Am I the only one?

I liked the show at first but I am really losing interest in it. He is a hell of a race car driver but a horrible father.It's gotta be a lot of editing to make him seem that screwed up.

You aren't the only one! It is getting boring! He hasn't got a clue about raising kids (girls or boys)! He seems like a lonely, desperate, rich, stressed racer.

Last night's episode (10/02) was not (IMHO) a classic one... Kinda slow and plodding. But I guess you can't hit it out of the park every time. It's funny that I used to think the episodes off track were more interesting than the on-track episodes but now I'm thinking the opposite.

Or maybe it's the episodes that feature Ashley are the most interesting - I think she's the real star of the show. Nothing against B and C - they just don't seem to have the same presence as Ashley.

I just think it would mean more if the story line was in order... 10/02 eppy happened before the Gator's... a couple of weeks ago we had the 4th of July, we had Chi-town before Kansas... but, that's TV...

I like the show! I like seeing his effort, despite his lack of tact and class, they show him trying. I'm watching society around me emulate desperate housewives and I'll take Force any day.
WE just celebrated our 37th anniversary and I would venture to say after raising 6 kids that on a given day, with the absence of the colorful language, which I'm not prone to, you could make me look worse than him at communicating.
This is a reality show. They snapshot the most sensational and the biggest conflicts. It's not for everyone so if it's not for you, change the channel, for heaven's sake. Maybe you can catch desperate housewives on another network?

It's exactly what it was slated to be.....a show about the girls with a little of their father mixed in, WHO just happens to be a prolific name in NHRA Funny Car's history. I really don't think that the over 30 crowd is their demographic. It's just got us because we love the sport.

And let's not forget how much of the show is scripted, set up, reshot 3 or 4 times, staged, etc., all in the name of good television. Some of the things that we see on the show have to be taken with a grain of salt. All in all, I'm enjoying the show.

OK, do you know what bothers me? <sorry, Alan...I'm gonna get it for this!> Alan Reinhart's voice overs sound the most scripted. He is so talented and entertaining when just letting it fly! I much prefer his impromptu commentary.
