The old man canceled the show because Paul Jr, and Mickey, both of which are no longer part of OCC, were reaping the rewards of television with free advertising about there ventures, Paul Jr Designs, and Mickey with his paintings and whatever else he was going to do to make a living. The old man is a puke, and he cut his kids out of everything, including the show. He is a scumbag. Old reruns of American Chopper will continue to be aired because Paul Jr, Vinnie, Rick, Cody and Mickey are all on the shows. That was when the show was at it’s best and it was interesting. And the old man is making cash off the royalties of the reruns. Nobody was watching the latest shows, thats why TLC cut their losses and bailed out.

Leave it to a television netowrk to ruin another family. The money went straight to paul Sr’s head and he single handedly ruined his own brand. Junior is the one who made he company what it was, not Sr. If not for Jr, No one would have the money they have now.

wow, i must be an idiot cuz i have been watching this series since day one and i do not find sr to be the problem. i truely believe that he started this business and therefore needed to run the business the same way any owner would and that does not include NOT following the rules and having no consequences for it. yes jr was an amazing builder but the show stopped focusing on the bikes and too much on their personal life and i feel as though sr is being beat up for it….somehow, i have not seen the KIDS hard done by, daddy has carried them and given them everything their hearts desire and still disrespect him….like i said, i must be the idiot here, i do not see what u r all seeing, i think sr will lose everything he has worked so hard for and then paul and mickey will see how bad things can get without daddys cash to back them up in life. good luck paul sr, u r going to need it.

I agree with all the comments by everyone else. The show initially attracted me because I am a custom bike fan. Unfortunately, it morphed into a cheap reality show about a disfunctional family with motorcycles coming in a distant second. I couldn’t stand Sr. from the beginning. He is an illiterate blowhard who was riding the coattails of the talented Jr., Vinnie and Rick. I will not miss him or his show but I can’t wait to see what Vinnie and Cody do with their V-Force Customs.

In the beginning it was told that the reason that the show come into being was Mikey ran into a discovery channel producer in a bar and told him about their business which led to the series.
Maybe sr.’s new kids can help him find a new series seeing that he’s thrown his old kids to the dogs.
Jr. comming in late is one of the perks of ownership of which Jr. had a 25% share of occ, and how many times did the old man take off or come in late that was never shown.
Cody was sr.’s favorite, but still managed to get screwed over by the pathetic, self serving, and arrogant old man sr. has become.
This wife better beware because family doesn’t seem to mean much to sr. just ask his ex who stood by him through the drug use years.

I knew American Chopper didn’t cater to high society, but could you please stop embarrassing the rest of the OCC fans and learn some basic grammar? Senior has no clue why people watched the show. It was the bikes and the designers (Junior and Vinnie). The show became tedious when the focus shifted to the disfunctional relationships instead of the product.
