I agree with most posts on here. The show is so bad. I was very excited to watch the program and was completely let down. I might give it one more chance but agreed the show is BAD!!!!!!!!!

The last episode featured a parade lap of a C7. The seemingly five minute long shot mainly focused on a camera pointed at the passenger, who whooped a couple of times when the driver gunned it. Worst episode yet…
A few of these Velocity channel shows renewed my interest in cars, but I'm done with this one. At this point I think I'd fast forward the DVR if they were doing an episode on my car.

Either they don't understand who their target audience is, or it isn't us. This group represents a huge knowledge base on all things Corvette, alpha to omega. The show seems more geared to someone who saw a Corvette once and kind of wondered what all the hubbub is about.
To capture this group, the show will have to share images and information that are not readily available other places. If it is available other places, hard core Corvette enthusiasts already know about it and have probably been discussing it for a while.
In short, they need to up the Corvette IQ of the show.

Caught it tonight, rehash of some old Motor Trend TV footage. Most of the show was old news on the sink hole. I keep waiting for something new and interesting like a show on the C-7 Z-06 or the NCM track. surely it will get better.

I have watched all of them and fast forwarded through most of the last one. It frustrates me to no end to glimpse all those beautiful cars in the background while the camera focuses on the person (not particularly beautiful) talking. AAAARRRRGGGHHHH!

The only thing that I found mildly interesting about Saturday's show was the fact that the wife and I attended the NCRS Kissimmee show in January of 2013.

Lets face it, find another show on TV that talks all about Corvettes and gives you private collections you never herd about, but they get there camera in there to show you what people own, and car shows you will never get to go, but get the idea what that show is all about.
Yes it has commercials and lot of them, but there Corvette commercial, go watch TV show and see the most boring commercials that doesn't even interest me to listen to them.
I can't believe I said all that, but go find Corvette show on TV.

Better than not having it, I understand plugging the sponsors. They pay BIG $$$ to support it and they deserve their time on TV.
I do think this season is much better than last season

I have found that after fast forwarding through the commercials and 'infomercial' segments, it only takes me about 11 minutes to watch. It's a long, slow, painful 11 minutes, but at least it's about Corvettes (mostly).
The one episode that was simply Chevy YouTube videos being replayed was hilariously bad.

Show is beyond disappointing, these posts sum it up well. Painfully slow, 2/3's of it is advertising. It's just as painful fast forwarding through the commercials as content is all but missing. The recent episode of watching the woman in the passenger seat make faces and noises for 5 minutes every time the C7 driver sped up was ridiculous. Last episode for me - lots of good car shows on.
