I thought it was decent. I'm no critic but i'm particularly critical of Jeep shows. But I can put on 'two hats'.Originally Posted by BonesWK
I can take the show at face value for what it is, entertainment, and pretty much enjoy the show looking from the outside in.
But on the other hand, knowing the challenges associated with trips like this, I can look from the outside in. One of the main problems I have with shows like this is that it will always attract the intermediate-novice Jeepers. A truely experienced Jeeper traversing these distances ob obstacles knows the weak points of his/her vehicle. Consequently, they know what spares/back ups to bring, and the tools to get the job done. So, when something breaks down and the 'actors' are like "oh crap", and the show picks up 'suspense' - in the back of my mind, i'm just thinking... "ur stupid for not bringing 'x' and 'y' with you.
Although not a show, I really like some of the videos up on project-jk because they go through hell, crap breaks, and they fix it on-site. They are expecting things like this. Servicing or repairing drive shafts, pinions, and gears in the middle of nowhere... stuff like that gets me all hot and bothered because that's the kind of itemization and use of talent that I LIKE to see.
Depending on what you watch and what 'level' you are at in your Jeep abilities is probably one of the good determinants for how this show has been received.
