It looks like it’s the end of the road for American Chopper once again. The Discovery Channel reality series will wrap with a four-way bike build-off special, titled The Revenge. It’ll air live from Las Vegas on December 11th.
In a statement to EW, Discovery’s Eileen O’Neill said, “After 10 years and 233 episodes of incredible, riveting reality television, American Chopper will be ending its run. This series was one of the very first family-based reality programs on television. Special thanks to Pilgrim Studios for over a decade of great producing. The Teutuls have given us really innovative bike builds and real drama since 2002. We wish both Orange County Choppers and Paul Junior Designs the best.”
American Chopper began on Discovery Channel in March 2003 and later moved to Discovery’s sister channel, TLC. The show was canceled by TLC in February 2010 but, six months later, it was announced that the Teutuls would return as American Chopper: Senior vs. Junior. The new version premiered on TLC but then moved to Discovery halfway through the first season.
What do you think? Are you sorry to hear the news? Do you think the Teutuls will return one day? Who’s your favorite?
that was de best program I hope Paul jr. coming back
I got a charge out of the show but enjoyed Jr’s. integrity. Also, the creativity to execute some difficult builds. Sure it looked like there was a lot of “bolt on” parts, but you have to think that stuff up first. I would like to see Jr. come back w/his own show, and maybe get a little deeper into the build and how they actually make their parts. All in all, the shows were alright.
since the last show we do not wathc Discovery any onger. The seem to have lost their way with their programming!
Discovery Channel treat Asia viewers like nobodies. This season we had three or four OCC reruns, one showing the dead dog resurrected for the fourth time. No promo’s this season. I used to watch, with some mainly non-English speaking friends, essentially to pick up modern steel fabricating tips. I am now the proud investor in a water jet cutter, a laser cutter and we (partners) have a rip-roaring business. Another company bought the water pressure machine that is used to take out the wrinkles from bending tubes. The use of plasma welding equipment was learned from OCC and now we… Read more »
Who ever reads this knows the show.
They had ups an downs. There all doing fine.
I wish the show didnt end. An wish it comes back.
People can talk crap all they want! But SR and jr know how to make money.
If they come back with a show I will watch just like I did for last 10 years.
But I know me wrighting this don’t mean ****.
I am sad to see this go. While it has had a good run, there are not that many half-way decent reality shows. I would much rather have American Chopper stay than Gas Monkey Garage. Then if you factor in all the other shows that continue such as, The Kardashians, Kate (from Jon & Kate), all 3 or 4 Real Houswives, all the tow truck shows, etc… This is actually a great show compared to all of those. There is not too much on TV that I can watch anymore. I don’t want to see it go at all, but… Read more »
