Cowboy Builders

I too thought "Cowboy" was the wrong word to use in the title of this show so I looked up the word at dictionary.com: "Informal-a reckless or irresponsible person, especially a show-off or one who undertakes a dangerous or sensitive task heedlessly: They put foreign policy in the hands of cowboys." The show is pretty much a public service two ways because the show helps those that have been swindled by these builders by doing the work the dodgy builders should have done themselves but it also benefits the general public by alerting them to unscrupulous builders by confronting them. I found the work part of the show much less interesting than the confrontation part.
