Hah, yea, me either. Well, not completely true. I did watch the first couple of episodes of it when I first got the MotorTrend streaming service (now unsubscribed).

The problem was it was in Japanese and subtitled. I have never mastered the art of watching a subtitled show and actually WATCHing it rather than reading it. What I ended up doing was making up the story in my head as I watched the video and ignored the subtitles. So, it ended up being as if the show was about Japanese Americans who lived in the Southern US, and sounded like they were on "Kazoku of Hazard" complete with Southern accents. It was entertaining but I think a lot was lost in translation.

(hope that isn't racist, it was the closest thing I could think of to "Duke" in Japan).
