Rick is a gifted artist and his work is beautiful. I am watching all the reruns and wish I had something for Rick to restore. LOVE this show! I really hope this show has a come back. I truly enjoy American Restoration. I look forward to watching all the neat things you and your team do to restore different items. I love how you guys have fun as you work. Until then I will continue to watch your reruns. When will new shows be coming.
I really like the show and love seeing the old items turn into beautiful new pieces. I like kowboy he gives the show a bit of humor. This show needs to return. I will never watch the show you and your family is not in. Completely shocked that American Restoration show was canceled. But, when shows do great, the producers yank it off. They replace a winning show with a sub-par show and think that the audience will love it.
They are so wrong. We enjoyed the crew working hard to restore a machine to its original look. That takes a lot of ingenuity on their part. What craftmanship! Hopefully, another station will pick up the show and we will be able to enjoy American Restoration again. American Restoration still running here on Quest channel, hoped to make contact with Rick to get quote on vintage Japanese motorbike I brought back from my Air Force tour on Guam.
Knowing Rick and his crew got fired takes all the reality out of it, there are other shows and tasks I can do that are more entertaining. If they lose most of their viewers they might invite Rick back, hopefully, but that comes from a retired broadcaster who knows how producers work and think so good luck at getting that show back.
After discovering this show on Quest tv, I was totally hooked. I truly enjoy the transformation of the items brought to Rick and his crew. Amazing work done with pride. I watch every weekday from 1 pm to 4 pm. Love the tips and advice. I just wish that I had a Ted to go to for all the special finishing touches.
He is a true artist in every sense of the word! Please Bring new episodes. It seems every show like this always has to show the crews arguing and fighting. There is enough of that in real life, Just show me the beauty of their talents without the drama.
Binging the series again. I forgot how much unneeded scripted filler was thrown into each episode. The acting was cringy. Other than that, love the show and the restorations are amazing to see. My wife and I love this show. Always interesting to see how something that looks like junk become something of great beauty. The whole team is great and personable. Rick and crew know their stuff.
To the out of touch corporate assholes who decided to cancel a family-friendly good clean fun and informative show should be fired. This article could not be written any better! Going through this article reminds me of my previous roommate!
He continually kept preaching about this. I most certainly will send this post to him. Pretty sure he will have a great read. I appreciate you for sharing! Your email address will not be published.

In true reality show spirit, the challenges they faced were made more interesting via surprise elements, subtle twists, and more than a few daily shenanigans.
Updated March We've updated this article with more relevant and recent content to give fans of the American Restoration reality show a better insight into what Rick Dale and his family have been up to since the show ended. Here's a fun fact: Rick actually didn't think he could pull off a reality show on his own , however, he was certainly proved wrong as his show went on to garner a massive fan following with viewers from all corners of the world.
According to reviews on the Affair Post and numerous other online forums, people love the show and the old cast so much that they keep watching the re-runs on Quest TV. The reality show was aired over the course of six seasons, using the same cast, until the History Channel suddenly fired them all without any official reason whatsoever. This didn't just come as a shock to the viewers, but even Rick didn't see it coming. Shortly after it happened, Rick appeared in an emotional video, asking his fans to advocate for him.
History Channel went on to replace the entire cast of the show with new people, and the shop was replaced with five new restoration shops. However, History never managed to recreate the magic that was Rick and his team, and would soon go on to scrap the entire show.
Rick Dale and his extended family have all but disappeared after they were fired from the antique restoration show American Restoration. Where are they now?
Rick Dale was the owner of the shop the hit show was built around. He was popular enough that the producers thought it might be a good idea to give him a show of his own. His initial response was a firm "no. Because gas pumps and soda machines were his forte, he didn't think he knew how to restore enough different items to carry an entire season. Dale told the Sioux City Journal: "I only knew how to restore like five different pieces, and a show has twenty-six episodes. I figured I'd be done after about five.
Rick said he felt "overwhelmed" about six shows in, then started to find his comfort zone. In the end, he went far beyond a single season. Restoring worn-out items is a very specific, and very unusual, occupation. What makes someone get into this line of work? What makes somebody want to devote their life to fixing up battered, beaten, and rusted items? In Rick's case, his passion for restoration was born out of childhood poverty.
He told Uproxx that he grew up without much money. Consequently, his father would root around for discarded items that could be spruced up.
When Rick was nine, his dad pulled a bicycle out of a dumpster and gave it to him. They fixed it up together, and he felt that he had "the coolest bike" in the neighborhood when he rode it around. That instilled in him an understanding that one person's trash is another person's treasure, and that just because something is old doesn't mean that its worth is gone.
It was a shock to everyone when the History Channel changed the format of American Restoration. Rick was fired from the show, along with everyone else in the cast. When the program returned for its seventh season, the basic premise still involved restoring things, but there were multiple businesses where the action took place, as opposed to just one.
Rumors abounded about the reasons for the shake-up, ranging from declining ratings to accusations that Rick Dale had become difficult. Whatever the reason, Rick was none too happy about it. He recorded a video, which was posted online, in which he visibly choked back tears as he thanked fans for watching. There was also a subtle touch of revenge in his message.
He asked those same fans to visit American Restoration 's website owned and maintained by the History Channel to sound off about their displeasure.
One of the dirty little secrets of any reality TV show is that much of what you see isn't entirely real. Plotlines are often created in advance, events are staged, and the process of filming can make something that happened over the course of hours look like it spanned mere minutes. American Restoration is no different than other reality shows about stretching the truth of reality. The website NYUp.
He was approached about appearing on an episode of the show in its post-Rick Dale season. Cohen revealed that he was filmed twice, first in July, then again in November. The hitch here is that the July segment was the "reveal" of the repaired sign, while the November session was talking about the project, as though it hadn't been completed. Bob Halliday joined American Restoration in its seventh season, when the focus shifted away from Rick's Restorations.
He is the owner of Bob's Garage in Marietta, Georgia. Like his predecessor, Bob specializes in Coke machines and gas pumps. He's also known for a hearty sense of humor. His jovial outlook belies a serious tragedy from his past. Bob ran a successful business for almost twenty years in New Orleans, Louisiana. As part of it, he purchased an antiquated gas station, which he restored for the city's historic district.
Then Hurricane Katrina hit, and everything Bob and his family owned was gone -- the house, the business, and all their belongings. He told the Marietta Daily Journal that only the clothes they were wearing, their pets, a laptop, and the car they used to leave the city escaped destruction. Because of his reputation, celebrities often come to Rick Dale looking for help with their possessions.
Rock-and-roll legend Billy Joel appeared on one episode, seeking to have an old motorcycle fixed up. Pop singer Jason Mraz came with a sign that belonged to his beloved grandfather.
Sammy Hagar and magician David Copperfield have also made appearances on the program. Despite the impressive clientele, working for celebrities makes Rick a little nervous.
I just pray to God I can finish.
