R U Faster Than a Redneck? (2013)
This show is awesome, I'm re-watching it.
This is one of the most entertaining shows I've seen, I wish they would make another season. To the guy "Tomlonso" who hates this show. His is a veteran ballroom dancer, per his other review. No wonder why he doesn't like this kind of stuff, ha-ha.
The modified muscle cars on this show are some of the coolest car you will see anywhere. It gives you some good ideas on what to do next to your own car.
Some of the redneck drivers don't seem all that good, especially since they are running at their home track, but you have to give the inferior import cars a chance somehow.
Robot Combat League (2013)
Good entertainment value
This show is likely much less scripted than any other reality crap on TV. As an engineer I enjoy seeing the robots operate and the carnage incurred during the fights. This is the FIRST SHOW OF ITS KIND so take it easy on "herky jerky" and "they move weird". These robots cost an insane amount of money to build, no amateurs are going to be able to start this kind of show without a network funding it. I eagerly wait each week to watch it and give it an 8/10. They could do without the staged fireworks, but they are probably just based on an accelerometer on the robot most likely to indicate to the viewers when a hit was delivered so they do have some meaningful use.
