I like the aspect of the pranks on OH - but I realize they are more for the person who's car is being worked over rather than the entertainment value. Puts them on an emotional rollercoaster - but doesn't do much for the TV viewer. I just wish they would do their "reveal" with the actual car, instead of saying "you're on Overhaulin! - now wait a couple hours and we'll show you the car".
How cool would it be to show up to a place "upset", and then see some amazing FGF pull up? You'd probably drool over it a bit - and then when they tell you that it's actually YOUR car, you can fall backwards in disbelief. Eh - it's their show though - up to the producers. I'm just happy to see so many car shows on TV these days - go back 10 years, and there was no "Speedvision" channel, no "Powerblock", no Saturday morning car repair shows... the best thing we had on TV was on PBS, a little show out of Owings Mills MD called "Motorweek". Oh yeah, that show has taken off now!
