        I think the same thing. Except maybe 2 or 3 less cuts on that joke. It definitely got overplayed. It must have been painful to be in the audience.

                Loved it.....but...

                Man, the "interview with a celebrity" portion looked like a children's 6th grade play. I can't believe they didn't just edit that out. It was painful to watch.

                For a first episode, I'm surprised they didn't do something like in the past where they went to the north pole, or crossing a jungle.

                I did giggle every time they called the "La Ferrari" "The Ferrari, The Ferrari" - only cause it seem the Ferrari guys were pissy to deal with as they would let them take it on the public roads cause it would devalue the car. A million dollar of advertising, and you don't let them register it?

                  Ferrari is a company run by petulant italian children. Remember when the stupidly named Ferrari The Ferrari came out? They wouldn't let any of the magazines/tv shows/journalists to directly compare it to the 918 and P1 under penalty of the car's owner never being "allowed" to buy another Ferrari. Remember the suing of that "musician" over his tastelessly modified Ferrari that resulted in him selling it and giving the Company the finger? Ever heard about how they allegedly won't let you just buy the top of the line car if you can afford it unless you buy others first? It even goes back to the company's History; the Dino (one of the best looking cars ever made) wasn't a "Ferrari" because it didn't have the V12, so Enzo named it after his dead son. How's that for spitting on his grave? Hey, Dino - it's not a Ferrari, just like you ya dead bastard!

                  Ferrari is still making fast cars but they're surviving on brand recognition now, no matter what they do people will still go nuts over the cars because MUH FERRARI.

                    Watched it over the weekend.

                    The RAF skit could have been a bit shorter.

                    I was excited when the celebrity interviewee skit was over, not a fan.

                    I hope Mike Skinner is a joke/Jeremy trolling us all. I liked the old Stig, him being 'unknown' was a cool part of the show.

                    Other than that, the show was spectacular. Loved every second of it. Can't wait for the next one!

                      While I agree with almost everything you said, I have to correct you on the Dino portion. Dino was the one working on the V6 motor before he died and it was meant as a tribute to his son, not a "you're worthless to me" stunt.

                        I loved it. Life definitely got a bit brighter with these guys back in action. That said, there were some parts that seemed a tiny bit awkward, but maybe we're all just over scrutinizing it a bit being that it's been hyped so much. I have much confidence that it'll improve as they settle into the new format. I felt like this episode served a few purposes; bridging the gap between T/G and G/T, introducing us to the new format (different segments, new track, characters), and reassuring us that this isn't just a lackluster reboot but an awesome evolution.

                        Oh we also get an extra treat this Friday with a new project binky episode :D

                        EDIT: I'm going to go back and re-watch all of the specials they did over the years, those were incredible

                          Does that make it any better? Too much pride in something as silly as a V12 (which later didn't matter anyway, plenty of Ferraris since have had less than 12 cylinders) to put the family and company name on your Son's pet project. Could've called it the Ferrari Dino, but it's just Dino 206/246/308 - not a Ferrari.

                              Now that's over I can share that I made the cut for tickets to the Nashville taping today. :mrgreen:

                              I think the RAF bit may feel less contrived and make more sense as more episodes are released.
