Top Gear America.

[scabzzzz]

i'd recommend everyone go watch the first few episodes of top gear UK. Arguably better than US, but certainly not what they are today. The chemistry has to develop (if it will)

Most reasonable statement in this thread.

I said basically the same thing a few pages back. Watching the first few episodes of Top Gear UK and the chemistry is not what it is now.

Sorry man, I skipped a few pages wading through the garbage posts.

Lol im not looking for credit, im just agreeing :P

[b*saint]

Its entertainment. I don't pull apart fast and furious

Word. No chemistry.

My bigger issue was that, it well, was complete shit as a car show. They were loose remakes of old Top Gear UK skits and they were poorly executed.

For starters, they didnt tell you SHIT about the cars. The Viper skit was lame enough but instead of having two shitty comedians talk about beating off to Pam Anderson talk about the fucking car.

Its not going to get much better because they cant shit on car makers like the real TG crew can. They also appeared to dumb it down for the US, being pretty fucking blunt and no sarcasm or anything. "This is the stig, he is a professional racing driver and you cant see his face." How fucking lame. Why not be entertaining and say he doesn't have a face, or say he is the ashamed lovechild of Mayweather and Janet Reno?

Unless it radically changes (which I doubt) I wont be seeking it out. And I dont buy the "its their first try guiz" capt save-a-ho defense. They had a fucking stellar format basically handed to them from TGUK and spent like 3 years gearing up for this. Did nobody take notes?

Also whoever the italian guy is he should not be allowed to do interviews ever again. You had a fucking astronaut/test pilot and you give him some shitty softball car questions for 30 seconds?

Edit: I could easily make a better version of that shit show and all for less money. History can pay me $40k a week to produce it and all I am going to do is download the UK show, put in a disclaimer in the beginning telling you that if you cant figure out conversion from KPH and pound sterling then you are an inbred redneck fuck and should be watching Glenn Beck anyway.

bahahaha that last sentence was gold GOLD i tell you!

[Heysüß]

LOL. I see. Ok I promise I will get you a video of me doing it when we get our first snow.

i'm pretty sure it's snowed by now up there right?

[b*saint]

Nope. Plus Im in Ohio now and in Spokane next week.

[CabbE30]

It wasn't as bad as you guys led me to believe. I've seen a few episodes and i believe it'll get better as they get more comfortable. Overall im enjoying it.

[Conki]

video or your post is worthless.

I didn't get stuck doing 5 on a level surface in snow:)

[briansjacobs]

well something else to look forward to Ashley Van Dyke from speed tv's "setup" series is working on a new series about exotic cars and car culture, a friend of mine is executive producer, shot a few episodes and it is being shopped to the networks now.

[b*saint]

Its like keeping up with the kardashians but with cars. Sounds fucking stupid. Tell your friend.

TGUSA should hire this guy:


Because he knows what's up, and can communicate it to the viewer.

Eh, he didn't wow me either. I think TGUSA just needs a chance to get better. It's not terrible right now so it could get better.
