yep if senior hadn’t started building chopper’s in his basement in ’74 JR might have had to find a real job, where he would have to be on time, and put his own tools away and sweep up. most jobs i’ve had if you where on the phone during work hrs you would get time off or some kind of repremand. yes Paul jr i didn’t like being yelled at eather. but you see the defferance is that my dad would not let me do anything, and i had to help build the house ,sift the sand for the morter , pull the weeds cut the grass, clean up the dog, wash dishes , cooke from time to time , and all at the ripe age’s of 5 to 14 when my step mother left him I left him to go live with my mother but she had too many mouths to feed so I came back to my old scholl and found me a sleeping room finshed school and working odd jobs. what i see is here is a spoiled brat. I think if jr had ever been in the service he would have seen the light. you wanted your cake and eat it too. yes jr you can design some nice one of a kind’s . grow up both of you life is to short,

So OCC ends up in Bankruptcy Court, the Family Breaks apart AND their Show gets canceled. Such a waste. Someone like a CPA should have sat the trio down and explained to the Tuttles the ‘Realities’ of their show. Like how much more their Clients were interested in having an hour of FREE publicity/Product Placement plus a pretty cool bike for what a Hundred Grand? Can you imagine how loud the echo is going to be in their show now that the show is canceled? I have to wonder how much of their personal wealth is on the line in the Mortgage action. Hope you guys banked your cash. The show was pretty good while it lasted and so were their rides. Adios moochachos. A.

That would be monosyllabic…with two ls

I disagree by the way, Mikey And Jr. are actually pretty brilliant in their own ways.

Boring, glad it’s over. Dumbed down TV for a dumbed down country. They aren’t very bright, monosylabic with a sixth grade vocabulary.

Paul Sr. was a no talent wonder and you could see it every time he tried to do something .He was jealous of Paulie’s abilities because he had none of his own, all he is, is a loud mouth that takes credit for other peoples work. He should have been the one cleaning up the shop not Vinnie. If that bum had to work for a living making choppers he never would of had a business. He is a poor excuse for a father and a man. That fumanchu and big arms don’t make you shit.

I agree that Sr. often push Paulie too much. I also think that Sr. takes for granted all the good work that Junior has contributed to OCC. However, by this time Junior should know what drives his dad up the wall. All he needed to do was to stop being late and to clean up after working. He wants to be treated as a partner but at the time, limits his duties to design and fabrication. If he should have taken a more administrative approach to OCC by being more involved in the business which would probably improved the relationship between the two. As for Mickey, he’s worse than Paulie who rode on their coat tails and doesn’t live up to his contract after being given so much freedom. Now that Paulie’s gone, Mickey’s starting to feel the heat. I think he should have been cut from OCC because all he does is fool around. At a recent episode, he was depressed because he’s being edged out. He should have taken things more seriously and if he’s wondering why he’s being treated that way, he should watch the show’s archives to know why.

Sr. is a prick and I hope his business goes down the toilet. What finally sent me over the edge was when they (OCC without Paulie) built that stupid bike for some Indian tribe. When the bike was unveiled Sr. looked pathetic trying to describe the details of how the bike was built. He couldn’t do it and looked like a fool. Finally, I can’t believe they give so much credit to that idiot Jason. What a retard!

Darren, that was Harsh man.

Without question Paul Snr has major issues which will, without doubt, affect him for the rest of his life.
His ego and attitude may drive away all those that love him and have supported him.
Don’t be so hard on him though how much of this has been proliferated and perpetuated by us?
Does part of the blame for this lie in the fact that WE, the avid watcher (and I count myself as one of those) have been drawn to this show in part because of the friction and ever present conflict.
How much of the early conflict and friction was real and how much was stoked / fuelled / propogated by the TV company and the presence of a camera? Makes for good TV doesn’t it and its partly why we have watched for 6 years.
Without Snr’s overbearing presence, Jr’s opinionated and occasionally arrogant attitude (no mistaking the guy’s artistic genius tho’) and Mikey’s slighlty unhinged / slanted perspective on things, there would not have been a show capable of capturing and maintaining the audience’s attention for 6 years.
In real life (outside of medialand) people in these situations would have had proper councelling, they would have been encouraged by their loved ones to take time out to reflect and they would have had the proper support they needed.
BUT THAT JUST AINT GOOD TV and it doesn’t bring in the bucks and doesn’t hold an audience. Keep that up for long enough and it will give anyone a twisted perspective on what is right and correct.

I for one will miss all of the Teutels (Snr included) and the rest of the guys past and present.
Rather than wishing or hoping for the demise of any one of them – here’s to hoping they sort their differences – they get the support they each need and that they go on to lead satisfying, happy and prosperous lives and if we get more good TV in the process then its a win / win situation.

Here’s to you OCC (past and present) – I for one, wish ALL of you the best – Its been a good run.
