This 'reality' show (with the usual people trying to act-up for the cameras) is a depressing look at both the foolish & innocent motorists stranded due to weather and stupidity, and the tow-truck companies that prey on their predicament with exorbitant rates, yet still operate poorly functioning tow vehicles in many cases.
No doubt, tow truck drivers perform important, dirty and often dangerous work, but none of these businesses or the operators are "unsung heroes."
The show's producers fake such things as passing truck horns (complete with Doppler effect), CHP radio traffic over the scanner, and who knows what else.
I'm hoping the show doesn't last beyond one season.
