“American Chopper” is being cancelled after six seasons. The reality show on TLC will air its season finale on Thursday, February 11th, which will also mark the finale of the series.
The series debuted on Discovery in 2003 and was later moved to TLC in 2008. The reality series followed Paul Teutul Sr., the founder of the custom motorcycle shop, Orange County Customs, and his son Paul Jr. The show documented the entire behind-the scenes drama of running a successful family business.
While Teutul Sr. had thought the show would last another few years, family dramas have cut the series short. Paul Jr. had previously left the family business earlier in the 6th season. He was then sued by his father last December over company stock. Teutul Sr. was also involved in disputes among the show’s other cast mates and was even named in a fraud case. There were also rumors that Orange County Customs and the Discovery Channel were unable to strike a deal for the seventh season.
Regarding the cancellation of the show, TLC issued a statement saying, “The Teutuls will always be a part of the Discovery family and we congratulate them on a tremendously successful series run.”
