How many dang towing reality shows do we need? I think there are at least 3-4 on various channels and even Jennifer Lopez produces one. Is this what this country has become? Is the TV industry lacking such talent that they lowered themselves to make this crap? I think a reality show on the life of a street cleaner sounds good about now as well!

I've noticed that even reality television has standards, currently they are the fact that you must have completed the 7th grade, missing at least 2 teeth, chain smoke, have at least 4 tattoos.

I did like Scrappers though... and do like American Pickers.

When does your show air? Channel?


is a "zing" appropriate here?

Wrecked was the only Towing reality show I've seen, and Speed canceled it.

Unless your talking about asset recovery, then Repossessed! is the only good one, the rest are pure garbage.

They are all fake as fuck.

They cost almost nothing to produce, have tons of negative drama and probably attract audiences that like the constant conflict, butthurt and dumb-assery.



Why not

Thanks for reminding me why I haven't had a cable or satellite for a number of years now.

A reality show about tow truck dudes?

This.





Almost all "reality" shows are staged to some degree, but the success of shows like Operation Repo has shown producers that you can make a show completely fake and most people will be too dumb to know the difference.

No such thing as reality TV or reality what ever. As soon as you stick a camera in some ones face they are not "real", they are playing to the camera.
