TV Tonight: Rainy Days and Mondays…

(Monday, October 2nd, 2006) Tonight we’ve got a new Biker Buildoff — thank the gods of steel and thunder!  We’ve also got a new American Hot Rod, but does anyone still watch this show for anything but juvenile entertainment?  Each show we see Boyd piss everyone off and manage a project so poorly that employee morale hits a new low (as if that were possible).  Can this really be the man who gave Jesse James and Chip Foose their respective starts?

All times are central.
