Normally I'd leave the television blogging to the experts, but I'll make an exception for the premiere of the 4th season of Trick My Truck...
For the first time ever, Ryno helped with teardown! And it was pretty funny. He jumped in like he was going to do something, then just stood there and said, "I don't know how to do this." Later he was messing with the hood/grill, and saying to himself, "Righty-tighty, lefty-loosey." Gotta love Ryno.
Also, why did Ryno ask for the keys? Ryno can't drive the trucks unless he just learned. I read an interview or something with him saying he had to have someone else pull the trucks into the painting bay because he can't do it.
Oz is still around!
I don't want to badmouth the new guys, since it's not their fault they're not the old guys. They seem a little bland, but that's probably nervousness that will work its way out eventually. Also, one or two of them talk like they have a mouthful of marbles. They all seem really nice, though...and sincerely interested in doing a great job for the drivers.
Overall, the episode seemed to focus on Ryno and Rob--they were the ones greeting the driver at the end, etc.--and that was probably to help ease the transition. Everyone already loves Rob and Ryno, so it makes it harder to dislike the episode if they're the ones you're looking at most of the time.
In the end, they produced a pretty cool truck. "Wide Open" was a racecar inspired truck--appropriate for today, obviously. Strange that they didn't fix up a truck "in need" though...losing the emotional punch of helping those who need it will be the biggest loss of all if this is a permanent trend.

I was really disappointed with the new people. I don't think Ryno and Rob will be able to pull this off and the new guys are just - sorry - lame. There isn't the same chemistry as the other guys had. I heard a rumor that the CSM might be getting their own show on Spike TV. I certainly hope so because Trick My Truck sucks without them. Way to go CMT! Couldn't leave things alone the way they were which was great!!
