Resurrected Rides

Here's what I wouldn't do. I wouldn't go into watching this show expecting to experience television worthy of trunk fulls of Emmy nominations (see what I did there?) You're not going to be able to draw comparisons to Masterpiece Theater. But you can expect a fun, turn-your-brain off and feel-good car restoration show. It's fantastic, honestly. And even though it's not winning a bunch of Emmys it's clever, well-made, and has a great cast. Chris Redd is a natural host. He's hilarious and kind of impish (I mean that in a good way) and seems to genuinely care about the participants, and the restoration team. The car restorations are so cool. They are over-the-top but they look awesome. The Mazda in the last episode is insanely cool. Super smart, playful and entertaining show. My suggestion: sit down after dinner and just veg out and enjoy some nice, entertaining, feel-good tv.

Starts off good with the first episode. The car owner is someone who could really use the help. Everything is going good until the shows host just demands they add a "pizza shooter" to the car. It was so dumb, a pure waste of time, and not something any car owner would ever want. Luckily they didn't actually attach it to the car, but it was still an incredibly stupid detour for the episode.

Second episode, the car owner is a spoiled kid who isn't even old enough to drive yet, and is about to get his license. He has no gratitude, no struggle in his life at all, so it's just a big gift to someone who totally does not deserve it, and it's hard to watch because it's so cringey. I'm all for helping people who need the help, but gifting a spoiled kid a pimped put car? No.

Couldn't bother to keep watching after the first 2 episodes. Show has no soul to it, like Rust Valley Restorations did. But at least they do some repairs to the cars, unlike pimp my ride.

I feel that many are unfairly judging this series, it's not a 10/10 Emmy winning show, but it's not supposed to be.

It is very much 'Pimp my Ride', but comparing it directly is unfair. Firstly, many(like myself) are guilty of remembering PMR through rose tinted glasses.

Secondly a lot are being negative against Chris Redd and likely comparing him to Xzibit who, let's be honest, was the only decent person involved with PMR when the real stories came out, so he has biggest shoes to fill and deserves a little time to master the role.

Thirdly, you can't hammer the people who work on the cars too much, they are not used to being in front of the camera and need time to get used to it.

It's a light hearted show and enjoyable show to watch, I'm sure those involved will improve as it continues and deserves a chance. Hopefully, unlike PMR, we don't hear about horrible attitudes and bad goings on behind the camera.

Used to watch Pimp my ride back in the day, so this show does have the same vibe and feel of the original show. But with the new team of expert resuactors, that not only keep you entertained, but also know how to bring back old cars to life. As you watch the show you get to meet the team members better and what expertise they bring to the table. Chris Redd, does a good job in bringing his style of comic relief to the show, as well as his fun and goofy self to entertain audiences.the writing and production of the show is well done. Every episode is a masterpiece, you get to see from start to finish how a car is resurrected.

I see hate about silly stuff they do to the cars. However if you did like pimp my ride like I did at 10 years old. You know it was never about the overall restoration of the car but to make it unique. It's cool I just wished they do it with more poverty stricken people or places. I noticed have cars are old but no rust n decent shape, I got a driveway full of worse cars and these people mostly look to live in nice neighborhoods and houses. But nonetheless it's a decent show really entertaining. I've always loved Chris Redds stand up so that helps having him as host . But again it's not like Roadkill or other legit car shows out but still worth the watch people that hate knew what it was b4 they watched so no need to hate on it these shows have a preview for a reason.
