Roadkill was awesome. But when they said always free, then changed their minds, that was the beginning of the end. I stopped watching after that. Especially when they killed DED! Greed!
I've been on and seen the backside of how the automotive tv shows operate. None of it is or was good unless your well known I'm sure and are able to twist the contracts to your favor. I haven't watched anything on tv since my experience with discovery channel. Everything down to the personality you watch is scripted Hopefully people will support the smaller UA-camrs that are fronting money out of there pocket those are the true car guys.
@@frizzellracing I wish that RK and RKG could come back to Utube. They are the essence of hot rodding. I don’t know how it could be done but I really wish it could be. Car Junkie started and slipped, then the TV show. I really liked Jeremy Wade fishing but something happened after the piranha kid had his face eaten off and he went towards a detective show, destinations to fish dried up.
David Frieburger and Motor Trend killed the magazines and then they killed the shows because the parts dried up for the cars people were into. There is only so much you can do with the LS and the SBC, and the Windsor. We watched vintage muscle and things changed.
The internet killed off magazines. No one was buying them anymore. I have friends in the magazine industry right now and I’ve seen first hand how hard it is to get sales in that area anymore
Freiberger didn't kill off anything!! If anything, he was a proponent of anything automotive! He was trying to use the internet to advance the automotive industry. What an uninformed opinion!
@ He was gaslighted into thinking that the digital revolution was the going thing. A lot of people were being left behind. I really enjoyed David’s direction of bringing everyone to the dance. All makes. He took his 65 F250 4x4 to swap meets. But he was so busy that the incremental changes were so gradual that the enthusiast was lost in the process that propelled the company. I don’t blame him, but it got too corporate. They took advantage of David and he became a little bitter about the direction of the business.
@@frizzellracing, this is about as accurate a statement as can be expected about print media. The Internet has killed off anything in print. Newspapers are dying. I live in an area where the oldest newspaper in the southeast exists. The Augusta Chronicle. It is suffering tremendously from the Internet. I used to buy car magazines and newspapers. Then I wound up with a bunch of magazines and newspapers that I didn't look at and wound up having to discard them for space. Times are changing and you have to change with the times or get left behind. I hate to see Roadkill go away, but UA-cam is the new media. Roadkill lasted 13 seasons online. Last and finally not least, everything changes with time. Supply and demand. The supply is there, but apparently the demand is not. I get most of my content from UA-cam these days. Yours included. I hope you can keep going. And I will subscribe to and enjoy the UA-cam channels of all the roadkill cast. It's all good!
@ while I originally said I disagreed with you, I will say I can see your prospective. I agree that it could be possible that it all happened so gradually that David never seen it coming. From what I have read and seen they did kinda AX everything without warning and just dropped the decision on them.
I'm glad we have your channel and looking forward to the FE build!
@@bigvanillasmooth6772 thank you for the kind words. I do my very best to entertain.
Roadkill Garage was my favorite show on Motor Trend. It will be missed. My kind of cars on that show.
I agree. David and Steve was magic together too
@@22vampyre RK Garage was my favorite too. Dulcich was the genius and played dumb.
@ agreed.
@@Bbbbad724 Steve is a secret genius. Honestly I think he’s one of the smartest guys on the shows.

I do wish it would have stayed UA-cam based and free.

@@HotRodGuyGarage I agree to a point. We shot a “pilot” for a show but ultimately I killed that deal due to some things they wanted.
