'American Chopper' -- It's Over!

2/5/2010 10:02 PM PST by TMZ Staff

American Chopper"American Chopper" is ending its run on TLC and the crazy Teutul family will ride their bikes off into the sunset.

This Thursday's episode will be the series finale of the show. A rep for TLC tells us, "The Teutuls will always be a part of the Discovery family and we congratulate them on a tremendously successful series run."

The move is not entirely unexpected -- as we reported in December, Paul Teutul, Sr. is suing his son Paul over the family business, Orange County Choppers.

The last episode airs February 11 at 9:00 PM.

Yeah Jr had some talent but just plain lazy. To much work in the "boutique" a lot easier putting nik naks on someone else's BBQ.
And Mikey well as an artist and musician he will make a good librian for about a month before the next "project"

Paul Jr. is a spoiled brat. If it wasn't for Sr. he wouldn't have done anything. Hes lazy and when he was on the show all he did was stick on things with double sided tape. Any joker can do that. He should appreciate what his dad has done for him instead of being a baby and expecting so much for doing nothing. jason Pool designed the bikes before and still does. In my opinion Jr.s just a spoiled brat and since he got with that girlfriend of his hes been nothing but disrespectful and thinks his dad owes him.

Well I can't say I'm surprised either. Another Discovery family exposed for their GREED. TLC should be very proud.

TLC may bring Fame and Fortune, but also great sadness to families, when being viewed from the outside world thru peep holes to their lives.

Paul ran off his older son, then Vinney, now JR. Hmmm, maybe Vinnie will have his own show and Senior can sulk and scream in his empty office.

I think TLC should've discontinued this show long ago. Other than Paul Sr. everyone else had either been fired, sued, or left the show in disgust.

Sr. should start drinking because he is a hated man.

Senior and crew build ugly ass bikes.Embarassing to the bike world. Junior built better bikes.

I have never watched this show but I have flipped past it on occasion. I truly believe that TV and the world in general will be MUCH BETTER OFF without these dreadful and nasty people.

Just as well. That show was interesting for the first couple of seasons. But it was clear their fame went to their heads and they became intolerable to watch.

I watched this show since the first episode. It had a great run but the show lost it's mojo over the last several years with the loss of Vinny and now the boys. Senior should have been man enough to realize that he is not the show and that it took an ensemble to make it go. The bikes are now very basic compared to a couple of years ago. Time to wind this show down. Congrats to Discovery for taking a small time bike shop and making it a national phenom
