Auto/Biography

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).

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.

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.

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".

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.
