King of the Road

Its like Jackass, but with pro skaters. I can't get enough. Well, i mean it's primarily skaters pulling off sick tricks, while doing a jackass like skit every so often. Must see it if you like skating.

I grew up not a fan of skateboarding, never had any interest but this show has changed my opinion. Love this show so much.

If you want to see a group of men-children this is the show for you. Sure the skate board action scenes are okay but the people - all male - are soooo boring and spend all their time spouting ridiculous gobbledegook laughing at inane comments, especially when an injury occurs. What 's particularly annoying is the self-referential focus of these 20-something year old jocks. These guys seem to find it amusing to trash public spaces by running their skateboards along public handrails, seats, etc thinking nothing about who has paid to build and maintain them. Of course, these guys also don't give a toss about the incredible noise and inconvenience they cause because, hey, they're so freakin' cool only squares wouldn't get it. Of course, these intrepid individualualist free spirits don't think twice about going to a public hospital when they get banged up and, naturally dude, it would way uncool to wear a helmut. Give me strength.

I already saw next week's episode but can't review it yet so I'm just putting it on the series. This year there is a challenge to get married and the first marriage was shockingly fake. In the longest segment of the episode they go full Pawn Stars and insult our intelligence. I'm shocked that it took this long to get fake but I'm not surprised the fakeness is about gay marriage. All Viceland cares about is gay marriage and drugs. America is doomed.

This show has terrible production. A high school kid with an iphone could produce better content. The idea seems solid, but the production is novice at best.
