Watched the "new and improved" Foose version of Overhaulin' last night and I was not impressed. Foose can certainly design and build a car but he is no TV producer. I found the new show dull, missing the spark of the previous seasons. From the opening credits to the reveal the new show was missing excitement, I found myself fast-forwarding thru segments which I never did before.
Also, it seemed to me that the build was nowhere near as organized as the last seasons. Parts were wrong, missing (maybe they just edited that out of the older shows) and in general seemed like a cluster-f**k. Maybe that was because the build highlights shown resolved more around build problems then solutions. In another forum a guy who said he was a builder on a couple of builds more or less echoed what I saw on the episode last night. The normal sense of urgency in the build seemed to be missing as well. I did like the that they introduced the builders and said what team they were on. The Mustang turned out nice in the end; but why did they stick a T-10 4spd in it? Couldn't find a 5 spd?
I will still watch the show it's not the same. I never thought I would say this but last nights show had me missing the pranks.
