Its funny because I saw it as a joke from the get go. Sure now its about the drama (or should I say was) between Paul and Paul, but really what did they ever build ? Ugly un ridable pieces of crap that in the beginning were put together by mail order parts. With their new found success they bought some nice equipment like the water jet and cnc machine, so no they can actually make something.
I dont think anyone "in the know" ever thought they were building anything that took any kind of talent . For christ sake my mother in law used to watch the show, so what does that tell you about their audience.

I havent been here long enough to see the evolution, but Ive never gotten the feeling eroids is just some guys acting out scripted drama and building crap.

Just keep it lighthearted and fun with a little Duck Dynasty
