Lizard Lick Towing (2011–2014)
8/10
entertainment the way the UK can't make it
27 March 2013
its not often the UK gets a good American reality show, that doesn't involve some Hollywood reality ass, and there wealthy family. so when this show started airing in Dave (the UK's man channel) with a witty caution notice daring everyone not to enjoy it. its something i knew i had to try. following a motley crew of recovery workers working out of North Carolina, it follows them recovering a mix match of vehicles all over the states. often they get caught trying to repo there vehicles, and often the vehicle (users) will come to the company depot, to dispute ownership of the vehicle, actually that happens nearly every time, with the public tearing up the main entrance a bonus. all this happening whilst the company is on the brink of collapse and friends being won and lost.

now i'm not gonna deny that there's little bit of creative license going off. but its an entertainment program, and sometimes reality isn't entertaining. you can tell when something is put on with a careful eye, but whether its scripted is another argument. you can't script what the main characters say on this show, some of the one liners Ron comes out with are nothing short of brilliant, and has me and my friends in bits every time. furthermore, its a brilliant insight into American people and American culture for those who have yet to venture out of the main tourist destinations.

don't worry American's you will not be judged on this show. its just yet another great American show managing to land on the UK shore.

whilst some might question this is a reality show, it was still way more real than the Kardashians wedding, and for 30 minutes entertainment, you can do a lot worst than Lizard Lick.
