Why does mikey teutul believe that American Chopper is the only reality show?”
“That’s greed. That’s out of the realm. I didn’t do anything to get the TV show, it came to me,” Teutul told the Daily News. “There’s a lot of people out there that think the same way [as the Heene family]. If you look at the reality shows out there today, it’s a joke.” Teutul also offered his insight on another reality series — TLC’s Jon & Kate Plus 8 — as he previously appeared in a crossover episode for both shows and explained it went better than he thought it would. “I thought it was going to be a bad experience, but it was a good experience, believe it or not,” he told the Daily News. “I spent a lot of time with [Kate]. She was very nice, that was my experience. I expected her to be totally different.” New American Chopper sixth-season episodes will being airing on Thursday at 9PM ET/PT on TLC. The show’s sixth season premiered in April, and its debut broadcast concluded with Teutul firing his son Paulie, who now operates his own business business.
Paul Teutul Sr. didn’t pull any punches in claiming that American Chopper is the only real reality series out there. “I honestly believe we’re the only real reality show out there,” he told the New York Daily News in a Wednesday report. “You can’t stage the things that happen. There’s no script.” Teutul also discussed last week’s incident in which the Heene family — which has twice appeared on ABC’s Wife Swap reality series — claimed their 6-year-old son was inside the compartment of a homemade helium balloon when it accidentally took off, launching a 50-mile, two-hour chase to bring it down.
