the short lived one where they built da vinci's old inventions was kinda cool

I miss Junkyard Wars. The spinoff shows that followed were not the same.

I miss the British hosts as well. They were so fucking classy.

Engineering an Empire.

They don't build stuff on the show, but it's a show about building stuff.

I am starting to like Holmes on Holmes

mostly for the calling out of shitty contractors and electricians and plumbers

4/7/2010 10:51:02 PM

^^ YES.

The building shows have really fallen off lately.

I used to enjoy build it bigger, but it's like they ran out of good things to follow

4/7/2010 10:55:47 PM

what was the one where they turned cars into like weird ass machines to do a different mission?

4/7/2010 11:18:56 PM

Modern Marvels is my favorite even though it is not necessarily about building stuff other than a few episodes. Renovation Realities is great too even though I'm not sure if it fits this thread either.
