(TV Tonight, Thursday, October 1st, 2009) Science has reruns of Junkyard Wars. This is somewhat bittersweet as the show that started reality/DIY hybrid programming also reminds us what a dearth of it we’ve had lately. It also planted the seeds of destruction when it abandoned teams of amateurs for teams of “professionals.”
