Not surprising. Show has been nothing since Paulie and Mikey left. Shame. I enjoyed seeing the work Paulie came up with. Senior was good for not much apart from over inflating his own ego.
I'd like to see Paul Junior designs do well as well as Mikey and his art. |

I dont have pay TV so my exposure to the show has only ever been when I was in hotels or simular and it happed to come on, I didnt mind it and quite likes some of hte fabrication that took place (yes it was very hyped up) but its a shame to see it go, I caught an epasode jsut before Christmas and I noticed that Jr and mikey wernt there and thought it was lacking alot so I'm not suprised

Pretty sure jr is sueing sr. My understanding was that Paul jr. had a big share in the company when times were going well for them. Say he just wants more money out of spite.

Oh no you are correct.
"The father/son team behind the hit TV series American Chopper may be heading to court. Paul Teutul, Sr. has filed a lawsuit against son Paul Teutul, Jr. over who has control of Orange County Choppers, the family company made famous by the long-running reality show. Paul Tuetul, Sr. claims his son misappropriated assets and took part in "competitive business activities" that damaged the company." |

Show went downhill fast when his boys left. Sr is a complete douche and made the show hard to stomach. The only highlights of the show after the split was when Jr was pumping up Mikey about his brilliant art (which looked like a 4yr old drew).

I have the first few 'toolbox' DVD sets, and those first few years were the best.
Interesting, I didn't realise that the Paul Jr and Mikey were gone either... |

The was more bitching and mouning than bikes getting built. Same as American hot rod but we know why that show finished. Even tho they didnt show it on overhauling I would say Chip foose would be a ***** to work for. Not sure about Barry white show cant emember name of show but that is one of my best. AHRod was to much like OCC but cars.
Only watched couple biker build offs Im not really a bike man. But do like some chopper styles. Shows only show what they think will get us to whatch. I didnt know that the 2 sons had left OCC. Last edited by wulos; 09-02-2010 at 05:15 PM. Reason: removed unnecessary pottymouthing |

Use to be a big fan but as many have said not the same without the Boys, that Rick dude who fabricates has some skills though, Assuming the business continues away from the show he could always get a job with Vinnie and Cody in their custom bike shop.

Not Surprised Mikey left, seemed like he got treated like crap for a long while. Where's the episode where everybody blows up at each other? That would make for interesting viewing

Senior is a classic example of roid rage and alcohol poisoning. I guess the wheel has turned full circle = all three sons alienated.

Thanks for the info left...
I used to watch American Chopper all the time but then it was much of a muchness. How quickly we all become bored. I do like Overhaulin' Chip Foose is great at what he does!

My favourites are the US auction shows...Million Dollar Auctions, Barret *& Jackson, Mecum auctions
Bored of everything else...tired of Chip foose and his standard shaving of bumper bars, hiding door handles and Baer brakes recipe with EVERY car |

Umm, correct me if I'm wrong, I don't think I am since I have two box sets, but American Hot Rod was Boyd Coddington not Chip Foose.

Chip Foose used to work for Boyd but they had a falling out when he went out on his own then got even more worked up when chip took his awesome painter Charlie Hutton.
