Top gear us

If any of you - besides myself - watch the original Top Gear, you'll be SORELY disappointed watching the US version.

A few negatives:

The Stig's introduction. Rubbish.
The hosts seem stiff.
Little wit.
Little spunk.
They engage in things the UK guys have already done.

Eh, I like them all equally. Clarkson does bring a sarcastic bit to the show, but I do like May's ramblings and Hammond's quirks.

Lol no, it's a car show.

I know Top Gear UK has a website. Not sure if you can get their vids from there.

Re: Top gear us

So... it's pretty much like any show that starts in another country, then they make a US version.

Take The Office, for example. Was a show made in England originally, I believe. It was pretty good. Then they made a US version. Aside from US jokes, instead of England jokes, they have a few of the same episodes.

Originals are usually the better ones. I don't see why they bother trying to remake them.

Re: Top gear us

Clarkson is interesting to watch I guess, but the English Top Gear would hardly be worth watching if Hamster or Captain Slow left. It's definitely the chemistry that makes it interesting. That and listening to all clarkson make a fool out of himself almost every time he reviews an american vehicle. Remember the F150 clip? Priceless!

Indeed. All 3 of them make the show.
