program. I suppose many of the
viewers don't have any thoughts of building anything they see on the show,
or even have the tools to build it. I put it in the same category of shows
like "How It's Made" and "American Chopper", where the viewer is not
looking for a way to make a Hockey helmet or a custom motorcycle.

American Chopper is less and less about motorcycles. It more and more about
the Tuetel family soap opera. *And watch daddy get rich while he drives his
sons away. *There has been a couple recent episodes where less than ten
minutes of the show had anything to do with building a bike.

That show has sucked for years now. It was cool in the beginning. Now
it is nothing but grand entrances, false dead-lines and stage-craft...
and family drama, because we are the voyeurs of human drama and family
feuds. We love to slow down at the scene of an accident. Sick.
