Series like this but REAL?????

Is there one?

I feel in love with this on the very first episode.

That was until 5 minutes into the show and I realised that it is fake. Not that I have a problem with that, it IS only entertainment, but if it isn't real, then it is pointless.

This show would be excellent if it were real, even if the content would not be as extreme. (hand grenades and such things)

I am (proudly) British, and I LOVE Americans, but this show does not give a very good imge to the people who live in that area, and that is a shame, as I can only imagine that the people who live in that town most be pissed about this show and the image it shows.

So, any suggestions????

This show would be just as horrible as it is now if it was real. All it would be is them towing cars and 1 percent of the time there might be a confrontation.There's a reason there aren't any "real" reality tow truck shows.

Maybe, but if they filmed it over a longer length of time, then there would be some good footage to show.

I work for a towing company here in the UK that does work for the police and I know first hand that 95% of the work is boring stuff, but 5% of it can be absolute madness that would make good viewing.

There is a show called Parking Wars (I believe that's the name). It follows "Metor-maids" giving parking tickets for violations, the tow teams that boot and tow cars and ends up showing people having to pay for their cars getting towed in/reoped to get out of the lot... seems way more real than Lizard Lick.

Parking Wars was so real and authentic that they gave the Philadelphia Parking Authority a bad rep. The PPA told Parking Wars to hit the road.

So, yeah, Parking Wars is the real deal. At least, it started that way. Jury is still out about their detour to Rhode Island.

I literally just saw this today and laughed my ass off at the 45 seconds I saw on the way to the kitchen.
in that 45 seconds that douche with the 80's Brian Bosworth hair did would have landed him in prison and everyone else without a job not to mention being from that area in the south, 9 out of 10 times they would be shot...and legally so.
The saddest part of the whole thing is it's on "TruTV" but maybe thats it!
Doesn't have the "E" so maybe it doesn't really have to be tru-E just for people to believe that don't have wrestling to believe in anymore.

Brian Bosworth Hair !

If you want a real life insight to repo-ing in the USA, look up RepoNut on YouTube. You will not be disappointed.
