Leno's Garage

Did anyone watch? I have it DVRed. Trying to figure out where to rank it in my 94% used capacity.

I've watched a couple of episodes. It's vaguely interesting, but lacks real content. Unsurprisingly.

Are the MSNBC shows just packaged versions of his web series, or are they new content?

Watching an episode now. Pretty much what you'd expect if you've seen the web series.

I think Leon's Garage might be a more interesting show.

The reality is that there are a few interesting snippets that end up on YouTube (like a little talk about the McLaren F1 VANOS setup). But there's just no reason to watch the show unless you want Jay Leno on in the background with car noises.

That's what I was afraid of.

I really wanted to like it, but, you know, Jay Leno.

They should have spent more time in Tim Allen's garage.





And get rid of the singing dude who thinks he is an old car expert
