Shipping Wars Returns!

I could only last 1/2 of an episode. Where do these producers find these twits to publicly embarrass themselves?

 

A&E brings back popular trucking reality show after 6 years off the air

i beg to differ on the "trucking reality" part of it.

 

I seriously hope no one has that much time on their hands to be watching this garbage. Somehow it’s actually worse than that Storage Wars show and that show is Appalling. I can not do and will not even attempt to watch “Reality TV”

 

Well, not only are these concepts quite a stretch for a television show, but they're not even spontaneous and honest... the producers coach the hell out of everybody to grossly over-dramatize everything. The result is a bunch of foolish drama queens, and the episodes are almost all the same -- formulaic and predictable.

 

LOL. I remember Rush Limbaugh's take on reality TV. He said reality TV is really just scripted TV with non-union writers.

 

How do they always end up close enough to be bidding on the same loads?

 

OK so I just watched the first two episodes. I had to wait for it to come out on PirateBay. I may pay for parking, but I don't pay for TV.

It looks like they have ditched that silly staged auction motif. Also, it looks like they are charging reasonable rates now. I always had to shake my head at the little fiddly bits of money the cast on Shipping Wars would haul for. And so far I haven't heard those nuclear trip killing words "...or the shipper (meaning the carrier) won't get paid".

 

So true. I think TV truly died when the writers guild went on strike and Hollywood realized what they could make with half rate writers and even worse actors.

 

glad you said almost. If you watch the view you have to turn in your man card.
