...is "Junkyard Wars".

Me and and my two young boys catch it every week. They absolutely love it. They learn about how things work; I explain what a transmission, suspension, etc. does. I usually explain to them the advantages / disadvantages of each teams contraption.
Then the competition at the end, Great stuff!

This is the most innovative show to come out in a very long time, to me anyway.

Been watching Junkyard Wars for a few weeks now. Still haven't seen the episode where they build airplanes. Still trying to figure out how they are going to make junk fly

Last season was the Gliders.. they did ok.. but all in all.. too heavy to fly.

This season it is not as good of a show because it is now Americans instead of the Brits.

The host is a typical pretty boy that knows nothing about engineering or mechanics, unlike the Brit host last year.

The co-host girl is the same, at least she knows something.

Great show all in all. I love it.

Well at least its not from mexaco, then the hosts would be a bushy eyebrowed puppet and a and a half naked bimbo, at least our bimbo is clothed.

Besides give us a break, british people host and narrate EVERYTHING....gotta love the accent

Gotta agree midnight, I liked the British guy better.

Another example of a great british show was "The secret Life of Machines" whatever happened to it?

then you would love 'battle bots' - that show rules! people make little robots that go around hammering lancing and buzz-sawing each other until one is dead or time's up - real heady stuff man

Whose Line is It Anyways is on the top of my list.

Closely followed by LEXX...

and Babylon 5.

And dont forget CELEBRITY DEATHMATCH (muahaha)

The DUNE movie made by the sci-fi channel was damn good too.

Hehe Tac, a while ago I was shot down by a N1K jumping who'd been jumping all over the sky for 5 minutes. I yelled over channel 1 'Rook N1K, you're more warped than a LEXX fan..'
