For a bunch of people that are "boycotting" the show and/or channel, you all sure do know a lot about it.

that because the darn thing is being advertised to death during every commercial break during race broadcasts.

I enjoy the show. I record and watch every episode. I really don't understand why so many people are hating on it. There are other channels that can be watched at any given time.

I posted something about this months back when the show was first announced. After forcing myself to watch an episode the other night, I said "Yup! I was right!" What a RIDICULOUS waste of air time this show is. Honestly, does anyone at Speed really think things through anymore? Don't they care we want QUALITY programming?

Gee, the segment about the 4 guys getting yelled at by the boss because they ruined a cable was so intriguing - as was watching them trying to fix the crimp in the expensive cable. Oh, and these veterans being bad by not entering things in their log books....hoo boy, that was intense drama!!

And, oh yes, watching the two guys team up to clear a 3-car wreck was the most riveting TV I've ever seen!!


Speed, you have to be kidding me with this garbage. I thought the guy you hired that ruined Inside Nextel Cup or whatever it was with Alan Bestwick (after, what, 9 years running strong before you came along?) and brought us other absurd programming that has nearly ruined the channel was fired or left. Clearly not, as we still have a bunch of bozos thinking anyone other than maybe another tow truck driver would give a crap about Wrecked. Please, give us a *little* more credit, Speed.

Pay for the spots.

Sounds like a simple solution.

I absolutely understand the need for original programming. It is cheap to make and for the average person it could be entertaining. But what I don't understand is why the original programming must be shown over and over and over again? I'm pretty sure "Wrecked" was shown at least four times this week already. Unique Whips is on every weeknight.

Why not set one day during the week (maybe even two) to show the reality type shows like Wrecked and Pinks? That way, maybe two other days could be devoted to racing that happened that past weekend. Make Monday night "open wheel night" where you show Formula 3, Atlantics, World Series by Renault, Int. Formula Masters, etc.. Have another night for Touring Cars and Sports Cars (V8SC, DTM, BTCC, FIA GT, LMS, British GT) and show the Bikes like you currently do now. That would take up probably an hour or two per race, and these series don't race every weekend, so it would fit nicely into an evening lineup.

I also understand that it requires money to show each of these series, but some of them, like DTM, are shown in the winter, although in very abbreviated 1 hour showings.

This show is Speeds answer to The discovery channels "Worlds most deadliest catch" a real show. If speed can't find another topic other than "unique Whippes" I'm sick of the same old show Millionaire celebraties spending loads of money on bumper kits, big stereos with blue lights, and big rims. The only talent on that show is Remey and he's gotta be sick of building speaker boxes??? I'd like to see where Wil Castro actually works on a car, instead of limping around complaining about his guys not workin fast enough so he can pocket more cash,he should take a lesson from Chip Foose and get envolved. How about going to a local car show and picking a guy out of teh parking lot that has a ride but can'r get it there and finish his ride and help him for free. That would be "Unique"
