American Chopper, Discovery Channel's mega-hit featuring Paul Teutul, Sr. and his sons, rides again. Join the boys at their Orange County Choppers garage where they're up against deadlines, and each other, to create the world's most outrageous custom motorcycles. The arguments fly right along with the sparks in this celebration of man over machine, and one family's struggle to run the business of their dreams. Season 6 (Part 1): In the Season 6 opener, the guys of OCC head to Wendy's headquarters in Dublin, Ohio to do some research for a bike that will be auctioned off to benefit the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption. Then watch as OCC teams up with Sunoco and Nascar driver Kyle Petty to build a bike that will benefit the Victory Junction Gang Camp. Lights, Camera, Bill Murray! It's celebrity time at OCC when the Hollywood actor commissions OCC to build him a chopper inspired by his Caddyshack character, Carl, which is then auctioned off to benefit the St. Vincent's Mobile Hospital.

Where in the world is Bill Murray????
If you are a die-hard fan of American Chopper, you will like this. However, the dvd production values are horrible!!!! There are no menus. There are no extras! You have to speed through the first episode to get to the second episode because there are no menus. ALSO, Bill Murray is NOT featured on these dvds as it says in the description. I don't know who produced these dvds, but they are horrible! You'd be better off taking the money you would spend on these dvds and subscribing to cable television where you're guaranteed to see all the American Chopper episodes! Very disappointing!
Season 6, Part 1
This set includes 3 disks with 2 shows per disk, total of 6 episodes. The episodes are:
77 Wendy's Bike 1 Originally Aired: 6/5/2006
78 Wendy's Bike 2 Originally Aired: 6/12/2006
79 Sunoco Bike 1 Originally Aired: 6/19/2006
80 Sunoco Bike 2 Originally Aired: 6/19/2006
81 Bill Murray Bike 1 Originally Aired: 8/7/2006
82 Bill Murray Bike 2 Originally Aired: 8/14/2006
I believe these sets are privately produced by Amazon, definitely not by the Learning Channel's production company. This is a bare bones set. NO special features, not even a disk menu to choose episodes on each disk. Discovery did much better with seasons 1-3, these new sets leave much to be desired, and at around $5 per episode, the price is steep. Still fun if you want to have these episodes. Come on Learning/Discovery- you can do better than this!!!!!
Cheap quality, Same good show, though!
The dvds are definitely manufactured by someone different than the first 3 seasons. The dvds are really bad in the fact that they are out of order on the disc (episode wise). I also had a disc arrive that did not even work. The best part is that the cheap producers did not use any anti-burning techniques, so you can burn / copy them all you want. Might save you some money if you don't want to pay the 30 bucks per set. I would ask around if I were you before buying.
On a good note, the show is still excellent and provides lots of entertainment. I love American Choppers. I just hope they choose a better company next time to release the dvds, just for their sake, because pirating is going to be an issue with seasons 4-5-6 (which I bought).
