American Guns

Watching the first show for American Guns. .  .

I gotta say I had high hopes for the show after watching what they did with Sons of Guns. . . . not going there. . . .

So far the guns are fun, but they seem more interested in showing off his wife's rack and putting the daughter in tight cloths than doing the show.  They just come across as blow hard's.  The Dad talks too much and wants to tell everyone how to do their jobs. ..  if they can't do the job why did he hire them?  He also seems like a show off.  I don't really want to be talked down to.  I know guns, don't talk to me like I am an idiot. . . and what the heck are the motor cycles all about????? I thought this was a gun show. 

He does go out to do a deal buying guns from a rancher. . . seemed OK, and a bit of long range shooting but just not that interesting.  Really turned me off when he is lecturing (that is how it came across) the guy about his own guns. . .  if he is a real gun nut I be he already knows all about the history of his guns. . . you want to educate the viewer why not both talk about them?  Again, just not that likable - he seems a show off, he is the guy that has to brag and show how he is better than you or has better toys. . . like the helicopter ride to the ranch. . . .

As for the kids, the son seems OK, but the daughter seems like a Paris Hilton want to be walking around with her dog.  Don't get me started on her sales. . . she seems to sell on looks, not skill. .  .  If this show is going to be about tight clothes and boobs it ain't gonna last.  Spoiled kids don' tmake a great show either. . .

The show seems OK so far but the folks are not likable.  I hope it gets better.  I am going to give it one more show and see how it goes.  I gotta say, I love Son's of Guns and was hopping this show would tide me over to the next season but I am just not sure. . . . .

I remember when Discovery used to be about science and learning stuff. And History Channel used to have some ... you know ... history.

And get offa my lawn!

(Watched a few clips on their site and wouldn't waste my time on the show.)
