The Teutul family is saying goodbye to reality TV. "American Chopper" has been canceled by Discovery after it decade-long run.
“After 10 years and 233 episodes of incredible, riveting reality television, American Chopper will be ending its run,” Eileen O’Neill, group president, Discovery and TLC Networks told EW. “This series was one of the very first family-based reality programs on television. Special thanks to Pilgrim Studios for over a decade of great producing. The Teutuls have given us really innovative bike builds and real drama since 2002. We wish both Orange County Choppers and Paul Junior Designs the best.”
The show was primarily based in the Teutul family's custom motorcycle-building shop -- Orange County Choppers -- in Newburgh, New York, and thrived on the tension between Paul Sr. and Paul Jr. In "American Chopper's" later years, the inter-generational rivalry turned into a feud that nearly ripped the family apart.
