I'm a fan of this show but it seems the latest series (2019) has lost its way a bit. It seems more serious than before and less fun?
First up I can't stand that Russell guy. Literally he is that typical American reality TV (if I shout a lot then it's entertaining) presenter...all he does is look smug, cross his arms constantly and goes everywhere with Richard.
He isn't even helpful with car builds. Instead of giving advice he just points out what is going wrong. Literally what does he do? I know, he must of bought shares in the show or invested money into it, as there's no way he is a good co presenter. It's like be read the rulebook on trying to be larger than life personality but he just comes across like a 'look at me I'm great' individual. Sack him pls.
Also not many episodes tbh and you can tell it's getting a Hollywood slick production now so it's not really for the car guys.

Started out great, focused on the cars and a little bit of extra b.s. Sadly it seems to be more focused on the deal of the car and clip shows now. I don't not care to watch guys sit around and comment on video clips already available on you-tube. Whether its real or staged listening to Richard 'deal' and try to get a car for nothing is annoying. I understand that's the point and how you make money in the business but telling the firebird owner that the cars are only worth 70k then later telling a buyer they are worth a few hundred thousand same condt is ridiculous. Again, probably just for TV but obviously there are some salesman out here that think he is an American hero (read previous post). Poor choice of words, especially from a salesman. Id rather see little to none of Richard, more of Aaron and more of Dennis, but of course producers like his persona on TV. I'm sure he is not as unlikable in person. All in all, love the show because it's in Texas, end result of cars is great, and other shop guys are fun to watch, but because of the direction the show has gone I certainly will no take time out of day to tune in. Record and watch later so I can fast forward.
For all the haggling and worrying about money etc, Richard apparently receives $50k per episode from Discovery and if celebritynetworth is even remotely accurate, he's also worth about $15m, so he's scarcely on the breadline.
So to retain the Discovery contract, he needs to keep the viewer entertained and that doesn't happen by looking at the intimate aspects of a car build and the shop usually farms out work that they can't do anyway. So you don't watch the show to take notes as to what to do for your own '67 Fastback restoration job, no you watch the show to see the interaction between the people and be entertained. Christie & Sue are the real stars of the show. Christie never takes a backward step in front of the boss and Sue is just hilarious, "why you always bring me junk?"
You get the usual formulaic car show things, ie., check out the car, detract its worth, haggle on the price etc but the episodes zip along at a good pace and sometimes throw in some very clever spins (such as the Smokey & the Bandit episode) and the few cameo's the show has along the way.
Richard is actually quite an astute businessman though & the show has followed the growth of Gas Monkey from a rented space at Phipps Automotive to his own premises, to opening his own restaurant & then taking Tom Smith, his most engaging employee/star (outside of Aaron), "firing" him, and hey, look, Richard's producing a show called "Misfit Garage" about Tom & Jordan's rival set up, "Fired Up Garage", who, surprise surprise, are renting the space at Phipps' once more....
Richard's no dummy and as long as he keeps me entertained with whatever show he has, I'll keep watching and laughing.
If you want a serious car show, I'm sure they exist somewhere but this isn't it.
Now, where's my beer assistant?

I use to like this show ... But I don't watch it anymore ..Not sure if anyone else has really paid attention but.. out of all the shows I have not seen A Hispanic or a colored person in the show !! "All" of his employees and All the people he hangs out with on the show are all White !!! All those people he has working for him are all white !! Seriously .. And as for Aaron He thinks way too highly of himself ! I also think they rip a lot of people off !!They tell the people they buy the cars from that their car isn't worth what they want.. Then when they sell it oh..its a different story !!! And last but not least. I really hate when they have a really nice ride that's is worth a bunch of money and they Mess it up by putting that Dumb Gas Monkey Logo on it !! Why spend all that money on a ride and put that on it??
Rawlings must get paid each time he calls for a Lite beer.
Love the old cars, but not a fan of Aaron's spectacular visions which usually would have been better off left alone. To me the guys in the garage and support builders are the hero's of this show.
Reality my ass! Wish I had friends that would pay such inflated prices for the crap they turn out. Outside making money from the show itself I really doubt making money as depicted.
