It is super simple. If Mark focused as much as he does on the information and dedication he have towards the cars instead of what he did early season (1 - 3 ) Then this show would have a way higher rating.

It have taken giant leaps since season 4 and the only thing we need to get rid of is the itty bitty clips "displaying" Mark dancing, name-calling and other unnecessary clips. If they filled the episodes with the knowledge they have and more in-depth mechanical information I'd go from a solid 7 to an 8.

The show itself have a good storyboard and enough information about each bit with in-depth explanation of most of what is done. It also takes into consideration that not everyone are from the states and explains the history as well.

Can we please get to it... my goodness you have an audience, why not skip the bad humor and provide some more information.

I had DVR'd this show because it looked interesting, and I'm glad I did that instead of just flipping through and watching. I think if I had just watched one episode, I'd just think these guys were a bunch of egotistical jerks. Since I DVR'd it, I ended up watching a few of them, and now I think the show is hilarious, and full of a lot of great info about these fantastic cars. I think Mark was set up in the first season and was supposed to be a total jerk to everyone, but they had him tone it down a lot in the third season. He hams it up, and you can tell that the guys really do like working with him, or there's no reason they'd be there. The producers set stuff up, definitely, and I agree with some others that the show needs to focus more on the restorations themselves. I think they've made a conscious effort to do that. The second half of season three has a LOT more of Mark talking about the cars, showing why each one is special, going over things that the factory did strangely, etc. You just have to go with it. When Mark talks about how important he is, you can see the twinkle in his eye -- he's joking, and you can see the other guys smiling as well. This is an awesome show, and I hope it continues for a long time. It always gives me a good laugh, and makes me appreciate these amazing cars more than I ever have. I was never a muscle car guy, but I am falling in love with these cars. Keep up the great work, guys!

The cars shown on the show are awesome! Mark's knowledge of MOPAR's is amazing. However, his antics on the show are what make me sick.

If I hear him say Gee Paw one more time, I might actually puke.

He should stop trying to be a comedian, because he is seriously NOT funny.

It's a shame that Mark Worman is disgracing his apparently thorough knowledge of MOPAR vehicles (which I'm not a huge fan of in the first place) by behaving like a three year old on this show. There's an awful lot of potential being wasted by attempting to create some sort of on-air bad-ass persona, frustrated by his bumbling assistants. It's probable that this behavior is a contrived act, designed to attract attention by virtue of the "drama" it is intended to create on the show. But it is clear that being a complete jerk comes fairly natural to Worman. Regardless, I don't know how anybody with a mental age beyond 13 can watch such tripe. It has to be the worst automotive show on television. My advice to Mark Worman: Grow up, drop the inane pre-pubescent behavior and generate some content that does justice to your trade and your expertise. My advice to Velocity: Stop dummying-down your automotive offerings with with such trash. Either transform this show into something that an adult can watch, or do us all a favor and kill it.

First of all what's better than restoring real world 70's muscle cars - seeing these barn finds, etc is just so awesome and Mark Worman and the guys are quite entertaining clearly the level of ribbing from Mark coupled with his insane amount of Mopar knowledge - the guys funny and clearly brilliant. Give it an episode or two it's really good. I didn't even know anything about these Dodge and Chrysler cars, and I'm not a gear head, just a 80's kid who had a Trans Am and later on in life got interested in 60's & 70's Corvettes, never really cared for old Mustangs, so really glad to discover there was another whole breed of cool and desirable muscle cars that were so collectible. Looking forward to many more shows on Graveyard Carz!

I tuned in to this program after being out of the US for three years, and was really looking forward to a quality auto restoration series. What I found was about 70% yelling, screaming, complaining and editorializing about how awful the rest of the staff was. They work on amazing cars - it's a pity that we don't get to see much of the work. This program makes American Chopper look like a Sunday school class. The premise is supposedly about bringing classic cars back to life, in the words of owner Mark Worman. It's more about Mark Worman preaching and pontificating. Worman said that he "wanted a docudrama." Well, he got it in spades, heavy on the drama. This is one guy who's tuning out.

This show will probably never gain mass appeal. As a "reality show" it's not very good. The "characters" are annoying. And they don't do the hack-n-slash, quick-flip "restoration" stuff that so many people seem to want to watch.

But personally I hate that stuff; it makes me sick to watch some idiot chop up an old classic (think Overhaulin', Pimp My Ride, or Fast-n-Loud).

This guy is different. He's actually doing quality restoration work, which is slow and methodical, and he shows some details. But that's not exciting enough for most people. So the producers have added "fluff": arguments, name-calling, paintball, new shop equipment, you name it. Unfortunately that ends up filling 80% of the show.

I can't bear watching this show straight through. But in each episode, there is some good information about Mopar restoration. So I DVR the show, and skip past all the crap to get to the good stuff.

Rating only the restoration part of each show, I happily give it 8/10. They do real restorations... of muscle cars... especially Mopars... especially Cudas... and they show some details. More details (and no fluff) would earn it a perfect 10/10.

If I had to include the fluff in my scoring, I would probably give it 5/10 (and 4 of those points come from it being about Mopars).

Graveyard Carz has one thing that I really love and respect. That would be they take Mopar muscle cars and bring them back to factory spec without mods. They usually are better since these are 100% hand-built restorations with as many original parts as can possibly be sourced. That said it seems to have an identity crisis. It wants to be entertaining like so many cars shows with characters and witty dialog yet it also wants to be instructive and show the care of a real restoration done faithfully. The main guy tries too hard and the instruction often leaves out crucial phases and steps out. I'll watch it for the way the cars are spectacularly finished, but I wish it would decide if it wants to be serious or entertainment.

Somewhat recently discovered the Velocity channel and have been hooked ever since. To a car guy, it's a dream! Just watched my first couple of Graveyard Carz and have no intentions of ever seeing it again. The fake drama found in so many other mainstream "reality" shows is found in this one too, but it just doesn't belong. Discovery needs to understand that fans of cars don't need that stuff to watch a show. They just need cool and interesting cars. Look at Chasing Classic Cars.

I also find Mark to be completely unwatchable. One of the episodes I saw, he was leaving a used car dealership and made sure to comment on how a couple people immediately recognized him and how he can't go anywhere these days. Also, the running joke throughout was that he couldn't remember the cameraman's name, so he was calling him by a different name all the time. These examples don't come off as a guy being funny or charming, it comes off like you're a jerk.

The show does have some amazing cars on it, just not worth dealing with the other stuff to get to them.

I started watching some of these episodes and very quickly realised that these are slow and methodical restorations. Most other programmes cover the restorations in a couple of episodes but these are spanned out over a fair period of time.

These guys certainly know there biscuits but Mark can be quite wearing at times and whilst he is quite quick witted, it has to be purely for the benefit of TV.

Lets be honest, if anyone was being constantly spoken to this way, especially in the 'Sue' culture we live in these days, you would either take him to court for defamation of character or you would knock him out To Graveyard carz, dial this down a little and show more of the build and it could be a great recipe for a successful programme in the UK I do enjoy it but like most people, I skip through all the arguments and wind-ups and watch just the serious parts!

I am sure the network likes to inject a little drama in their canned formula to create what they think would be a hit... well they got the mix wrong. If Mark Worman is actually as egotistical as he seems on the show, working in that environment would be be intolerable.

Irritating to watch, and less about car restoration and more about Mark and his overly dramatic ego/power trip. Mark's behavior reminds me of Duane, the shop foreman at Boyd Coddington's shop, at least on the show.

I really wanted to like this show, it has several things I like: Mopar and restoration done right. I can only say I gave it a chance.

I sat through a few of these waiting for a real car show, and the more I saw the more I wanted to write a negative review. Unless you enjoy being irritated, vote with your remote, change the channel to anything else to avoid this "docudrama".

I gave this show 3 tries and they struck out. This show is nothing more than a venue for Mark Worman to stroke his huge ego. An hour of his angry, demeaning, junior high school rants is just too much. Worman clearly thinks he is something special. He is not. He thinks he is better than those that work for him. He is not. He thinks he is funny. He is not. He thinks it is okay to berate, insult and verbally abuse everyone around him. It is not. It is sad that Velocity continues to give this angry little man air time. I question the decision making at Velocity that allows this trash to continue to air. It is abundantly clear that Worman suffers from SMS (short-man-syndrome) and apparently has unresolved issues in life that cause him to be such a foul, angry little troll. He is in serious need of some medications and counseling with a good therapist who specializes in PTSD and anger management. Luckily, the ratings for this show are on a down-swing so we won't have Worman around much longer. Worman is no Chip Foose, and no Jimmie Johnson. My advice to him: Go watch several episodes of Overhaulin' and some Jimmie Johnson interviews to learn how to be a decent, humble human being. I for one will NEVER watch this show again.

I am a dedicated Mopar guy.To have a show dedicated 100% to old Mopars is wonderful. Mopars are not the easiest to restore and Mark is very smart. I think they are just having fun. Having a show that is just showing hours of sanding would not be entertaining. I find it educational and entertaining.I have to say Will is my favorite. He is a great painter and I believe Mark knows that. He is calm and laughs as though he has a low tolerance for Mark's behavior. Alyssa has a lot of patience, between her Dad and Will they are mean to her. Thank God Dave is gentlemen as he is working with Alyssa. Dave is also very good. I record all the shows. I actually want to tour their shop and meet the team.

If it weren't for the cars, I'd give this program a 1 out of 10. I sat down with a group of gear headed guys and started watching an episode, and the general consensus was "are you kidding me??" Worman is indeed a whining, annoying human being, at best, that allows for a hostile work environment. Yes, these guys are good at their craft, but watching the show at times was just awkward. Velocity should showcase the cars, not the people that work on them. What an unbelievably annoying cast of characters. Thankfully, there are much higher caliber car shows on TV than this one. I'm surprised the show has made it this far. Dodge classics are beautiful cars, yet, with these guys working on them it almost makes them lose some of their luster!

Love the show and the Mopar education.Mark is just having a good time and he's created a great Niche for himself.

As title states. Really not much to do with cars. Programme consists of some arrogant guy moaning on the phone and not much else.

I'm a big fan of American cars having owned a few but I've wasted a few hours of my life watching this programme hoping it would get better or more interesting. It doesn't.

I was looking forward to watching this series but its boring beyond belief and I watch every car programme on TV as I'm passionate about cars and mechanics.

Can't think of anything good to say about Graveyard Carz except please bury it were it will never be found again.

BIG LET DOWN DISCOVERY.

This show can be slow at times, but at least it has a quality you don't find many other places on the tube. Mark may be full of himself, but he's earned it, and the whole group truly seems to care about one another, in a very intelligent,sarcastic way. You have to take what they say with a grain of salt...or twenty! If You're looking for a step by step guide on building Mopars, Youtube is full of how- to videos. If you're looking for a for a car show, about car guys that truly care about every nut, bolt, seam, sticker, factory mark, etc...that they put into these classics, along with a little fun thrown in, you will enjoy this show.

After watching an advert for this program I thought it looked great. A car restoration show with some great looking muscle cars INCLUDING back story about the car's history? Sign me up! Unfortunately, what you end up getting isn't quite as advertised.

Instead of a show about car restoration, what you're actually getting is a 20 product promo for a tool they would like to use for the restoration. You don't get to see them use it very much during the work however -- I imagine due to time constraints since it takes so long trying to sell you one! Meanwhile the action is padded with about 15 minutes of the owner yelling, griping and tooting his own horn (I could never tell if he was being serious or not) before they inevitable team-building activity. Whatever is rest of the hour is split between actual network commercials, the choosing of the car and some actual work on the restoration.

I gave the program 2 1/2 shows before finally throwing in the towel and I felt dirty with salesman grime after each one.

Graveyard carz is a waste of time. How can this program still be on the air? It's a low-brow owner who has no knowledge of car restoration. He has ridden on the coat tails of the employees and other shows. He is an idiot. The show just has no worth or interest. If you want to fall asleep turn on this junk show.

Classic cars are slowly fading away but shows like this give "car nuts" like myself a glimpse into the past and how important sharing car knowledge is at keeping the history alive. I have a little Mopar in my blood but I don't think it's a prerequisite to enjoy this show. The cast has good chemistry and good personality to keep me interested.

I worked at a Chrysler dealership that was closed down during the economic collapse and the future looks far different then the past. It seems like IHS and CAFE standards affect the direction the industry is headed more then the human element. I was recently at a car museum and it's amazing the styling risk our forefathers took in creating cars.

Great show PLEASE keep it going!
