Southern Chopper

Is anyone watching this show right now on Discovery? Man, this is the worst. What a bunch of foul mouthed, uneducated hillbillies and a major and obvious rip off of American Chopper. They didn't even try to change the format. Last time I watch this crap.

Yeah I watched it last night.... it was soooo fake. The boss would act like he was pissed and start yelling at everyone but it just seemed so rehearsed.

Show was such a ripoff. Very disappointing. Sounds like the same guy was writing the lines.

Mike: Maybe all those shows are trying to make up for "Archie"

I agree on all acounts...Garbage...I did not even like the bike they put together. American Chopper is much better. I loved the great chopper buildoff also, there were some bikes on there that I liked even better than OCs designs... Except for the guy that won 'Indian Larry' I did not like his designs and he turned out to win it all, shows what I know .

I love american chopper and the bikes that they make. Southern choppers was the worst. First of all the bike wasnt even that nice. All the people on the show looked like they didnt have running water in thier homes. I look forward to American Hotrod. That looks like it could be a winner

Milwaukee Iron has been building great parts and bikes for many years. Not very good actors though. I don't think the chopper style suits them. Their shop is not in Wisconsin.

No .. Milwaukee is just a Harley reference ... these guys were located either in VA or W. VA ...

I got a kick out of watching ... Old wierd Gary is pretty good with the bare metal, and they ended up with a pretty nice bike. Not bad for 2 weeks ....

And yeah, it's a ripoff of American Chopper ... but who in the entertainment business has the balls to try a fresh idea? Everything's pretty much a ripoff of something ...

Indian Larry builds rolling junk wagons IMO ...

It's curious that this show is on the same Discovery channel as American Chopper. I wonder if Paul Sr. is getting greedy on contract renewals.
