The Teutul family is saying goodbye to reality TV. "American Chopper" has been canceled by Discovery after it decade-long run.
“After 10 years and 233 episodes of incredible, riveting reality television, American Chopper will be ending its run,” Eileen O’Neill, group president, Discovery and TLC Networks told EW. “This series was one of the very first family-based reality programs on television. Special thanks to Pilgrim Studios for over a decade of great producing. The Teutuls have given us really innovative bike builds and real drama since 2002. We wish both Orange County Choppers and Paul Junior Designs the best.”
The show was primarily based in the Teutul family's custom motorcycle-building shop -- Orange County Choppers -- in Newburgh, New York, and thrived on the tension between Paul Sr. and Paul Jr. In "American Chopper's" later years, the inter-generational rivalry turned into a feud that nearly ripped the family apart.

Living their lives on reality TV has caused the Teutul family some serious family tumult over the past few years. Now, one of the brothers has had enough of the drama, and is considering quitting "American Chopper: Senior Vs. Junior." On tonight's episode, Mikey Teutul debates leaving the show in order to repair his relationship with his father.
In this exclusive clip, Mikey explains to Vinny that he believes the reality TV cameras will prevent him from reconciling with his dad. "I was thinking about quitting the show ... My relationship with my father won't get any better unless it's sort of off-the radar, off the television show, and not really highlighted ... Aside from I think maybe it's time to move on," he says.
Later, Mikey reveals that the move is something he's been thinking about since his brother Paul Jr. broke away from the family's original Orange County Choppers shop and started Paul Jr.
