Well, I think you're going down the wrong road with the garage/restoration show theme. What I would really tune in for is a series with more of a historical slant - something along the lines of the "Tales of the Gun" series from the history channel. My favorite episode was the one about John Moses Browning. The one where they interviewed Kalashnikov and Eugene Stoner side-by-side was a real classic too. Following that theme, I would suggest having episodes like harvesters, threshers & combines (include the story of Cyrus McCormick), the Farmall tractor, John Deere and his moldboard plow, the story of the Graham-Hoeme chisel plow, etc, etc, etc. The list is endless. Put the stories of the machines and the men/companies behind them within the context of our nation's history. Also, show some current footage of a machine and its owner doing some _actual work_. That's what I'd like to see. Just my $0.02.
