I love this show!

Especially since I do my best to not drive in Philly...like ever! Everybody else shouts at them, I cheer for them! Guess I'm a sadistic ****. I'm just glad that people are getting caught doing what they aren't supposed to be doing. If I did it, I'd get impounded and everything.

But I see these folks all the time when I'm walkin' around Center City. I feel so bad for them having to deal with these morons who break the law and get irate with the parking enforcement folks. Yeah, tickets suck but you know what, anybody who has ever been to Philly knows how small and tight the streets are. Parking needs to be enforced strictly otherwise traffic gets backed up everywhere.

The people they encounter are unbelievably daft too! They get irate when their own screw up got them where they're at. Amazing. Totally amazing.

Show is on A&E every Tuesday. New season just started.

    So the show makes the parking enforcement a@@#$%^s out to be heroes? HAHAHAHAHAHA

    Please. It's one thing if someone's parking in a handicapped spot, or in front of a driveway, or letting their meter expire. All legit rules. But there are a million rules out there that are total BS, and those dillholes that sign up to be meter maids REVEL in making people's lives miserable over nothing.

    My personal favorite is street sweeping. No parking 6-8AM for street sweeping, they'll give you a ticket at 6:01AM, and the street sweeper won't come until 8AM, if at all. San Francisco officials recently admitted that they extended the times for street sweeping ticketing for the SOLE PURPOSE OF REVENUE. It's devious and dishonest, and it has NOTHING to do with making parking easier and everything to do with tricking people who otherwise are law-abiding into paying extra taxes.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    When my Father lived in Chicago, he said that if you ever needed to get rid of something, just put it in the alley. By the morning, it's gone.

    Best show on TV is Top Chef - but I'll have to check this out. Seems interesting, although I'm not sure how they make a whole series out of it :)

    Another show on Discovery Channel is "Wreck Chasers". Another show full of hilarity! Both shows are like COPS but without crackheads.

    Not a fan of "Scrappers". Mainly because I worked with guys like that and they just aren't pleasant people to be around in any respect. personality, hygiene, intelligence...it's just not there. I get flashbacks watching that show.

    You know, you're not a friend of mine in any respect. How you think you can speak to me this way and expect me to not take it as a hostile thing is beyond me. Go find someone else to bother because you're just wasting your time here. BTW, I reported your post for trolling.

    I'd be surprised if they actually left something. In the burbs if you have something to get rid of, even broken old appliances, just put it on the curb the night before garbage and in the morning it's gone. I had an old nasty sofa from my basement that actually lasted for 2 nights before somebody grabbed it.
