Anyone watch it? I kind of find it sacrilegious...nothing will ever compare to the original...
Re: Top Gear AmericaSeen a few promos and it looked horrible. I also quit watching the original Top Gear last year, because they almost entirely forgot that this show is supposed to be about cool tests of fast cars.
Re: Top Gear AmericaWatched it , it wasn't bad but it wasn't like the real Top Gear...  Re: Top Gear AmericaMan the hosts just keep getting worse and worse, the only one worth a damn is ruttledge <= not sure if I spelled that right.... 5 2010-12-06 08:57:00 (edited by Hr.

i have to admit that the latest season of original top gear was the best of them all. really if you haven't watched series 15, you should and for top gear us. the hosts are really bad, they are not funny and seem a bit like stick in mud. why do americans always ruin stuff... if they really wanted their own top gear, they should have taken a look at the autralian version, which is quite good - nowhere near the original, but still decent automotive entertainment what doesn't kill you - hurts even more...
Re: Top Gear AmericaTop Gear US still lacks flare. They ruined "Star in a reasonably priced car" by "americanizing" the name into "Big Stars, Small Cars" GAH! That works ok, is quick to remember but the whole idea of being a crapy run of the mill car is lost ... I mean, It could have been an Elise or a Miata with that name, or another pocket rocket like the Mini Cooper John Works which is anything but reasonably priced. Plus, they do not know how to introduce the Stig. Stig should be a driving legend not "our anonymous racing driver" ... there is some team dinamics, you can't beat 14, 15 yars of working together chemistry like the brits have in 3 episodes, but ... they should be having more fun. TopGear is the should to remind us WHY we like cars... Everybody lives, just this once, everybody lives!
Re: Top Gear AmericaYou've got to place the US show in the US, not compare it to the UK version and expect the same but with American cars. "Reasonably" is probably a word used a lot more in the UK and "cheap" is not a good word a brand wants it's name related to. The AUS version was very stiff in the beginning too, so I'll guess it may loosen up. Re: Top Gear AmericaI agree with herusardo, the americam TG really sucks because it's just lame... The hosts just have abosultely zip for personality...and they either need to just clone the original or just stop... The stig intro borders on lame, and the big star small car too is lame....they just need (a) better hosts and (b) someone with flair and imagination and not the crap that's being to people now. One the other hand the filmography and editing is great
Re: Top Gear AmericaOK I saw the third episode and it sucked balls. Big juicy donkey balls. I hope the next one will be better...
Re: Top Gear AmericaThe third episode at least was a challenge. It translated better the fun factor of TopGear. I do hope they get around into better introducing The Stig. The australian version played with the notion that it could be the same stig as the english one. After the Stig Farm joke on topgear.com, however, the simply could have started the american season with a clip of the three presenters going to the Stig Farm and picking one up. Talk about a lost oportunity for a joke! I guess the trouble is that the american topgear crew did not grow up with Monty Python. Everybody lives, just this once, everybody lives!
Re: Top Gear AmericaNope, they grew up with Cadillacs, moonshine and Texas.
Re: Top Gear AmericaHISTORY today announced that the U.S. version of Top Gear, was given the Green Light for season 2. The critically-acclaimed and popular series attracted the youngest viewers of any series on HISTORY ever.  
Re: Top Gear AmericaGood news , It kinda grew on me... Re: Top Gear AmericaIt's dead to me at this point.. The hosts continually kill any chance of it being likable.
Re: Top Gear AmericaUS top gear was terrible, they need to replace the hosts pronto. It all feels to rehersed and all the jokes are forced.
Re: Top Gear AmericaThe presenters remind me of the opening of a new store: a big idea, unexperienced people who got the job because someone they know is in the management. After a while, management sees the big mistake they made and fire them. Posts: 16Forums - Next Episode → TV Show Discussions → Top Gear America |
