Wheeler Dealers (2003)
Bring back Edd China PLEASE
Like everything US TV execs get their mitts on they've managed to neuter a great show into an okay show. I think this show was the creation of Mike Brewer but as most people seem to agree Edd was the reason to watch. I applaud his decision to stand up to Disney and leave when the real car repair portion of the show was being relegated to being an afterthought.
Ant seems like a nice guy and a great mechanic he's just not Edd China and that is the difference. I also read many of the other reviews and as others have so wisely pointed out the "profit" angle is ridiculous. Edd's labour charges would easily amount to thousands of dollars on each project. Brewer can't be serious about that word profit. The cars are being sold at a ridiculously cheap price for all that work.
Anyways please Disney ( Velocity) come to your senses and bring back Edd . Let him have the creative control over a series dealing with auto restoration.
Storage Wars (2010)
We get it, it's fake but FUN
This show is a guilty pleasure. Of course you have to suspend belief to enjoy it. Who really thinks anyone would leave 300K worth of art in a storage locker but couldn't afford the small monthly fees? The locks are all brand spanking new and obviously just put on the lockers. The reason to watch, is the interaction between the "stars" on the show. Barry is always quick witted and hilarious. I love to see just what vehicle he'll drive to the next auction. Brandi is the eye candy. Hester is the heel everyone loves to hate. Darryl' is the not too bright anti-Hester. Not a fan of some of the newest additions but I still find myself watching this if I pass by it on the dial.
