So did you watch PowerBlock TV on Spike this weekend? What a joke. The new show, Search and Restore, was a bit not worthy of the concept. Granted the intent was good, taking a ride , putting it back to its once new or better condition, for a deserving owner.
Search and Restore , is Overhaulin, and Trick my Truck rolled into one, without the drama that Overhaulin has, but its the same show, with a different title on a different network.
Maybe Search & Restore will get better after the frost melts off that pumpkin or matures.
Courtney should feel at home with a retro version of her start in automotive performance TV. I still think that , that EBC Brake gal is being polished for replacing Courtney.
RTM has done a great job over the years. Much of what PowerBlock TV is, is what helped build the foundation for everything that has came after. When TNN, now Spike, first started airing PowerBlock TV , I have watched. I have been there from Steve Evans doing NHRA TODAY, to ShadeTree Mechanic, to Crank & Chrome, to Truckin USA which was the premise to Trucks TV. I have videos that goes back to those first shows all the way to today. Over the years I have seen good knowledgeable hosts get canned for new hosts that were not as talented , either with a wrench or TV personality, and some performance automotive companies can boast and be thankful to the PowerBlock for making them a success. Yet I wonder , could PowerBlock be made better? Yes. First , Spike needs to give PowerBlock the entire day. Where each show of the PowerBlock, could be expanded to full one hour shows. So you could see more detailed information,rather than just a mere overview.
Replacing Courtney Hansen with a more robust, believable host, would be a better choice. Someone that can really, turn a wrench. When they had Danica Patrick on there you could relate, since at least Danica could drive, and was on the Indy series of racing, you knew, she knew the bizz. I’d say today, get Jessie Combs, who used to co host Xtreme 4X4 , on as program host. Jessie not only looks hot, but can weld, and spin a wrench as good as any of the guys can.
Is there a bright light here? Yes, its called the Confederate Star TV Network, coming on board in the fall of 2012.
More on that in months to come.
But as far as this weeks PowerBlock and the hyped Search & Restore, in my opinion , no big deal.
Any mile, stay tuned,
