DVD Reviews of American Chopper the Series - First Season

DVD Review: Nice First Season to begin with
Summary: 4 Stars

Well, the DVD is excellent to begin with the show. Although the season doesn't include the Pilot episodes (Jet Bike & Biketober) neither the Mickey special, it contains the first 13 episodes of Season One. It includes main menu, episode selection and special features. Unfortunately for people interesting in other languages, it does NOT include any subtitles(spanish,french,...), but it includes closed captions. Nice graphics, nice intros!

DVD Review: American Chopper Season One
Summary: 5 Stars

Have been a fan of American Chopper from day one, and getting to see the first season as many times as I want is great. A must buy for any American Chopper fan from the beginning.

DVD Review: My students love American Chopper DVD's
Summary: 5 Stars

I have used the American Chopper series in my Management 101 class for a couple of years. Rather than have students role play various scenarios, I pull out sections of the escapes of the guy's at OCC to discuss issues and concepts of management and supervision. Both entertaining and informative.

DVD Review: KEEEEP BUILDING
Summary: 3 Stars

I really like this show. And since I didn't start watching it untill the middle of the third season, I bought the DVD. However, upon consideration. I may buy all of the seasons offered since shows made for the Discovery Channel are unlikely to show up in syndicaton on some other network.

DVD Review: Orange County Choppers-Season One
Summary: 4 Stars

What can I say, I am addicted! The personalities of Paul Sr and Paul Jr and son, Mickey, along with their valuable employees (Vinnie, Rick, etc.) is quite entertaining. Not only do they build "dream" bikes, but it's fun to get a glimpse of a successful business and its daily operation and the adulation that it has brought them. An American Dream, that's what it is. As an owner of a small business myself, I wish I could get away with yelling at my daughter, the way Sr yells at Jr, and not have her talk back to me in a disrespectful way. Hats off to Jr......if you love motorcycles, buy this series, fun fun fun!

Description of American Chopper the Series - First Season

Welcome to Rock Tavern, New York, home of the AMERICAN CHOPPERS, the legendary custom motorcycle shop of the feisty father-and son team of Paul & Paul, Jr. Teutul. The highest rated show on the Discovery Channel, AMERICAN CHOPPER captures the excitement , setbacks and triumphs of Team Teutul, as they race against the clock to fabricate and build a mind-blasting battalion of motorbikes and choppers especially designed to kick some serious butt in the nation's hottest trade shows and races. Contains all thirteen episodes from the hit series' first outrageous season.

Let's just say Dr. Phil wouldn't last 10 minutes with the squabbling Teutels of Orange County Choppers in Rock Tavern, New York. American Choppers, the wildly entertaining reality series from cable's Discovery Channel, is a hybrid television show blending serious family dysfunction with gearhead razzmatazz and deadline tensions in a motor shop (as with that other Discovery series, Monster Garage, where nonconformist engineers work frantically to build unique vehicles). Choppers concerns generational feuding between two highly talented designers and builders of one-of-a-kind, sometimes beautiful choppers (no, no--don't call them motorcycles), a father-and-son team who happen to share the same name. Fiftysomething Paul Teutel Sr. is the walrus-mustachioed owner of OCC, a boulder of a man with a sharp tongue, ironic sense of humor (he's the first to laugh hysterically when he and his son, simultaneously backing out of OCC's icy driveway in a macho display of speed, collide their trucks) and passive-aggressive tendencies. Even to a casual viewer, Paul Jr., OCC's Chief Fabricator and Designer, is clearly the target of his dad's mid-life anxiety over creeping irrelevancy. But the younger Teutel has a nasty streak, too, especially a working knowledge of how to make his father feel isolated, marginalized, even unloved.

Most of the 13 episodes in this boxed set find Paul Jr. immersed in some kind of expensive project, building a spidery display chopper for a big trade show in New York City, a NASCAR-themed bike for a special event, or a Firebike to honor the fallen firefighters of 9/11. In each case, Paul Sr. hovers over his son's shoulder, observing skeptically, criticizing one or another detail, barking about the schedule. Junior fights back, attacking what he perceives as the old man's cluelessness, mocking his unwanted efforts to collaborate. It's ugly, but it's also compelling and somehow even fun--perhaps because both men are so transparent in their complementary issues. Not every episode is full of friction; there are lighter moments and times of emotional release and bonding. Late in the season, when Junior's brother Mikey gets involved in the family business, an added layer of sibling rivalry brings a whole new dimension to this unusual psychodrama. --Tom Keogh
