A few years ago, I was in the hospital for almost two months. Nothing else to do, I started watching 'American Chopper' and 'Sons of Guns'.

American Chopper was a soap opera set in a motorcycle shop.

Sons of Guns was a soap opera set in a gun shop.

As I understand it, a lot of these reality show production crews urge the cast to drum up the drama. I guess because they think it will make for a more interesting show. I personally don’t need the drama, just watching how the bikes were made was entertaining enough for me. Also, I understand that is what put the Robertsons (Duck Dynasty) at odds with the a&e channel. They refused to create fake arguments etc. because that is not who they are.

i agree- and if i’m not mistaken, The Waling Dead is a now a soap opera set in zombieland

When you realize that every one of these shows, and I mean all of them, are 100% scripted, they lose their appeal.

Yes, they both were, and I watched neither one. I do have a Red Jacket AKM that was built by the guy that quit and went to work for Rifle Dynamics and it is a very nice piece. I had it three or four years before the show started.
