Categorized, inclusive of YouTube content:

Fav 3 "car" shows..
Top Gear UK - Clarkson, Hammond & May reruns
Jay Leno's Garage
evo

Honorable Mention...
Mecum or Barrett Jackson auctions
My Classic Car - despite commercial content

Guilty pleasures...
/DRIVE
TheSmokingTire
Shmee150

Racing Series...
F1
ACO/WEC
IMSA

Generally, don't care for fabricated drama of unrealistic deadlines, personal conflict or subjects being "victimized". Also have a Worst of the Worst category, but refuse to give them even bad publicity. My $.02

1, Chasing Classic Cars – Although Wayne has a mild case of short man’s complex
2, Counting Customs – Even though Danny believes he is 17 and secretly thinks he still has a chance to become a rock star
3, Barrett Jackson and Mecum auctions - I record and can watch these for hours

While we are at it.
Movies – Smoky and the Bandit 1, Bullet, Vanishing Point - need I say more.
TV - Rockford Files, Adam 12 and ChiPs - Seeing the 70’s cars in the background

The worst part is that it's the same damn 6 commercials and promos over and over. Then when they return to the show, they show the last 5 minutes over as well. Sometimes you see the same clip 4 times.

power nation takes the top 4 until the trio from TG get their act together somewhere. TGUK is (was) my favorite show.
detroit muscle
engine power
extreme offroad
truck tech

then gearz

then the auctions
mecum
BJ

then whats my car worth and chasing classic cars come in.

I leave the drama shows for the women. Cant stand most, its like watching the bachelorette. they have no value at all, although I catch that one with richard rawlings on occasion. hes kinda funny.

that guy that does the mopars would take one to the nose if he spoke to me the way he does his team. and the one in norfolk has no customer service skills what so ever. he's so proud of that fact he uses it as a tag line in his comercials. SMH

I saw a Canadian show about 20 years ago that restored an old Mustang. Every week it was a solid 30 minutes of technical and hands-on information. No sass talk BS, no close up pics of two jerks arguing, no infomertials on how a air filter will add 175 HP to your car-just a very informative show. Unfortunately, I have no idea what the show's title was.

Perhaps it was Dream Car Garage?
