I've stopped to watch American Car Prospector a few times. Last night, I stopped in it and my wife announced that this show is the worst, the guy is just creepy/annoying. I agreed. Tough to watch and the cars he seems to go gaga over are not very special so it just isn't very interesting.

Chasing Classic Cars is similar in concept. Except the cars Wayne Carini finds are actually interesting and although he sometimes seems a little too full of himself for my taste, he comes across as knowledgeable about very special cars.

The ACP doesn't seem to know much about the most pedestrian of cars.

I agree on all counts.
One note about the "hokeyness" of ACP- one show I saw, he was driving up to an "abandoned" garage in the middle of nowhere to look at a car that "had been sitting forever" and he worried that it wouldn't start. What struck me though was the fresh tire tracks in the snow out side the garage that went right in to where the car sat.
