Premiered: Sep 13, 1998

This engineering challenge started off some years ago in the UK and has now made it over to TLC. In 2001 they filmed two seasons' worth of programs with a whole series of extreme Junkyard machines being built by teams of bikers, high-tech engineers, school teachers, and even hillbillies!moreless

Old Lady Loves Junkyard Wars!

"Great"

By ValerieElson, Apr 24, 2010

I'm watching a re-run, the episode "Off-Road-Golf," 2003. It's really holding my interest. Let me say that I'm not the typical demographic, I'm a 70 year old lady, an actress and culture/history vulture. Maybe I missed my calling because this program has grabbed my attention. So much in fact that I'm thinking of improvements to the junkyard golf machines I see cavorting on the screen. Wow, this is really fun. It's refreshing to see a few grey heads in the cast, too. This is a great new discovery for me and since I've never watched before it looks like I have a few years of re-runs to keep me entertained for a long time!moreless

By sabinerat, Mar 31, 2009

Me and all my friends enjoyed this show the only. The next day we would talk about it and what they built and were they messed up. The only thing we didnt care for was in the last season they had a set team captain and players that you picked from I think when they changed it to this they pertty much killed the show. I loved how the original from England was with teams against each other and maybe one expert. I also like the 3 different world teams against each other because it show different thinking on building things BRING IT BACK PLEASEmoreless

A really fun show to watch. Two teams get about a day to build a working... something! It could be a rocket boat, a firetruck, or a torpedo, but it's always quite a supprise to see these people actually build something out of scraps they found in a junkyard. It's even more supprising that most of them actually work! This show is still on the Science Channel alot, and is actually the first place I saw it. I love to watch it for laughs and to lean some new things about engineering. I recomend this show to anyone who likes science, watching people build things, and laugh at people fighting.moreless

BRING IT BACK!!!!

what a shame it hasn't been on for 6 years...this show is an unbelievable classic! my 7 year old loves it and my husband was born to do this. if one of the cable channels would review this little gem and bring it back, i think that it's popularity would be suprisingly increased (think...back when it last was produced, not nearly as many people had access to dish/cable/direct tv or could dvr the show to watch over and over!)

this one is a no brainer...grass-roots, people!!! contact TLC, discovery, science, etc. and get these cable folks to listen!!!!

i got me a dream-team to send in!!!!!!!!!!!!moreless

"Superb"

By ihavenotwin, Nov 05, 2008

I love this show! I love the concept and think it would be great if they could bring this one back or start a spin off from this show. Making something with junk is a great idea and helps advertise being more environmentally friendly. We have so much junk around and I think this show helped promote getting rid of it in a better way than just letting it sit around and rust in a corner. This show was education and funny. Things did not work out as planned every time and that made the show even more interesting and entertaining.moreless
