I've been meaning to post my thoughts on this for a while and I suppose it's a bit after the event now, but still...
Basically, there seemed to be a sub-category of those reality/documentary television series that (in my sphere of awareness, at least) was initiated by 'American Chopper'. It was then merely duplicated in 'American Hot Rod'. Now, although I liked those programmes for the vehicles involved, I didn't really have any sympathy or connection with any of the people involved, so I never really made a point of following the shows. However, the one variation that I did - very briefly - find compelling was 'Ice Pilots'. I think it was just because some of the exploits in that were almost insane and the grumpy boss in that instance was just so eccentric and didn't play to the cameras at all.
So... has anyone else got any other examples of this sub-genre and maybe got addicted to some of the above?
