'American Chopper' Canceled

[triplebq]

TMZ is reporting that TLC has canceled its popular reality series, which followed the comings and goings of the Orange County Choppers' bike shop, and will air its final episode this Thursday, Feb. 11.

That show was good then went bad and then worse . I am glad it's over with .

I would bet it would be back after the family gets all back together. The new american chopper. Would be good for ratings, I say this is all planned out. HA!!!

They 'jumped the shark' when Pauly left.

Doesn't sound too popular

Its amazing they get cancelled, and vinnie and cody who left the show, get their own show. www.vforcecustoms.com , maybe mikey and jr. can work there. and Sr. can ,as said on pittmasters, "cry me a river, then build a bridge and get over it".

Quit watching a few seasons back. I rate it right up there with John & Kate...not that I ever watched that farce.

I haven't seen it since before it left the Discovery channel. I'll sleep soundly.

I would rather watch them Crab Catchers, just wish they had a chef on board to whip up some dishes.

About time,...

In the early days I enjoyed the show, I stopped watching a couple years back. Then I see the breakup and started watching again. With 2 sons in their 20s I could relate a bit.

It's amazing seeing how much money the Teutuls made from that show. When Sr. related that the business was close to broke, I realized that the multiple new shops (and their current big beautiful building) and all that high tech expensive equipment wasn't paid for by the business, thus the custom cycle business wasn't supporting the expansion and equipment.

Maybe there will be a new show on custom coleman bbqs built by Jr.

we might be a little off but we ain't stupid!

I had wondered what happened to Vinnie... thanks for sharing the link..

Another waste of air time gone.

Now that is a reality show!! And I will also say you gotta be a real man to do that day in and day out. Sure building bikes is manly and cool, but once Jesse James' show and the OCC show was hot everyone was a chopper builder...can't be that hard to do lol.

And besides, the crabs those fellas catch are very useful...I don't know how useful a 12' chopper with a bunch of junk hanging off of it and an inability to turn a corner would be LMAO!

I don't buy that going broke crap for a minute, even when you are getting 8 million dollar buildings and buying million dollar machines left and right its offset by one months t shirt, toys and kid bike sales, they even got there own energy drink!, its the same as Jesse James, West Coast Choppers would have to build and sell 10 bikes a day and never make another t shirt in order for him to make as much on bikes as he did on royalties.

The cause of their demise is all about "GREED"!

If you ever saw an episode of Paul Sr's personal shop, it's loaded with toys and tools.

He's made comments on the show about not leaving a penny to any of his kids.

So where is his legacy? In Reruns!!!

IMO, Paul Sr built the franchise and he can do whatever he pleases with the profits. It's his sons that are the spoiled divas. They got whatever they wanted and still want more. Jr's design work is junk so far. He's better off opening the boutique. Let's see where the sporty little girlfriend is after the money is gone.
