I'm gonna put a bit of a different twist to things here.

A resto show would be great if it could take one through the process of describing the different "fixes" that would be do to normal use.

Alot of us still use these pieces in everyday farming yet today. Dealers are getting crazy on shop prices (not bitchin they gotta have the $$/hr to keep it open). To "see" the fix done during the resto would give a lot of us a better idea of following thru on our own. Preview the next show in the series letting us know what exactly will be done lets us set up the VCR for a reference.

Lets face it, not all of us have less than 5 yr old equipment. In my case, my newest is a '80 2590 Case going down to an 8N. Inbetween are 930 case, 60 JD (with loader) and a 70 JD.

I used to watch all the car "mechanic" shows, but like others stated, more of a commercial for the high $$ bolt on stuff. Not conducive to the average back yarder.

Keeping the topics to resto back to usable dependent equipment would go over better IMO than taking an old piece to "showroom" condition where it would be a shame to stick it back into the field.

I have Direct TV but don't get the RFD. I would tho if I could get usable everyday info from it rather than just the entertainment value.

Peaked an interest in me tho hearing horse stuff shown. I raise and breed on the side. Seeing training shows would entice me further.
