So basically they needed someone with design talent?

My question.. How does that fit going against the "Real Life" industrial designer??

Its funny how it is written, he didnt join the OCC team, the OCC creative team, the OCC as an employee, he was added to the cast.

I dont think there was anything creative involved other than taking a shot at Jr. I still think its more the COO that is against jr because he was the one that pretty much needed to give him a title and write a job description. Sr and COO seem to have a motive behind every move.

Honestly, the job description should have been, Someone with some motorcycle knowledge ( at least knows what parts of the bike are called) that sr can yell at when stuff does not get done, even if sr is the reason stuff is not getting done.

I think Jason turned a page with those three bikes and the rendering and printing of the dragon were pretty incredible. Not to mention the fact he gave a frame team (dont know if it was OCC or outside) some pretty intricate details and we didnt see any hacking on that tube at all to make the dragon fit. That center hub steering deal, I dont know who designed that, but even that case was a hit against the gears of war trikes cable steering.

I was a somewhat improvement in style over Pohlies Energy DRINK FUELED CRAZE drawnin's. The hot edge factor in the bikes seemed to be balanced with Senior's churn 'dem out fast as the trend allows us.

When is this new preview going to be shown on CMT = Country Music Television? We might watch; my husband might be able to stand Sr, and I might look over his shoulder every once in a while to see if I can tolerate it. Otherwise it's off to Duck Dynasty....

Sherry. Unless somehow you can find clips it's very difficult to find a showing until the roll-out for the Sept fall schedule. I myself even regret I didn't take the roll-out that serious because my distain for the Manufactured drama an another show conflicted with the preview (Container Wars, Storage Hunters, Hardcore Pawn.) An that is one I feel ashamed of since I didn't start getting into until left with a vacuum of great shows to watch.

Mop I think all reality show are now scripted; and I understand why to a degree. I worked in prisons for just short of 30 years; for most of the time I worked there it was the only state women's prison in California. I can tell you there was more material for movies and TV shows that came out of that experience than one would ever hope for. And even though I never knew what would happen when I went to work; it was like working on a soap opera, the majority time was routine and would put viewers to sleep!

I believe the ones that have a continuing story are based on incidents that actually occur/occurred and then fleshed out by the script. I'd rather watch Duck Dynasty than other shows that to me are worthless because the Robertson's are Christians and aren't afraid to show it. They appeal to me. However, I don't insist that non-believers watch the show. Force is not my particular denomination's belief; we believe it is up to the individual to choose, in fact the individual has to choose! I don't even believe nonbelievers would get it if they do watch it. My complaint with AC is that it started out to be a show about a family that built really good motorcycles and then devolved into a show that got worse and worse in bad behavior and attack of character.

You are right about a vacuum. I have noted that there is no real story tellers anymore. I guess that is why so many of the movies are redo's of old movies. I've been reading the mystery writers of the early 1900's; Dorothy Sayers, John Dickson Carr and Ngaio Marsh among others. They are books I read 30 years ago and I still enjoy them!
