Yes, much better than I expected when I saw the name. The nice thing to me is that they are really honoring the patriarchs of the hobby, not simply promoting existing shop owners. So many times these shows seem like thinly veiled commercials.
I enjoyed the episode where they reviewed the history of SoCal Speed Shop and interviewed Pete Chaporis. About 12 years ago, I was in LA and phoned SoCal to see if I could tour the shop. They were closing for the w-e (Fri afternoon) but Pete invited me to come over on Sat and he would let me in and give me a tour. Got there on Sat, Pete showed me around for a couple minutes and then went to pack up some parts for shipping letting me wander around and take photos. Couldn't have been a nicer host.
Great show IMO
