I literally need to watch sesame street to start my IQ up again. Who ever thought this would be a good series should get off the drugs. It seems that the more 'reality' based car programmes that are dragged out the lower the actual brain cells needed to watch it. I watched the first programme and all I can say is WHY? Why did they need to make a half-arsed trailer that actually didn't do anything. Why didn't they just tie the car to the loader? Why did they dig the snow from the back wheels of the car for the loader but not the first garage 4wd, Why did the idiot drive over the back half of the tow truck when that was the part they needed? Why did they make this show. I ticked spoiler and I don't know why. Sorry guys but these Canadian Rednecks need a wide berth, go watch something else.....anything else.

Every scene is staged. It is easy to spot scripted scenes. Air boat with a broken fan screen and wood blades obviously they stuck something in the shroud and broke the fan and bent the wire. Fresh wood on the blades. Guy comes out in a bath robe and it already had duct tape on it to hide advertising. Horrible show that you must watch understanding that is is less real than the Brady bunch. A truck pulled off the wet road where no one would drive just so they can pull it out? Just watch if you think Beverly Hillbillies is a true story. The small dud is the clown of the show because he fits a typecast they tried to develop.

This show is clearly scripted. The people are real but they have help from the production crew. When the old men go scavenging for parts it's amazing how just the right part shows up hiding under a tree or a pile of junk. In season two they found a Crown Victoria front end with new tie rods under some junk at the yard. Possible? - yes. Probable? - no, especially with all the preaching about how scarce things are in Labrador. It's like the Alaskan Bush People preaching about how scarce things are in the bush while they run around with new tools and new clothes. (also a Discovery Channel program...hmm)

At least the characters are characters and quite charming (it's got to be the accents, eh?). This program is not to be taken two seriously. It is somewhere between The Red Green Show and Second City. It's like Bob and Doug MacKenzie had been binge-watching Vegas Rat Rods and reruns of Alaskan Bush People and said, "we can do that, eh". The show is entertaining. Just don't take it too seriously, you hoser.
