Velocity has decided that showing Edd China actually fixing the cars and showing what he does isn't good television.

They're just going to make the show into another wrecks to riches.

I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Edd and Mike, both super nice guys. It was no surprise that Edd is a tall dude, about 6’-7” I would guess. What did surprise me wa that Mike goes about 6’-2” and only appears average height in comparison to Edd on the tube.

Growing up as a mechanic, even for me it was fun watching Edd work on the cars.

Ed

or I just liked the name ;-)

Just one of many reality TV shows that stretch 10 minutes of content into an hour of air time. Only dumbing down the audience can lead to people liking a show like this. In the olden days, if a show like this wasted people’s time showing 10 minutes of content over an hour’s time, nobody would have watched it.

My favorite gimmick for reality TV — not one used by Wheeler Dealers — Is to repeat the last few minutes of the previous segment after each commercial. So you watch the show from the top of the hour for 10 minutes. Then endure 5 minutes of commercials. Then from time 15-20 minutes, it is a repeat of the last 5 minutes of the first segment, and then you get another 10 minutes of new content. Commercial. Another overlapping segment. Repeat. You draw 25 minutes of content out into an hours air time with only 15 minutes of commercials, with all the repeating content throughout the course of the show.

I hate reality TV. 99% of it stinks, is stupid, is insulting, or is offensive. TV is worse than it is ever been despite having 500 channels.

Just damn. Edd making short work of problems others wouldn’t dare attempt was a highlight of my Velocity Channel viewing. He needs his own show. Job done!

That sucks.
I agree with Edd, if they cut the how to sessions, I’m out too.

Noooooo that’s sad. Can’t have wheeler dealers without Edd. Velocity won’t be able to replace him. I have actually saved the episode for my 01TT..

The only like similar shows on repairs become a non-working white males and morphing into diversity non-workers. Just like education, jobs, government funding, etc.

This show premisis is for a DYI savings which is the Edd’s portion.
