nix on topgear USA

[Julien]

sweet christ thank you.

No surprise or anything with all the America bashing he does, but it’s still news.

An American version of Top Gear has hit the skids — because Jeremy Clarkson has refused to live in the US.

BBC chiefs were set to sign a multi-million dollar contract with an American channel to make a Stateside show this year.

“[…] because it takes a long time to film the show it meant the crew and presenters would have had to live out there for several months.

“Jeremy didn’t want to do that because his life and family are in Britain, so it’s been shelved.”

Downloading the new episode atm, anyone seen it?

It's probably more that he didn't want to have to take his wife + kids over, make them change schools etc. How much would it suck to be a kid with an english accent in grade school?

The funny thing is i think the majority of watchers of the show are american based :D

Whats his deal with the U.S.??

It has to be a British mindset thing I suppose. We have Americans just as guilty with their "we're best than the rest" attitude.

All shit rolls downhill - I'd just let it go.
