Not real fond of the Monster Garage, Monster House is really 'different' and I find myself watching that on occasion. I do like American Chopper though I am not fond of their 'style' of bike, I am a fatbike fan preferably on a properly triangulated frame, I do appreciate the quality of the fabrication and the artistic value of the bikes. I know the guy who builds their frames and swingarms in Oklahoma City and he does good work, but he only does softtail and hardtail work so is of no use to me. The kid, Justin, who does the paint is one of the best I have seen in over 30 years of bike riding. I would like to see a show dedicated to his work. I think that Cody has a work ethic that is to be admired.

I am hooked on American Chopper!! Everytime I turn it on, the dad is praising Cody, the son is spurned, and Cody isn't talking. But I love it

I'm addicted to Monster House!!! I also usually watch American Chopper just because the bikes are so cool looking (even though I'm not a motorcycle person). But Monday's on Discovery are really one fo the best nights on TV.

I'm hooked on American Chopper. It shows that these guys are hard working smart guys (shit, I couldn't begin to learn all that shit about building bikes), and not just "meat heads"

I love American Chopper it's a really cool show i love the emotions that big paulie goes through. In every episode paul jr. pisses him off and then at the end he just totally blows him away.

Monster garage is OK.

I'm a big fan of American Chopper just because I get a kick out of all the family feuds.

OMG! I LOVE Monster Garage!

First of all your probably thinking what does a sorority chick know about building and fixing cars and such. Well my dad started out as an apprentice in a machine shop and he can pretty much fix anything I manage to break *lol* And when he got tired of it, he started to teach me how to fix the shit I managed to break. So know I have managed to fix small things on my truck and do regular mantance, which helps since home is so far from school.

Anyways my fav episode would probably have to be the school bus turned into a pontoon! And Jesse James in my book is like a God! My mom always laughes at me when I'm watching it, but dad and I like it, plus we get a lot of good idea of how to fix things, and also the paint jobs. I'm trying to convince him to paint flames on his airplane when he done building it

My boyfriend loves that show where the father and son make motorcycles. He makes me watch it. The doorman just bought a Harley Davidson. BF is threatening to buy one too. I will never understand the appeal.
