    I'd say that we take all reality tv out back and shoot it, but apparently it wouldn't do any good in this case.

    Great, another "reality" television series that explores a Texas Based Armoring Company (One that took advantage of Americas fear of being attacked by the Islamic Terrorists to pad their bank account) and it now wants to show how it's really a "Family" based business that's all about how they run a business, how they run their home life, and how good it is to bring up their faith.

    What a bunch of bullshit. Isn't there enough of this crap on television now? TLC is especially heinous in promoting this "entertainment". OCC has just about lived out its usefulness, John & Kate Plus 8 is tabloid fodder now, and don't get me started on the Duggers, a family that is so procreative they deserve their own zip code.

    As someone else stated earlier, why do they still call it the Learning Channel? And to think, this is what Newt Gingrich held up as an example of they type of television that should replace Public Broadcasting. The Discovery Networks have long since stopped broadcasting quality television to produce this and other countless hours of fertilizer. No wonder I rarely watch anything on cable any more. #armoredcars

    @UDMan: The haven't called it "The Learning Channel" in at least a decade. They substantially changed their brand in the late 90s because there's no money in having an education channel.

    BTW, there's no obligation to watch a show if you don't like it. This isn't my type of thing at all, but I can think of lots of people who are probably interested. No doubt I'll be forced to listen to my dad recount anecdotes from this show.

    Is reality TV really that much worse than most of the scripted television that gets made? #armoredcars

    Don't most of these armoring companies keep their armoring technique very guarded so as to minimize the armor being compromised and vehicle vulnerabilities being exploited? If I was a high-ranking official who had done business with this company previously I'd be shopping for a new ride that isn't made in a factory that essentially give video tours to TV audiences an hour each week. #armoredcars

    I'll bet you $1.98 the worst driver is some entitled rich kid with a cellphone in her ear, a latte in her lap, and her head up her ass. Somehow it always works out that the combination of daddy's money buying Sweetie's car, daddy's money paying for Sweetie's electronic connectivity, and daddy's money paying for other distractions, always winds up adding up to a major pain in the ass for YOU. With Sweetie's fender up your nose.


    When you have to bust your own butt to pay for your own ride, you tend to be a bit more attentive to how it's used, maintained, and stored.
