Summary of Season 1 (2002) - 3 discs

Sharing not only a moniker but a proclivity for being a renegade with a legendary Old West outlaw, megamechanic Jesse James -- blowtorch in hand -- hosts this Discovery Channel reality series for gearheads. In each episode, Jesse and a rotating gang of engineers, technicians and mechanics transform ordinary vehicles into monster machines that serve another purpose -- such as turning a Chevrolet Caprice into a Zamboni.

Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this car rehab show is one of the more original series in its reality TV subgenre. Star/host Jesse James is rough-looking and affects a tough-guy persona, but his kind actions belie his exterior. He works with a different group in each episode, from little people to convicts. Overall the show demonstrates that hard work can be satisfying and that you can turn a pleasure into a profession. James and the other car builders curse occasionally, and though most of the words are bleeped, many are obvious.
