Default TopGear/ 5th Gear

Im sorta new here and this has probably already been answered but....I love all the Top Gear / 5th Gear videos, and i was wondering if anyone knew if these shows were to be coming to the BBC channel in America. I went to the their site and i couldnt figure out if they were already on in America or why they wouldnt come to America. If someone knows plz post.

Top gear aired in BBC world in Sky and DirecTV systems last year, just like in 2002. You should check your cable provider listings when the top gear season starts.
Also as PATo355 says, 30 min shows are aired even when in 2002 I saw a couple of the one hour shows
so check your tv listings and the date when TG starts again

Top Gear and 5th gear is shown in NZ. ALthough I really dislike 5th gear.

Well, that's normal since there are not TG episodes all year long in UK
The only problem with BBC World is that they chop and the show is 30 min instead of almost 60
