A little over a year ago I did a post about a tentative tv show called “Metal Church” featuring Jesse James that was slated to air on Spike TV.
“Payupsucker Productions, James’ own production company that he recently established, will produce two specials and two primetime pilots in each year of the two-year deal with Spike TV.
Metal Church, the first pilot being developed under the agreement, is a do-it-yourself series that will follow James as he shows viewers the ins and outs of customizing vehicles. In addition, the first Spike TV special starring James is slated to air during the second quarter in 2008.”
- Episode 1 of “Metal Church” is now available to watch on Chopperdogs.com
Since I posted over the summer that Spike TV has ordered 10 episodes of the stunt-themed Jesse James is a Dead Man (due to air February 2009) I’m guessing that Metal Church is not going to air on television at all.
But if you’re a member of Jesse’s members only Chopperdogs site (for a low monthly membership cost of $45.00 for the first month and renews for $19.95 each additional month. Oh, but you also get a T-shirt, welcome letter, an autographed photo, and four stickers) the premiere episode “How to make a Frisco style gas tank out of steel” is now available for viewing.

$45.00 for the first months membership!?! I hope that comes with a personal visit from Jesse’s ex-wife

Yeah, Jesse definitely knows how to turn a buck. TV just isnt the same without him, though. He really changed the paradigm. 3 years of “spending more time with family” is enough, already. Sounds more like an ousted CEO than the greatest reality TV star of all time.

Sons of Anarchy: Looked lame, and has a few unrealistic touches (jacks swaggering gait, outlaw MC that doesnt deal drugs, dreary stock-looking bikes, etc. ) but that series has grown on me. Worth a watch, though not great. Has American Chopper finally died?? Gawd, that show jumped the shark in 2004. Those bikes are the lowest form of corporate sell-out, ugly, non-functional crap. They really dont even qualify as motorcycles.

Glen, which ex wife? The first or the second? What’s wrong with the current wife? I’m thinking I should charge $45 membership over at RC USA!

Jay, I believe that Glen is alluding to the second ex-wife. And that the “personal visit” is a euphemism for…ahem…being orally serviced, in addition to the membership fee.
