Wonderfully pointless, enthrallingly irrelevant, the Discovery
Channel's Monster Garage is a highly entertaining reality show about what
it takes for complete strangers to cooperate 16 hours a day, 6 days in a row
while re-tooling ordinary cars and vans into, well, really dumb but awesome
stuff. Led by a heavily tattooed and likeable outlaw named Jesse James (yes, he
claims to be a descendant of the original), each of the teams of mechanics,
designers and welders assembled in the first season's 13 episodes are faced with
such meaningless yet ultra-cool challenges as transforming a convertible sedan
into a glorified, speedy lawn mower, or turning a van into a garbage truck,
complete with a container-lifting arm that extends from behind a makeshift,
gull-wing door. |
