    OCC Whiskey Tango Foxtrot???

    Anyone else still following this?

    I'm a little bored by the whole thing, but after following for so many years I feel a little invested in the whole thing.

    Good Lord! Both sides are sooo blind. Senior's sycophants are sickening...I hate them all. It's almost a Greek Tragedy.

    However, Junior's blindness to how his Father's single-mindedness helped to keep his all-over-the-map undisciplined discipline on the straight and narrow (and was a big part of his making a name for himself) is mind boggling.

    Seriously, if they would just get rid of everyone else and go back to where they started, they would be much better off.

    The only person I really respect in that whole outfit is Rick Petko. If he breaks one way or the other...or bails out completely....that will tell me all I need to know.

    The show just does not have that "keep me there" quality anymore.

        I agree with you fellas..they sacrificed something along the way.

        It's not fun or interesting (in the same way) any more.

        It was always about Junior's designs and Senior's keeping things on track. Either of them thinking otherwise is sad.

        I'm pulling for Junior for no other reason than Senior's decent into "my well-being revolves around you all making me feel good about my decisions...and I am willing to overlook the fact that you will say anything to make me feel good as long as I sign yer paycheck" is just so obvious and sickening.

            Yea, it's not fun anymore. I've only seen one episode since they came back on the air as Sr. vs. Jr.

              I watched the 1st 2 episodes of the new format and gave up. at a high level the clash between a father and son over how to run the family business should be interesting but I think both of them have been under the camera so long they are too busy playing up to it to actually get anything done. it seemd to be like a bad divorce where both sides just go about their lives wishing ill will on the other - pathetic and sad

                I know the lawsuit is legit but how much of everything is just drama for the show? The money is all in the family anyway. Lets see where this takes the show? If they get cancelled how much you want to bet all the legal stuff disappears?

                    Never been a big fan of reality TV but liked this show in the beginning. It had a nice look at the conflicts that happen in family businesses all the time. It lost a lot along the way. It was no longer about the family but more about the individuals. I jumped off the wagon a long time ago. Now I watch Pawn Stars and Pickers. At least I have something in common with both those shows. I've actually picked up some things that I normally never would have given a second look, and made some money on them, because I saw them on those shows. It's almost like an entertaining tutorial. I was never a motorcycle guy.
                    It's not a doll it's an action figure.

                      OCC will go the way of the dodo. SRs inflated ego will be his downfall.

                      Paul JR Design has been releasing some sweet bikes. I see good things in his future.

                        Senior is sick. You can tell how sucken in his face is. His arms are just hanging skin. He's gone downhill fast.

                          Haven't seen the new show yet, but from what I see here I probably won't enjoy it. A shame cause I used to love OCC

                            It's pretty sad, Thomas.

                              Yeah, Rick and Vin were always the Dudes that amazed me. Rick is just a fabricating pro and Vin is a quick-study and jack-of-all-trades kind of guy. It was always a nice combo of Junior's outside-of-the-box designs, Rick and Vin pulling it all together...with their own contributions to a fluid work in progress, and I can't discount Senior's single-mindedness to the task at hand, but I always hated his flying off the handle at any little thing. He got it done, but it was such a bad way of going about it that it made all of this inevitable.

                              Seriously, given his anger issues and fragile ego....is any of what we see now surprising?
