Garage Takeover Show

[KCHOTBOAT]

Did the garage takeover show get canceled? I have been looking to watch a rerun of the complete show of the one where fridge was painted with flames.

I put it into my MythTV box and it didn't find any episodes. It used to be on at 4pm Eastern on Discovery....

I think it has been cancelled. That show was 10% garage and 90% soap opera anyway. If they are really as incompetent as they appear on TV, I wouldn't let them anywhere near my garage. Most of the shows seem to involve turning garages into play rooms and bars. There's one where they took an awesome garage with a lift and turned it into a disco. Used the lift as the DJ booth. Made me want to shed a tear for what could have been. In another they took nuts and bolts and embedded them in epoxy to make a workbench surface. I'd be cursing them for the rest of my life as I try to pick up the hardware IN the countertop instead of the hardware ON the countertop.

I may have a copy of that episode with the flames. I'm not sure. Don't know how I would get it to you though. I'll check.

I believe it may have been the one with the hardware counter top. I agree the soap opera did bring the show down.

I had this show scheduled on my DVR every night I would watch a new episode and if it was a re-run I would watch it again. I loved the charachters, it made the show entertaining. I liked the drama my other half used to roll her eyes after she watched a couple episodes she was hooked. I am very disapointed I plan on calling Discovery in the morning. I thought that they may have moved it. However it looks like it was canceled The show gave me a lot of great ideas too.

Hey SANDOVAL, I admit, I watched it too. That doesn't mean I can't complain about it! I'm not quite the addict you are, though. I don't watch the reruns, and I won't be making any irate phone calls. And KCHOTBOAT, I found the episode. I have it recorded as a 612 MB mpeg file. That's a low resolution, but good enough to watch on my computer. Is there some particular part you want or a certain thing you want to know? Or do you just want to watch the whole thing? It's a little too big to send, even with broadband. I'm limited to emailing 20MB files by my cable co.

I question if they really know what they are doing as well. Now take the episode with the drag bikes. they buy them a compressor and run air lines. Alright cool, they install hoe reels, but they run the entire garage with hose, no filters, and I dont recal a regulator, and they give them a 30 gallon oiless portable deal. If these people are truly mechanics, they are gunna have a hard time running tools for other than a second or two at a time. It just seems like they have no idea how to do it right. Woudl it have killed to run 10 feet of copper tube and install a filter and regulator for the sake of thier air tools?????

That's just eye candy for the relatively uninformed. "Ooooh...an AIR COMpressor!"

I missed the last part of it when they showed all what they did to the garage. At the time I wanted to see it to get some ideas.

Member jrichards was the one who painted the 'fridges in that episode. You can read some of his old posts on here (he only made a total of 5) by searchin for "garage takeover" in the forums.
