C A R L T U R N L E Y | C A R L T U R N L E Y . N E T
Automobiles
Whether you love cars or s imply drive one to work every
day , automobiles have become a huge part of most
people 's ’ l ives . They ’re on the streets , in magazines ,
advert ised in every other commercial , l i t ter bil lboards
everywhere and , of course , are on televis ion . I ’ l l be the f i rst
to admit that a TV show about car might not sound
excit ing , but as the saying goes , don ’t knock i t unti l you try
it .
5. Counting Cars
Start ing off the l i st i s a good carshow for non -car lovers toindulge in–a gui lty pleasure forsome people akin to watchingPawn Stars or other real i tyshows . The premise of CountingCars i s s imilar to that ofAmerican Restorat ion–the grouprestores and customizes class iccars and motorcycles . And , intypical real i ty -tv fashion , theyargue and bicker throughout .Given the more “real i ty tv ”aspect , many car lovers won ’t bedrawn to Counting Cars , but i t ’sgreat lazy TV .
4. Fast N Loud
Coming in third in Ranker ’s l i stof the best TV shows about cars ,
the show ’s name speaks volumes(pun part ial ly intended ) to i tscontent . The premise i s the
norm for auto shows ; f indingold , beat up , run down and
otherwise junk cars andrestor ing them for a prof it . A otof the draw in this show comes
from the characters and theskits they put on in each
episode .
3. Overhaulin'
A new concept on the l i st !Overhaul in ’ i s as much pureentertainment as i t i s a carshow . The synopsis i s fa i r lys imple : the family or f r iends ofsomeone who ’s driv ing an oldjunker enl ists the help ofOverhaul in ’ to “steal ” the car (orhave i t towed by fake pol ice ,seized by repo men , etc ) . Then ,the car i s completelycustomized and restored andthe owner of the car i s surprisedat the end of each episode withthe return of their new car .
2. ConsumerReports
Yes , you ’re r ight , ConsumerReports i sn ’t a televis ion show ,
but the long l i st of videosavai lable on the YouTube
channel provides more thanenough video content .
Consumer Reports i s known forits str ingent and meticulous
reviews of cars with a var iety ofcr iter ia to determine each year ’s
best buys .
1. Top Gear
Did you expect number one tobe anything else? Top Gear i s along -running Engl ish tv showthat has spawned numerousspinoffs including an Americanvers ion . None wil l completelyreplace the original , though . Theconversat ional att itude aboutthe whole ser ies , the hosts ’hilar ity and the chal lenges ,races and specials make TopGear a must watch .
