I've only seen a couple of episodes of this show and was never impressed with the "made for TV drama". I did think that they had some solid skills as builder though. News of the cancellation came through on my motorcycle mail list today.

Used to be a huge fan of Jesse James, but drifted away about the time he went Hollywood.

Seems like that family has developed more problems because of the show than money from the show. Kind of tragic to watch the relationship between Sr. and Jr. and Mikey fall apart on TV.

Problems were there long before the show.

Daddy is suing Jr. for his shares of OCC and $1 million on top of it.

Here is the article. Many comments as well at the link.

The father/son team behind the hit TV series American Chopper may be heading to court. Paul Teutul, Sr. has filed a lawsuit against son Paul Teutul, Jr. over who has control of Orange County Choppers, the family company made famous by the long-running reality show. Paul Tuetul, Sr. claims his son misappropriated assets and took part in "competitive business activities" that damaged the company.

Through the Paul Teutel lawsuit, dad hopes to buy out his son's shares in Orange County Choppers. According to court documents, Paul Sr. sent a letter to his son saying that he was exercising his option to buy out his son's share in the company. According to Paul Sr., his son never complied.

Paul Teutul Sr. and Paul M. Teutul had a very public falling out, which was chronicled on American Chopper. In the Season 6 premiere, Paul Sr. and son had a contentious contract dispute, which led to Paul Jr.'s departure from the company. After a brief reconciliation, Paul Jr. left the OCC for good to explore other opportunities. In later episodes, Paul Jr. was seen working as a consultant at Orange County Choppers.

I had no idea about any of this, haven't seen the show in a while, obviously. Wow.

Now that he has no relationship with any of his kids, including the son that has the steel business and was hardly on the show, one has to agree.

Mikey quit, went to rehab and is now trying to be a standup comic.

Too much drama for me. Dad is wired wrong with rage issues, the boys are all showing signs of taking after Daddy's dysfunction. Making neat stuff = Great time. Acting like a spoiled 12 year old boy throwing a man sized tantrum for 35 of 50 minutes? No thanks.

Mr.Erskine · 02-10-2010, 12:47 PM

Never liked the show....

nayslayer · 02-10-2010, 12:53 PM

I actully live in the area, this has going on for a while. He seems like a decent guy in person, i just hope the huge showcase they just a built a year or so go send them all down the crapper. I know they were planning on a resturaunt there too, not sure how that will work out now

icehog3 · 02-10-2010, 01:24 PM
