Salvage Dawgs

Mike and Robert run a salvage business and they're great fun to watch. Always joking around and very funny. Mike is like a bull in a china shop in his approach, Robert more methodical, but it's clear that they work well together. Mike is also fairly creative and short bits of time are spent on projects that he designs and builds.

For a lot of folks, this show would be worth a watch but I had to stop half-way through the second season. I couldn't stand to see so many historical buildings being torn down. Not Mike and Robert's fault, they just salvage the good stuff out of them for reuse and repurposing, but it just made me sad to see these places mowed down "in the name of progress". I'm more into shows that save historical structures, not ones that destroy them.

Anyway, if tearing down historical buildings doesn't really bother you and you enjoy "salvage" shows, this is a great one to watch. Mike and Robert are a hoot.

Never in my life have I seen such clumsiness and amateurism. My heart bleeds when I see these people destroy beautiful old pieces because they don't have a clue what they're doing. Especially Mike has a cavemanlike approach on 'salvaging' stuff. For God's sake: don't give this man a hammer! There's not a single episode where unique pieces aren't wrecked due to misuse of tools and lack of planning. If you're into bloopers, then this is the show for you. If you love and respect vintage and antiques: don't say I didn't warn you...
