81/?? Childhood TV Shows You Should Watch

Title: Wheelie and the Chopper Bunch

Seasons: 1

Episodes: 13

Run Time: 30 Mins

Original Air Date: September 7 - November 30, 1974

Synopsis:

The series takes place in a world of anthropomorphic vehicles and centers on Wheelie, his girlfriend Rota Ree, and a motorcycle gang known as the Chopper Bunch. Nearly every episode of the series focused on the Chopper Bunch attempting to outsmart Wheelie, despite their failed attempts. The show negatively depicted motorcycles and motorcyclists, and the Chopper Bunch typically received terrible consequences for their actions, which sometimes involved the police.

My Rating: 4/10

My Reasoning: To be honest, I don't remember much about this show. It's more of a vague memory. Which speaks to it's memorability. It's not a great show in my opinion. I also remember that I always thought it was strange, and something just "off" about it. It was like it was trying to be Speed Buggy but failed in doing so. Also, there's nothing wrong with motorcycles or motorcyclists. So, I'm not found of the fake they painted them in a negative light. However, I guess you kind of have to keep in mind the time period.

Anyway, you can check it out for yourself. Maybe you will like it, maybe not.

[psych---ologically-deranged]

idk what "podcast" means instead of "commentary" for "zero to murder in sixty seconds" but ok

Steve Franks, Jason Berger, Saladin Patterson

SP: Here is Shawn learning it's not about the bells & whistles, it's about putting your nose to the grindstone

Shoestring budges

SP: Shawn & Gus are, at any point, only seconds away from racing each other

SP: You can see my writing improves as the episode goes on

They really are too much like their current selves, & I kind of blame Gus's parents for that one. Let them look more 80s

School community centre that they let them use for filming. They have classes going on in there

You're right, shows DON'T have theme songs as much these days

Michael McMurray DP Mel Damski

Gave Tim & Maggie some good stuff to play

SP: I love writing for that car too

Woah they filmed in the kitchen of the river rock casino??

SP: I need to put Chelsea into every episode I write because that's my wife's name

JB: Sometimes you can look in the back & see a canadian flag SP: You can hear his canadian accent sometimes Me: isn't a canadian accent a lot like a typical american accent? (canadian as in, not maritime/east coast & american as in, not heavily new york or southern or east coast)

JB: Look at that shot right there, That's a sexy shot. SP: We don't see Shawn /moving/ on the motorcycle too often

Obscure Judd Nelson films Wheelie & the chopper bunch

JB: Drinking games, how many times do they say shop shop in the episode

It really was a warehouse by the train tracks JB: Not that I've ever been to a chop shop but this is exactly what a chop shop looks like

The dining room is the river rock dining room too

Yeah, that's true, actors need to be in each scene but they film out of order, & it's hard for the wardrobe & lighting people too

The boy cat episode!

"I call the big one Little Shawn"

Set design my beloved

"My writing is what got James & Maggie dating"

Wang Miranda!

Avion spray

SP: Shawn is on bugs bunny rules

This was somebody's house? spanish style house in canada? "they only let you use the guest bathroom by the garage" what XD

"their sense of massage is heightened"

what do you MEAN canadian accent? Newfoundland accent like irish? pei? nova scotia like toned down scottish? Do you mean cowboy-french in quebec? Real cowboy central canadian Alberta (the texas of canada)? Good rezzy talk? BC the california of Canada? canadians sound like americans to me, except americans say sh not st, shrawberry not strawberry, shtop not stop.

Gus without missing a beat just lands it

SP: Gus knows how to be uptight while also knowing how to be cool

JB: This is my car actually. I missed a counple of derbies.

The car was a funny bit

"fresh to death" actually fresh to def "the whitest park of wikipedia I could find"

They never want to do shows with animals or kids

"this police vest was taken from the set of Bad Boys II"

SP: I have a cavity & filling-free mouth, that's why Gus is based on me

Oh no yeah I heard it. Bin not been.

*arguing about what fish it is* SP: It smelled... JB: Caught by Corbin!

I had to do this for school. CB cut many of the fish himself, though some were by a double. A fish double.

*his shirt is the same colour as the tree behind him* & other times it matches the curtains XD

"Dule loves the "i'm about to vomit" look"

"always playing the dad"

Ok less commenting now bc I need to peel my bones

the frog has a name

*gambling between shots

"When I do smuggle drugs" XD

JB & SP *going out for a massage* "this is based on something that happened to you & I Me: What platonically going out for massages with a blind massage therapist & her only available slot is a couples session & one of you says yeah that's fine & the other says no thank you because the two of you are not in a romance?

Noooo they forgot some credits

So huge deal happening here and we do see it these people are becoming humbled no way they're out of control they think they're God Almighty it is crazy they're saying we built that bridge and all sorts of s*** we knew how to do it and they're just jackasses and they all look like Dilip... What's insane as we can't stand the attitude at all there's no way that we will let the sit we have to go out after people and we will. And we are. And they're running around saying it right now in town they say they won't stand it and stuff like that and they don't mean it and it start blabbing and these people are insane so we started to go ahead and issue warrants and we issued a of 10,000 warrants here and we are grabbing them all over the place. Nearest Giant numbers to their people trying to get in and they're getting cut down. And we had several other things happening one is we put on auction the Phat motorcycles dirt bikes and quads and tons of them and it's to sell them and to promote them and we want to see what the effect is and it's positive they were doing that with the Chinese bikes but the Chinese bikes suck and at the presentation we had dirt bikes all around us and street bikes doing stunts and quads doing doing all sorts of things burnouts and wheelies and windows and spinning around and we had them doing jumps on the tire too and the dirt bikes are going nuts they had a dirt bike track there and we had this big auction set up and we had fat the symbol everywhere and you can buy the fat ring thing so it's like a one big thing that says fat it really you could knock someone out pretty good with it it's metal it's solid metal and it says fat and it looks like steel and the letters are big and then we had one trailer the big huge fattened fat so it looked like balloon fat and people had tagged everywhere like during the night and we had one yesterday too a small one and it's fat all over the place and it's a Chinese name and he's part of the manufacturing maybe. And it's Chow fat is a character here and it's not he's not even Chinese it's Jason so there's a question as to his bike it is. And all sudden they're going out and buying them and they really should they can handle them they're lower and the fast and really they're mean these bikes are mean and powerful and they are in races so you have these auctions in their series of 10 and we broke into four just like you suggested 10 octillion each of the four out of one out of 10 and we sold all of them but everybody got their share and we were not selling to the clones we had to force them out and we got information from the clones they started spewing. They also mention what they do to people buy them and they're saying to our face we should get out of here and we'll rip you apart and that's what we do to you. And they ran and they said we'll be back and said okay we do that to you then so he followed them and we hit that group and it was a big one and we found another ones and tons of people are buying the bikes so he wants to do it with his bikes and with hard knock kicker 5150 and with his eagle American Eagle bikes and so we're doing that all over the place yeah all over the Earth and was setting up shops at the same time so it's kind of a marketing campaign and we discount them at the beginning of the auction and it goes off and usually over the price and he said so he had some guy come up to me and say we have some of these choppers it was a big lot and we split into eight and a whole bunch stayed and bought the John Cena chopper version of the mini one and people did like crazy. They ended up costing $2, each and the racing circuits going nuts now.

So we called up service and some others and we're asking about selling the top end cars and they said everything but the Rolls-Royce and so don't you have a little mad you know mad magazine step kid that sells knockoffs we have one that's not named rolls Royce and when it's not named Bentley this is maybe so we got in touch with them and we're going to go there in auction are top notch race cars and that will exclude the clones. And they are turning to some of these funny guys to auction off the invitation rules and imitation Bentleys but we have different names and they want to know where the oxygen is where is it I said I don't know where it is probably California California and something's is auctioning the top end race car and it's really not race car it's a hypercar and this is a family of them and we have electric bikes too and light cycles we want to put on auction and we're doing it in lots of somebody wants to be a dealer cuz I'm going to buy lots and we can be a private dealer that's what they like so we're going out there now and it seems to have a good effect

We're beginning to auction other things we're auctioning houses and we're auctioning tracks and all sorts of things we're putting out there and see game popularity and to show people their products actually work and things are on the up and up and all this other good stuff and he was wondering if we could do like an advocating thing with the mini chopper people to try and get support for a racing circuit because it's good for kids it's a small one and it's good for young adults and it's a healthy activity it's a learning thing and you can actually get professional sponsors at this low level and people are all interested so the racing certain people are calling us and saying you should ask us and we said we're going to but we didn't get anywhere last time then they said we you might not get anywhere if you're doing this advertising thing and say well there's a lot of people who want to see it and we want to show you it's like a real business and they said okay that sounds like fun and it's a real race so he's sitting there saying the stuff then he says oh it's like a real race is it okay to start looking at it and said these posts are too close we need barriers here and so he drew up a thing and he said it's going to be a standard and he said yeah it's going to be a standard so you put all these bearings in and we put post up and the poster to tell where people are from the start to finish and we started putting them further apart so people will get through and also said this race could become so huge we could need a whole bunch of huge venues so you want stadium seating and you put them at the finish line start line which is the same thing and you have huge you can have huge screens he didn't say that but we said that and he said that's terrific and you can rent binoculars or your cell binoculars there anything okay all sorts of stuff and then also he said this what am I hearing he said he's interested in doing it and he's trying to get some money and he's trying to do all sorts of stuff to do it and it's become impossible because of your issue and the issue we have you know so that makes sense and this is taking them on I guess along with the light cycles please smile and said that's amazing he's doing it like that so he said we're going to set this up and we're going to do it and then he saw the figures were selling tons of these choppers and he saw that you probably have control over Briggs & Stratton she has control over Coleman and there's other lawn mower engine companies Honda is now in and Kawasaki has one but they're not saying they're in but they are and there's some others too and you'll be surprised Suzuki and Yamaha all sorts of companies and Husqvarna and yeah my mind is powerful and fast and a lot of people are trying it cuz it's like a buzz saw so you're thinking of issuing like a 20ci gold so we have to compete with the buzzsaw so she's trying to issue a 20ci gold too and one Platinum so, you're calling them long life but it's really high performance tons of people are going to buy them and you guys have three grades now of the larger lawn mower it's incredible people want to see what the difference is and they say they've seen it before and they may have but not from Briggs & Stratton so it's going to happen and it's some form of high strength steel probably not super strength but so she gets it and she says I'm going to buy it for my yard he says make sure you sharpen the blade all the time like 30 miles an hour on your yard. We're doing a lot of work and Dan has sponsorships and we'll see if he wants to ride for a Hard knock kicker 5150 and you put it up as a sponsor on the bike itself when it's a hard knock and he goes sinks be alive I can't believe it even though that was despicable still thinks it's you not because it was but that's so what you're threatening for.

It's a great day this huge things happening and he's going to eat lunch
