CLEARWATER, Fla., July 6, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Adrenaline Entertainment, Inc. (Pink Sheets:ADNL), which produces Adrenaline Nation TV, the leading channel for cutting edge independent music TV, innovative independent and short films and adrenaline sports for the highly coveted 18-49 demographic, today announced that it has teamed with retired Sheriff Gerald Hege to launch a new reality show for finding and fixing up classic cars: "Sheriff Hege's What's in the Garage?" The ANTV channel currently reaches 28 million homes across the U.S.
In each episode, Sheriff Gerald Hege, once known as America's toughest Sheriff, goes undercover to discover the automotive gems hidden in old garages across America. Sheriff Hege hits the highways of America to find old cars just waiting to be fixed up. In true reality show fashion, he interviews the cars' owners on the spot about the history of the car.
"We love our cars in this country, and most of us end up with old cars that we put off restoring due to the demands of raising families and everyday life," said Sheriff Hege, who directs, co-produces and hosts the show. "Most of the car shows that you see on TV today will take one lucky person's car and spend $150,000 to fix it up for them for free. In the real world, that doesn't happen. We set out to find these treasures and we show the viewers how to find, buy, sell and fix them up, all for a price that is more affordable to the average person. The show is really more about the owners' stories than the cars themselves."
Sheriff Hege shows viewers how to spot likely sites where an old car might be found, and he gives them pointers on making an offer to buy a car and restoring it to its former glory. Guests on the show range from NASCAR Hall of Fame member Junior Johnson to anyone with a garage that looks like it could be housing a vehicle. All of the stories are told with the down home delivery of "an old country boy who has been to town a few times."
"We are very excited to co-produce and develop the 'What's in the Garage' series with Sheriff Hege," said Keith Dressel, CEO of Adrenaline Nation Entertainment, Inc. "He brings a unique perspective to each story, having served the public as a Sheriff for so many years. He does a great job of highlighting the stories that these cars and their owners tell in a lighthearted and entertaining manner, weaving in the human interest stories for a cross section of Americana. There is nothing like it on TV today."
Sheriff Hege has been involved in reality TV programming for many years. He did the Cell Block F segment on Court TV, one of the first reality TV shows interviewing prisoners in jail. He is the only law man outside of the state of Tennessee ever awarded the Buford Pusser Walking Tall award. He was named law enforcement officer of the year from the American Legion in North Carolina and was also given a Veteran of Foreign Wars Award. Sheriff Hege has made appearances on Court TV, the Today Show, 20/20, Larry King Live, Inside Edition and America's Most Wanted. He has also been filmed for TV programs from Germany, Australia and the U.K. He also hosts a weekly talk show on WEOM 103.1 FM in Thomasville, North Carolina, that covers current events, politics, down-home humor and old cars.
