[TexasBulldog]

I enjoyed this season and hope they bring it back.

I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as i did.

JOe

[Uncle Pervey]

Yeah, the Alaska one was pretty good. I can't say much for any of the other ones I've seen.

UK version > US version

Gotta agree...

Sad part is because its a car show most guys like us will watch regardless though.

Not me. I gave em 2 episodes but couldn't stomach it. I guess if there had never been a UK version I might watch it but I've been eating filet for so long I can't be bothered with steak-ums.

The show is complete automotive faggotry. It is celluloid failure.

If they actually did something that was partially original, I might have been able to watch it, but they only copied the shows that the REAL TG has already done.

All they did was remake the shows with idiots.


The original Top Gear is great. There is no substitute.

It was better than I thought it would be. Doesn't hold up to the UK version, but I hope it does make it back.

I think Tanner does a good job.

Rutledge, as annoying as he is, plays his part well and I've found I don't mind him like I thought I would.

Adam...I hope they take a cue from the UK version and replace one guy after the first season...

[ApexOversteer]

I'm glad Series 16 of the UK show has started... Episode 2 tomorrow night!

Here is last week's episode: http://www.streetfire.net/video/top-gear-uk-season-16-episode-1_2192556.htm

Rutledge is great. He understands that a car (to us) has a soul and isn't just a machine with 4 wheels. Tanner doesn't seem to understand that.

Tanner has no personality. Sure, he has better car control than pretty much anyone that could have been casted, but his personality is bland.

Adam... he knows nothing about cars. His jokes are sometimes just rude and not funny, even for a new yorker.



I still think Tim Allen and Chris Titus should have been casted. Maybe when the show gets more money.

[Yamma]

I watched about 30 minutes of one episode. That is all I will ever watch. Like posted, all they did was completely copy the already successful British show, copy the challenges, the jokes......it's pathetic.

....and tanner foust is a freaking annoying moron.

They need to star acting like Americans and stop trying to copy the UK version.

This thread is full of faggotry.
Swingers= Faggotry

I'm really starting to see a pattern here.

They need better hosts. Foust reminds me of the kid you smacked the shit out of in HS for spoutin off about all his toys, and what daddy bought him last.

[Madmikeee]

I actually enjoy that show alot. I sure as hell like the hosts better. ALthough I would have prefered REAL car guys like Tim Allen, Jay Leno etc

I think as time progresses for it it will get better and better though, hopefully they will stop making it just a cookie cutter copy of the UK version.

[Joecooool]

Unwatchable. Might have had a shot had they stuck with Adam Corolla as originally planned.

I really don't understand why they felt a US version was necessary. Its not like the original show is in some foreign language.

navyc4s?

[cmb396]

I literally could not make thru the first 10 minutes of the first episode!! Haven't even turned it on since.

[Sleestak]

It did get better by the end of the season. They need to ditch Adam Ferrara and pick up Adam Carola as originally planned.

Ugh...that might make it more unwatchable. Carola might be a car guy, but I can't stand him.

If they feel they must have a comedian and want one that knows about cars get Christopher Titus.
