When is Speed going to get some good programs and get rid of all of the reruns of Unique Whips & Pinks?
I am sick and tired of seeing the same Unique Whips & Pinks program scheduled time after time after time. I didn't like the shows that much the first time they ran and I am sure there have been episodes that have aired at least 20 times or more! If they want to cram these shows down our throats why don't they start another channel, "Unique Whips & Pinks all day, every day. Watch the same episodes of Unique Whips & Pinks until you are blue in the face!"
This is the worst case of programming I have ever seen for a channel in all the years I have been watching TV, and now they are adding another show, WRECKED, which is already in the rerun stage.
What happened to the Isle of Man TT races? What happened to Goodwood? What happened to Motorsports Mondial, or the History of Motorsports? How about more Victory by Design?
Start airing some good, informative, interesting shows where the viewer can actually learn something about the history of the sports and the vehicles.
You certainly know how to beat a dead horse, and most of the shows you air now have been dead a long, long time!

Most of the threads on this subject have been deleted, but there have been very many. I have been warned by the mods not to repost my feelings on these shows, as well as Living the Low Life, and I will continue to heed those warnings.

Pinks and Unique don't even bother me anymore, it's these new shows that are really poorly executed. SuperCars Exposed wasn't too bad, but 101 cars is just awful. That guy isn't funny in the least bit and he knows even less about the cars themselves. Wrecked is just completely unwatchable, it should be on the Discovery Channel instead since it has absolutely zero to do with cars or racing.

After being warned, I now express my dissatisfaction with my remote.

All I will watch on Speed is AMA, WSB, MotoGP, F1, and Wind Tunnel when I can catch it. The rest is, as another poster put it, unwatchable.
The sad part is that somebody out there must be watching this garbage because people are paying to advertise during those time slots.

Change the Channel, clap clap clap, Change the Channel, clap clap clap, Change the Channel!

I do appreciate F1, ALMS, Grand Am, Le Mans, GP2, Star Mazda, SWC and coverage of the SCCA run-offs. All the shows are a different story, but they give me a chance to pursue other interests.

If you want to watch real racing, just use bit torrent and watch TopGear, DTM , real F1 broadcast by iTV and about every other form of real racing. And watch it within two or three days of its live airing, not two or three months at 4am.

I do, but I feel like I am missing out on all of the actual racing programming Speed could show in place of the second and third showing of these "original" shows. Can't they have one set night where they show all of these shows and dedicate two or three other nights to racing shows and races?

The question is..."When is FAUX and its affiliates going to kick the Reality habit?" Reality on Speed+Racing on Versus=BS!!!!!

Yes and no. I don't really like Unique Whips (except for that ending song). However, Pinks is a great show. While it's part of the "less shows, more racing" initiative, I actually enjoy watching Pinks. I guess I've gotten burned out on Pinks re-runs. However, Pinks is an amazing show. Same goes for "Pinks - All Out."

At least we can agree on Unique Whips. I just never really got into the show. Had it been "No More Unique Whips and Pass Time!!", then I'd agree 100%.
