Anyone watching "One Car Too Far"

[tbrend]

Two guys dropped in a Chilean rainforest with a 4 cyl jeep.

Crazy

Too bad every commercial will be Jeep

I am watching it. Wu is a puss. I'm tired of his bitching.

Not a bad program, but what are Wu's credentials? I must have missed that part. He can't drive worth a damn! Definitely hasn't off-roaded much.

I watched it; its mildly entertaining. To be honest though, the whole time I was watching it, all I could think about was the bad name they are giving to the OHV community. To the uninformed, it gives the impression that 4-wheeling is all about blazing your own trail, cutting down brush that is in your way, and generally driving like an idiot without regard to the environment.

Here in California (and many other states) the OHV community and our dwindling number of trails are under constant attack by those who believe that show pictures how we actually behave. I know it probably makes for boring television, but why not shed some positive light on the sport for once - show guys fixing problems on trails, educating others against destructive driving, and generally showing that our tread lightly practices are observed by the masses and not the few.

I watched the previews online a while back. I don't have cable so not going to be watching it anyway, but just the preview I knew right off I didn't like the Wu dude. I think they used him cause they knew he could break that Jeep faster than it would break on it's own.

It is DVRed, looked like a Jeep commercial. Until I saw the preview scene where the D35C axle broke an axle and it was seperating. Not sure Jeep wants to show that they broke one of there products. It will be interesting to see upcoming episodes if they leave that scene in or if Jeep pays to get that "cleaned up".

Exactly what I thought. I don't think it'll last long. When I saw the previews I thought it might be a decent show. It turned out to be more scripted drama than I care for. Plenty of jeep commercials too.

Just finished watching it. I didn't think it was a bad program. I agree that it looked like a jeep commercial. How cool would it be to have a show with a tricked out EB... Probably never happen...

 

[RIbronco]

Lame drama. Its a waste of a 60 minute time slot.

 

[FRKNSTYN]

someone throw Wu a steak..all he did was cry about being hungry while the other guy did all the work

 

[Dlish]

made for tv drama....one scene winching the jeep with synthetic line and the narrator states something about "pushing the machine to the limits, and if the rope were to snap it would fly back and potentially kill the guys"

 

[bbow]

Its nothing but a Jeep commercial. It would have made a better winch commercial.

 

[sprdv1]

Assuming it was on discovery channel....??

funny, cause a guy at the gym this morning, asked if I had seen this show..

 

[71massbronco]

I personally can't stomach any more "reality" shows. I can always tell when a situation is set up. Most people can tell. My wife watches the "Housewives of..." crap.%) Those shows make me physically ill, and I have to leave the room. Most of my time is spent here, or on the Bronco, or with the kids in the pool. I really want to get rid of cable, most of the programming is garbage. Rant over.

I won't see it unless it's on Netflix. I dumped satellite back in January and don't miss a damned thing...$80 a month for Dora the Whora...no thanks. TV stays off for most of the time now anyway.

Most of the shows were garbage, setup, scripted, etc. No need for extra drama.

pretty sure my wife can out wheel him, I guarantee my kid can.
I doubt I will be able to stomach another episode.

Think that's my next move.

 

[cactushorse]

Wu is a doosh. It is funny how they kept calling that *eep a "car" though. Show is sponsored by *eep and yet they don't call it one. ???

 

[Tom Dummer]

Its almost worth joining a Jeep site to see what they think of the "professional driver."
