Resurrected Rides

Immediately upon viewing this show is a Pimp My Ride vibe. The show is aware of the comparison. The episodes are cheeky and each car still gets an unnecessary item but usually not so far it can't be removed. Most customs are pretty grounded and useful. My rating is because it felt like a little nostalgia as well as few new tricks.

The team seems to get along well with one another. I hope that the balance of showcasing each member of the team remains and doesn't become the Don, Nelson, and Chris show. Maybe in the future could be a follow up to see what the people that receive the custom did with their vehicle.

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.

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.

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.
