Spike TV

I don't know about the rest of you but I am sick of them showing this James Bond crap and not showing Trucks and HP TV. Even those two shows have been reruns lately. Why can't we get Shadetree Mechanic back? Why do they put a stupid import show on? I am going insane!

Shade Tree Mechanic is now called Two Guys Garage on the Speed Channel.

Spike is a decent channel- the reruns are getting pretty thick lately.

Even Most Extreme Elimination Challange is re-running now.

Hopefully, they will get some new shows soon.

Well,I'm one of the Spike TV critics.I think they ruined a good network when TNN was sold or whatever happened to make it Spike TV.

I was just remarking about a month ago that spike tv has a james bond marathon twice a week, and they act like it's some kind of special event. I mean every weekend all they play is james bond....i never even liked those films to start with. I just wish they'd play mxc all day long.

Shadetree mechanic was an ok show, but i never liked hp tv or trucks or high rev tuners or whatever, those shows are just advertising platforms; they never give any useful technical knowledge.

yea I loved monster trucks, areana trucks, truck and tractor pulls, dukes of hazard, and all the AMERICAN CAR AND TRUCK SHOWS, i cant stand all this import crap and low rider crap (like ride with funk master flex) TNN was the good old boys network till something happened! now all they play is dumb movies and import shows. I watched momster trucks every week for over 12 years straight. Maybe we should put our gunracks in our big ford trucks (to show them we need business) and get our dixie horns in tune and convoy down there and make them change it

Two guys garage is now 'Crank & Chrome'. Nothing like the old 'Shadetree Mechanics'. Even 'Two Guys Garage" (sounds like that old Saturday night live skit 'guys on film') was better than the latest one.
