Current U.S series is good. The big build is very entertaining!

Definitely glad we're back to proper Fast 'n' Loud and not that other nonsense that's been shown the last few weeks.

Loved the half bus. Lol'd at the almost wheelies when they took it to Sue's place.

I recorded The Misfits Garage after it but not watched it yet. What's the general opinion on it? Fast 'n' Loud wannabe?

I watched about 20 minutes of misfits and then gave up. Maybe it'll improve with future episodes, but otherwise it just seems like another one of those 'garage' shows that Discovery run, didn't seem as engaging as F&L.

Other than seeing how much Jordan and Tom hate Richard Rawlings it was quite average.

Yeah it's like FnL 'lite' with some hatemongering mixed in!

Watching it at the moment. Not great, everything just seems forced and copying the same format. Not as funny, and already wasted first 20 on rubbish.

You would guess that , he's in it almost as much as his ex employees and he supposedly became landlord so he can tip up anytime , looks like fast and loud part 4 to 8 to me

Might explain things...

I enjoy the FnL format, but mostly I like the characters. They just seem to fit the show, especially RR, AK and KC. I haven't even watched Misfit as there's no one in that show I have the urge to spend an hour with. By the sound of things, I'm not missing much.

It is pretty obviously a Rawlings product.

Tbh, AK is about the only decent one on there. The majority of them come across as Muppets, especially Dustin.

Recently started paying for TV, so I've been watching reruns of Fast & Loud (and other shows of the same ilk).

I have to keep reminding myself that it's not real, in order to avoid V8 and scrapyard envy. smile

I'm just waiting now for a Fast n loud versus Misfits build off.
It's bound to happen at some point.

I think they have a pretty good balance of people in the show. Yes they do muck around, but actually they all know there stuff and come across well when they are explaining technical work they are doing.

Misfits just seems to be trying to replicate, but none of the characters are interesting which makes it painful to watch.

I've just watched Part 1 of the C10 truck build.

Thoughts are that it's getting close to jumping the shark
  1. Thomas just happens to show up as Richard is about to buy the C10 from his BiL. Righhhhht.
  2. Richard buys an entire building to "win" at buying the truck over Thomas. Okaaaaay.
  3. Unreasonable timeframes. Again. I predict the truck will be ready on time because they probably started on it months previous and got it ready with time to spare.
  4. There wasn't even an advert break between Fast N' Loud and the Misfits show. It's basically a double-length show split into two teams. Kind of like Mythbusters having Jamie & Adam, and Kari, Tori & Grant. Only Fast N' Loud don't interleave it like Mythbusters did*
(* - past tense, given Kari, Tori & Grant have now been fired)

Having watched the latest US episodes, it's definitely back more to the cars and builds. Though it still has the outside business interests in and more of the 2 parter shows.
