I really like the concept but I didn’t find the show as entertaining as I thought I would. The segment with the rocket powered Impala took about 40 minutes of time when it could have been a lot shorter. Did we really have to see them search for the perfect car to buy? Did we really have to see them search for the right kind of rocket? Did we really have to see them modify the car from scratch? They could have cut down the segment to 20 minutes and still given us all the important information.

I have to admit that I didn’t really care for the hosts either. All in all until the show becomes a bit more polished I don’t think I’ll be watching. Which is unfortunate because as I said I found the concept to be interesting.

I have actually not seen this show, but I want to. They are currently in production for next season, which begins in September.

Oh, _bump_, BTW.
