With word getting out the MotorTrend had decided to cancel further production of their tv shows, including Road Kill, Faster With Newbern and Cotten, Roadworthy Rescue, Hot Rod Garage, and more, everyone on the internet has been all doom, gloom, and anger. But what seems to have been lost on folks is that these shows all have new seasons that are either airing late in 2024, or in 2025. Hell, I’ve even heard there are some shows in the can that will not stream until late 2025 or 2026! So there are still opportunities to see the shows you love!
And while there have been lots of short clips, comments, and videos of people talking about their shows coming to an end, here is the one and only David Freiburger to give you the full scoop.
Video Description:
On November 18, 2024, MotorTrend announced that that my TV shows would no longer be produced. That means Roadkill (13 seasons) and Roadkill Garage (9 seasons). The spinoffs were also ceased, including Hot Rod Garage, Faster With Newbern & Cotten, and Roadworthy Rescues. There are many episodes of those shows that have been produced but not aired or streamed, and MotorTrend tells me that all those unseen episodes will continue to stream on Max and Discovery+, and will also air in 2025 on MotorTrend cable TV. Some complete episodes can still be seen on the MotorTrend channel of YouTube. In this video, I tell the story of how Roadkill began and what it meant to so many of us.
