As Notes: FAIL Should Have Been a 30 Min Show

[clacura · 8/10 · 18 August 2019]

Sad...this should have been a very good show! Get two episodes in and you will fast forward through the same commercials for the entire hour episode. These are at best 20 min stories with 10 mins of commercials. Tons of filler time because the hosts are not good enough and the production is good, but not to fill the extra nothing. Total fail...if this was 30 minute episodes, it would be a success.

Love this show. Love the stories. Love the cars.

I really like the concept of the show. They seem to find obscure stories about cars and tell them in an interesting almost mysterious way. The show keeps me guessing until the very end! I've waited every week for a new episode and watch it either live or the next day. Great job guys, keep up the good work. I can't wait to see what you show me next!

My Wife and I love this show.

Can you tell these story's in 5 minutes, yeah, same as your favorite movie tho. It's the details and history that is told around the story's that make it interesting. I watch it on the Motortrend app and there are no commercials or recaps. My wife watches a ton of crime TV, I feel this is along the same idea of production, but with cars, so it's better, lol.

*We watch it together and really enjoy the entire story being told, we are in our mid 30's and can handle a story without pulling out our phones to check social media, ;-P

Five minute story

[FrozenInTheSeventies · 4/10 · 27 February 2019]

Interesting concept. I was really looking forward to the premier. First episode had a unique story about a stolen and buried Dino Ferrari. Sadly, there is only about a five minute story to be told, and they need to stretch it out to one hour. Endless repetition of the same facts. It might be tolerable as a 30 minute show.

20 min commercials, 30 min filler, 10 min show

[joellematiasevich · 4/10 · 7 April 2019]

The first episode was entertaining enough to hook me into hitting the record button on my DVR. Its been down hill since.... Some episodes seemingly have no story, its just 2 guys saying "interestingly enough" for an episode. Ive drawn the line at this last episode, as the 2 host's stare at a wrecked car in the woods. That even from the viewers chair, you can see has been rotting for easily 30+ years. As they stare at it and one of them comments "I think this has been here for awhile. Cause brush has grown where it came through"...... The droning on of absolutely nothing gets so intense at some points. The two host's spend literally 1/2 the shows time saying things like ," rich people like cars and they like driving them fast",over and over and over. The worst part is they both seem very impressed with each other as they say it, "Thats right, sometimes rich people do buy expensive cars, and drive them fast".

Should be a great show

[dhalle-68976 · 2/10 · 7 February 2021]

This should be a great show. The story's are drawn out which is understandable but the two host are absolutely insufferable. They make the show unwatchable! Sorry. Should be great but it is not.

Way too much time wasted repeating unnecessary points

[benchseat · 2/10 · 7 February 2021]

These clowns are absolutely annoying. They take one point and then beat it to death while smiling at each other. The show had potential but it gets lost in their need to stroke each other's ego. How about they be succinct and stick to the story and facts? That would be a watchable show. As it is now...not so much.

10 min of content, poorly hosted, to bad.

[jsmyth-17116 · 4/10 · 4 March 2021]

What started out as a good idea, was completely flushed down the toilet with this show. I watched the first couple episodes, and was intrigued enough to set the DVR to record for the rest. It just became worse and worse. The two host appear to talk for they're own pleasure, and encourage each to do so. The spectrum of dialogue between the two is vegetarian lasagna to dumb, and at certain times they just repeat the same observations over, and over, and over. 30 min of commercials, 20 min of repeating the same observation, 10 minutes of content. The hosts appear to be such self indulgent weeny's, that u can't help to think that they are either related to someone to keep this show. Or, producing themselves .

Rivaling "Seinfeld" as the ultimate show about nothing

[ozart2002-919-392694 · 1/10 · 24 January 2021]

I just suffered through episode 4 of season 2, where two abysmally clueless (and annoying) beta males discuss the possibility that "dead man's curve" in LA was purposely designed to be dangerous/deadly....a 10 minute discussion that took a mind-numbing hour to accomplish. This has been their modus operandi from the beginning, but they have really screwed the pooch here.

Since there was pretty much nothing to begin with, the writers filled the segment with side stories about Jan & Dean, a short history of the Corvette , and interviews with assorted 'experts' regarding road design. This pile of crap (and all previous episodes) has been forever banished from my DVR - if I could only erase it from my memory as well.

Apparently, the new direction for all the channels affiliated with the Discovery Network have been engaged in a secret competition to lower the bar for 'educational' programming to simian levels (or if you prefer, the public schools).

Boring

[samsiam-38248 · 1/10 · 7 February 2021]

Just a bunch of used banter about nothing and whole show building up to useless info

Crap

[pronuke · 1/10 · 27 June 2021]

This was originally about cars and not bad though overly long. Now it's just another who done it where nothing is resolved and has next to nothing to do with an automobile. Total garbage.

Lame

[ctpangborn · 3/10 · 14 August 2021]

Started out as a big murder mystery, "What are the cars going to tell us" they say. Well by the end of it we couldn't even tell what direction the cars went into the water. Oh, and one theory was that they tried to push start one of the cars and they went too far and went into the lake... A WOMANS HEAD WAS IN THE TRUNK! IVE PUSH STARTED A CAR, THERE IS NO DECAPITATING FORCE INVOLVED!

Bullitt bs

[wilsonkeithe-70991 · 1/10 · 7 February 2021]

You guys are full of it. That can't be THE Bullitt car.#1...there were multiple cars used.2 that car in your show was the camera car that sold at auction.3. Chase car was rendered undriveable as the left shock tower was collapsed at end of chase. LOOK AT THE CLIP.

annoying

[robo_uncle · 1/10 · 29 September 2021]

They need to find some guys that so lame. They make out like some big story which ends up being completely lame and could have been told in 5 minutes instead of fake mystery they cant solve.
