TLC is putting the brakes on American Chopper.
After six seasons, the TLC series based on the Teutul family’s home-based custom motorcycle building business will ride off into the sunset on Thursday night.
“The show has always been about building one-of-a-kind bikes and the drama of running a family business,” TLC remarked in a statement confirming the cancellation. “The Teutuls will always be part of the Discovery family and we congratulate them on a tremendously successful series run.”
Paul Teutul, the patriarch of the show, frequently fought with son Paul Jr. about the daily operations of Orange County Choppers, located in Newburgh, NY. Paul Jr. ultimately left the family business last April and is now suing his Dad.
