Top Gear Coming to America

[The Architect]

Faust gives three reasons it wont suck, while sadly proving it will

I keep trying to watch that supercar wars show (I can't remember what the show is called, battle of the super cars?) with Faust on speed network.  How could a show about competing overpriced over powered cars be that boring?

Let me fill you in on what you missed; this car is so great, this car is awesome, this car is perfect, this car is so great, this car is awesome, this car is perfect, this car is so great, this car is awesome, this car is perfect, this car is so great, this car is awesome, this car is perfect, this car is so great, this car is awesome, this car is perfect, this car is so great, this car is awesome, this car is perfect, this car is so great, this car is awesome, this car is perfect, someone misses a shift and every now and then the two drives try to talk some smack.

So my POS cable provider killed history channel for me at some point. History, G4 and cartoon still all show up the listings on their website, but not on my TV.

So, who was it?

[mattc7]

it was acceptable, but not particularly good.

the best comment I saw, it takes all of what top gear is, strips out what makes top gear great, and recycles that into subpar performances from 3 seemingly disconnected hosts.

It's just not the same without a clarkson...they should get one on clarkson island

[duccarlos]

Sounds like you're with Direct TV.

It was boring and I have more chemistry with my dining table compared with the 3 hosts.

[Turf]

ya know how bacon and sex are both exciting?

this is not like those things

[Bun-bun]

Imo, it wasn't completely worthless.
I think any time you see a copy of something great, the copy suffers in the comparison.








and yes, they do need a Clarkson.

I saw it.

I don't know yet.  Those three guys . . .

I don't know.  It seemed like they hardly knew each other, like they were somewhat strangers.

My hope is that it improves.

I will continue to watch.

Adam seems like he can be funny but not yet. 

Tanner can drive!  I didn't know that.

I was surprised that he show was an exact duplicate of the original just without the main characters.  I was expecting some sort of change, anything to show some originality.

Today...

in America?

Even the Stig was the Stig and he wore all white!  Come on.  Ar least call him something else; Stink, McLovin, John Doe, Jack Mehoffe, Bob, Him, Thing, It, Driver A, Anti Stig, American Stig, Ken (is in Barbie), Lead Foot, etc.............. 

ML's right.  The presenters seem like strangers.  That should get better as the show continues but I'm not sure about the bearded guy.  Unless he improves, they may need to make some changes.

I will watch it next week and probably the rest of the season. 


Thread jack:  Sunday night was a good TV night (even though I fell asleep, good thing for DVR.)  Top Gear, Brew Master and Walking Dead.  A show about cars, a show about beer and a show about zombies, I'm almost set.  All I need now is a show about Bourbon and about Ducati's.  What else could a man ask for from television.

I know, when they dig up the Bionic Man I'll seriously consider ebay'ing my TV.
