End of the Road: American Chopper chopped, fat lady sings

It’s been a long time coming, but celebrity gossip site TMZ reports that American Chopper has finally been canceled. A spokesperson for TLC, which picked the show up after its first few years on The Discovery Channel, said, “The Teutuls will always be a part of the Discovery family and we congratulate them on a tremendously successful series run.” The final episode will air February 11 at 9:00 PM.

It wasn’t tough to see this one coming from a mile away. The hit show has seemingly been just a shell of its former self since two of the original Teutul trio have stopped speaking to their father and disappeared completely from the Orange County Choppers shop.

Recall also that Paul Teutul filed a lawsuit against Paul Teutul Jr. for over a million dollars a couple of months ago and it’s easy to see that things have been going south for quite some time. Finally, now that the crew has built customs that run on everything from gasoline to ethanol, diesel, compressed natural gas, electricity and even a hybrid, there just don’t seem to be any more alternative fuels left to conquer.

Its really about time. I am sick of Paul SR. not giving any credit to his sons for the business growth. No one would give two craps about OCC without the show and without Paul Jr and Mikey on there as the current episodes have proven. I hope they can reconcile their differences but I won’t hold my breath.
