Horrible reports of a US Top Gear (again)
:-( This is terrible.

It is bad news, they will ruin the show. But for some reason i can see Jay Leno being the main presenter. He has a love and passion for cars and is leaving the tonight show this year.
|
that would be good choice....
|
They were also going to make a version of another great British TV show, The IT Crowd, but it's been cancelled. So who knows what is going to happen with this.
|
What can they ruin? UK TG will stay the same and we will be watching it like before, won't we?
|
I have faith. the British TG won't, I imagine, be sullied by the US TG. I'm interested to see how it turns out.
|
Australia already attempted at loosely "copying" the TG format. And it sucked. I hope the American's don't learn this same lesson the hard way. I was actually embarrassed for the presenters; watching them attempt to mimic the British presenters. Doing that puts you almost at the bottom of the journalistic-barrell IMO. :?:

Top Gear only works because we love the presenters. We'll watch anything with one of them in it. Okay fine the cars have a lot to do with it as well, as an American I don't really need to see whats hot from Dodge, I'm interested in seeing what I wouldn't get to see otherwise, and hear JC say something outlandish, and watch as Hamsters mind deteriorates, and listen to Cap'n Slow mutter obscure checklists off before he starts a car. Jay Leno? is he willing to put his Stanley Steamer into a four wheel drift?
|
Copy is always a copy and in this case it will most likely be a bad copy.
|
i'm not really supporting it but they did it with xfactor(american idol) and look at that but then again thats a whole another ballgame.

As much as the cars are a significant feature of Top Gear, it's the story built around them to create a segment, and the presenters themselves that make the show. Without this... it would be, well, fifth gear? :-D |
yeah i watched a couple of the 5th gear episodes and wasnt impressed. i do like tiff but thats no reason to watch the program.
they will probably get some shitty nascrap driver to be the stig. |
^
And will be talking about how great and economical american cars are. |

actually it will be a comical Motorweek. BORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRING! |
It will be a total disaster, Top Gear just won't be Top Gear, without JC, The Hamster, and Captain Slow. It will end up like Motorweek on PBS. Hopefully it will go by the wayside like Viva' Laughlin, and Anchorwoman. 1 episode and then canceled. Even though I am an American I have to agree with the guys on TG that we just can't make a proper car. Hell, I have a Monte Carlo with a 3.4 liter engine that boasts a huge 170bhp and 17mpg. Whoopee, Jeremy got the Audi A8 TDI to get 40 mpg and run 800 miles all that with a 326bhp 4.2 liter engine and twin turbos. 99% of American cars are rubbish. As I fear the American version will be.:-(
