American Chopper is a reality TV show that aired on TLC from 2003 to 2010, starring Paul Teutul Sr. and his sons, Paul Jr. and Michael. The show revolves around the Teutul family and their custom motorcycle-building business in New York. The Teutuls are known for their intricate designs and attention to detail, which has earned them a reputation as one of the best custom bike builders in the world. The show follows the family as they take on various projects, from designing bikes for celebrities to building bikes for charity events.

Paul Sr. is the founder and owner of Orange County Choppers, the custom motorcycle shop that specializes in designing and building bikes. He is known for his gruff demeanor and no-nonsense approach to running the business. His sons, Paul Jr. and Michael, work alongside him in the shop and are responsible for designing and building the bikes.

The show also features other members of the Orange County Choppers team, including Jason Pohl, Vincent DiMartino, and Cody Connelly. They are all integral parts of the business and contribute their expertise to the bike-building process.

Throughout the series, American Chopper has featured many celebrity guests who have commissioned the Teutuls to build them custom bikes. Some of the celebrity guests include Bill Murray, Jay Leno, Ewan McGregor, Joan Jett, Mark Wingett, Kristy Swanson, Jon Voight, Alan Tudyk, Will Smith, Russell Crowe, Jeremy Irons, David Letterman, Regis Philbin, Eddie Steeples, Ethan Suplee, Jason Lee, Jaime Pressly, Jaden Smith, and Kate Gosselin.

The Teutuls have also built bikes for various charity events throughout the series, including the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the Fire Department of New York City. These projects are often time-sensitive and require the team to work quickly and efficiently to meet their deadlines.

The show is not just about bike-building, though. It also delves into the Teutuls' personal lives, including their relationships with each other and with outside family members. There are conflicts and disagreements that arise, but at the end of the day, the family always comes together to work towards their common goal.

The show has been known for its dramatic moments, including arguments, disagreements, and even physical altercations between family members. However, it has also showcased the family's ability to come together and work through their issues.

American Chopper was an incredibly popular show during its run on TLC. It was praised for its unique subject matter and for showcasing the Teutuls' incredible talent for custom bike-building. The show ended in 2010 but has since been revived with a new season in 2018, which continues to follow the Teutul family and their business in New York.

American Chopper is a series that ran for 12 seasons (273 episodes) between March 1, 2003 and on TLC
