Actually, I like "101 Cars You Must Drive." I was probably expecting wall-to-wall comedy, but Alonso Bodden is pretty funny. There are even some nice car facts that I didn't know. For example, I didn't know that the spolier on the Superbird was raised up so high just to access the trunk (or the boot for you European folks). I like this show. Don't love it, but like it.
when i first saw the promo's. for this show, i thought they might FINALLY have come up with a halfway decent premise for a non racing program.
the idea is a good one.
but the show is weak.
a huge dissapointment.
I like the concept of the show, but the execution just isn't there. I can't really fault Alonzo Bodden as he can only do as well or as poorly as what the producers, and the reaserchers give him.
A example of this was in the last episode "playing in the dirt" where they only drove 4 out of the 5 vehicles. If they could find a Fiat Jolly(which only 700 were made) how come they couldn't find a Ford Bronco to drive?? Ford made over 200,000 Bronco's in 11 years. How hard would it have been to go to one of the Bronco forums and find someone who would let them drive there bronco in that episode???
In Episode 6 "Party Over Where? Party Right Here" They drove a Hummer and a Willy's Jeep. I would have thought those two vehicles would have fit better in the Playing in the dirt episode. The Fiat Jolly should not have been in the playing in the dirt episode, as it just isn't a offroad vehical.
So I blame the problems on the people who produce the show not the Host.
