Pinks

So I still don't have cable and I do a lot of hulu and other online TV watching...

I was watching a few episodes of pinks... Sometimes I think that show might be scripted... But anyway, I got tired of looking for something better to watch. I found a matchup that sounded cool- an 85 thunderbird vs an 80 fairmont! I was like "yes!"

Never was I so disappointed to see that BOTH of the cars had chevy motors in them. *sigh*... Wadda joke. *SPOILER* The Tbird blew a head gasket and died.

+1.  He actually gets annoyed when the racers try to have some fun.  He wants them to be all intense for some reason.

What happened to make them not welcome? Just the overall gayness? Or did they abuse the staff? I noticed on a lot of episodes the cars kept blowing radiator hoses and the track team had to keep cleaning the track, and people kept talking smack about how "bad this track is" (blaming their poor driving skills on track conditions). I wouldn't want them to come back either.

it was a good show when it first came out, i used to watch it religiously.. but you can tell it's rigged somehow and i'd much rather see 2 equal cars run heads from the tree, not a lame arm drop.. they're on a track with a tree and scoring system for god's sake.. why go back to the barbarian arm drop?

Because that bald headed dude has an ego as long as the drag strip itself and needs that camera to be focused on him every chance he can get.
