Gurney does alot with SpikeTV's lineup. Curious as to what channel it might be on. confuse

If you look at their list of shows they do there are a few that air on Discovery and/or Destination America (Suns of Guns is one of theirs). Since Jr actually has a production company working on his show, and Sr is just looking for someone, it seems pretty clear Jr's will air first. We'll just have to wait and see. Hopefully it will focus on bikes and not be like when Jr was doing dog toys and boutiques. That just wasn't very interesting.

I wonder if Vinnie, Brendon and Rick will be involved?

Jr already did a Sons of Guns crossover. It didn't help him keep AC on the air, I doubt that it would help him keep a new show on the air. For that matter, Sr's Deadliest Catch crossover didn't do much to help AC either. Most responses on the old Boards about any crossover shows weren't all that enthusiastic.

It was one thing for the show to air 42min commercials for corporations, as long as we got to see the design and build process. When the show started to focus on shenanigans (hi Guapo) and network shilling, the show suffered and the fans turned away. Overhaulin' does well, not because they focus on fabrication or pranks, but because there is a balance that still allows us to see how the concept of the build becomes reality.

Once AC stepped away from the builds, and focused (almost exclusively at the end) on the family drama, the heart and soul of the show faded away. Yes, we needed to follow the story of the break-up of the father/son relationship, but the show failed to stay true to it's original concept of documenting that relationship while simultaneously documenting the progress of the fabrication of custom motorcycles. It was the dual dynamic that drew viewers in, otherwise we might as well be watching Desperate Mid-wives of Lancaster County. (Why does that rubber glove go all the way up to her elbow ? )

Maybe they can have some of the other gurney productions crews onto their show, like SONS of GUNS episode with the chopper gun.... Hmmmmm That would be so cool... Or maybe Haff an Ton could find a rare harley or indian part for Junior to use on a new chopper.

1Moparsick0 · Guru

Nah Jake I meant like using Action hunters or one of the other gurney productions crew to tie in... I'd love to see haff-ton dig up storage gold for Paulie to add to one of his upcoming builds much like Pick-Pawn-Restore went for one Monday night on History with the 57 black Widow clone.

Isn't that how Sr started? oh no that's right he would just take a standard Harley and throw some catalog parts on them and give them a new paint job. You cant expect a boss to do every nut and bolt on a bike can you El? At least he does a whole lot more then just sit around with his feet up on a desk.

El guappy seems to forget because of one to many cage matches that Junior was the one that put them on the map, with his designs. Sure OCC was started before Junior, but without taent like his son, OCC would still be in the basement of Seniors old house, an maybe if he was lucky he'd still have the ironworks to supply the steel for his bike building hobby.

ghostmonkey · Guru

yeah I forget about the damage the cage has had on El lol

ElGuapo · Guru

OCC was successful due to the success of Senior and his Iron Works. Senior had made so much money, that he could indulge in his hobby full time. How many people can do that???????????

ghostmonkey · Guru

No El the Ironworks was successful and yes gave Sr time to do bikes in his basement but there was no OCC until Jr was called in, that's why they were always listed as co-founders. There was no success at OCC until Jr started designing and building bikes.

ElGuapo · Guru

I think you are right in that Junior should be thankful to Senior for setting him on a career path. That is the point of change for Junior. And SEnior was the one that set all that in motion.

Who would have known that Junior would be like Frankenstein and would turn and attempt to finish off his creator, Senior.

ghostmonkey · Guru

And Sr should be thankful that 1 of his already tiny nutsack's was able to produce a son like Jr who after being put on the path made OCC what it is, or should I say what it once was.

Ouch!! Ghostie, that's hitting below the belt..... Member.......Marquess of Queensberry Rules... Eh.. I know you are grappling with the likes of Guapo an he plays a little rough, but in the end Gauppy is getting what he wants by you losing your conposure...Okay mate..

Yep.. El.. Occ was sucessful from the assets of OCIW. Mainly the assets and steel from the ironworks went to supply OCC free steel. Robbed one company to feed the other, much like he was going to do after the foreclosure plans came to the light an trapped senior in the loans he secured for his Garage mahal.

Coxie:"There was no success at OCC until Jr started designing and building bikes."

That "talent" came from the Conquistador.

So your saying it was all thanks to Senior, no cred for Paulie. That he did nothing to contribute to the success of OCC an American Choppers Success.

Why is is seem always the Seniorphiles never give any credit for the son contributing to the Success of OCC.

I'll tell you what.. I give crdit to Senior for Starting OcIW, an Starting O.C.C., maybe somehow we could agree on a %... I'd say much more than the lousy 20% that he got from Senior in the divorce. Since the Trademark style of the O.C.C. logo is what the fame of OCC was profitable, and the 65% theme bike designs coming from the Junior and maybe 15% of Jasons Etch-a-sketch-paint-by-numbers-drawz-it-on-the-puter efforts an the rest is the fabulous metalworks by Rick Petko. So that is what I can admit is the success of OCC...

So that leaves what about 20% of Senior an him busting balls, harassing his sons, bullying his employees... If there ever was a case of Their boss abusing the employess an recieving none of the credit for thier work. Senior would lose in the court(an has since the show is not on anymore) public opinion.
