I thought this thread was going to be about your failing memory (i.e setting the parking brake on your jeep so it doesn't roll in the lake and remembering how to spell you own name). It might be Alzheimer's.

I was kind of leaning the same way. You forgot the 4x4 Cobra/Jeep hybrid.
JBB, nothing wrong with you at all with that show. I'm glad they have put it on. I need to start recording them, I get busy with the kids and forget to watch.

There's another show called Extreme Engineering and/or Huge Engineering. Something like that.
Two days ago was a show about building the Palazzio hotel in Vegas. It's impressive what they do. 33 truck loads of cement a day. They bought all the steal up front before the build because the price of steal was going to go up and could save millions on the project. Everything is kept off site do to the limited space on the strip. I guess this is a huge logistics problem. Pretty cool.
Last night was building of a 800mph land speed record breaking vehicle with a 10,000 hp jet engine. The rims could only be made by this one guy who is a master engineer and the brakes were some quasi new technology and everything put into it was cutting edge. Another cool show.

the best part about all these shows to me is learning about how something is done without doing the work. I could watch someone else work all day!!

Jen and I watch that show all the time. I always wonder how much money they make off that show. All you do is go to someones work and film, edit, narrate, and put it on air. :)

Mark Tuksberry? It took me a while to get used to him. The new chick has more inflection but she is not as good, IMO.

The Speed channel use to have a wide assortments of cool stuff, but what I want to watch (the reno air races, Oshkosk's experimental/ homebuilt airshow) they have been cancelled a while back.
Seems NASCAR has taken 75% of the Prime time. Did NASCAR buy speed vision?
I'd have to say my favorite show is "Dog Fights" on the History Channel. Check this like out
