Top Gear US: episode three this weekend

I am curious as to why it matters which version of Top Gear people enjoy. I rather like both of them, granted the UK version is a bit better in structure, and the presenters mesh better, but remember, it’s been going since 2002, TopGearUS has not. I think both are great programs and am excited for every series regardless of origin. I don’t get why people need to complain about an episode they don’t like, they aren’t catering to you, they’re catering to the millions of other viewers who quite enjoy everything, from serious car films to funny challenges, from accents with drawn out vowels to wide-mouthed vowels.

Thank you very much.

Don’t take this the wrong way but series 17 kinda sucked balls to this yank. I was not impressed at all and I have seen every episode. As for the US version, it is no UK version but I love it just the same! Still a great show! I really enjoyed last nights dualie episode. These trucks are not meant to be a personal car, they are meant to work hard all day and then go to town at night in style. As a farm boy with a big diesel myself I can fully appreciate it! What other vehicle can pull 3 wagons to the grain elevator, haul a couple tons of straw to the barn, tow a goose neck trailer full of cattle to a different pasture and then take you and your girl out to a nice dinner later that night. Get real, these trucks are anything but frivolous!

I’m north of 40 (like anyone really cares) and I’m still not a fan of the US version. Unfortunately, I haven’t seen much of S17 yet here – (Netflix only goes to 1/2way through season 16, and BBC America is mostly showing Season 16 episodes… never mind that BBC America and Time Warner Cable are in a snit fit as to broadcast billing… meaning that we’re likely to lose it altogether locally). I’d much rather soak through episodes of Season *7* rather than watch the US version… this truck episode, which I did suffer through part of it… just shows how disjointed the presenters are, and they don’t even disagree well together (something Jeremy, Richard and Captain Slow are very good at doing)….

|What was the name of the car that was on last nights show??? the little awd thing that was a whole bunch of cars mashed together??

ye haw lets tow things with big old dullies

there should only be top gear uk and only top ggear uk. not some stupid yanky version that is just for red necks that like pick up trucks. this is the seconed “2″ episoed all about trucks come on it should be baned from tv.

racer 13 have you ever watched top gear uk or did somebody tell you about when jeremy drove the lightning?

down with top gear usa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  !!!

Here’s an idea for the next series of TG UK:

Which cheap saloon is best equipped to get through rioters in London?

How are those anti gun laws working out?

“Excuse me, Sir. I’m an unarmed London police officer and I’d like to ask you to stop looting, pillaging, raping and plundering. Please?”

Seriously Top Gear. This show sucks. There’s no way on earth you can watch more than 30 seconds of it and disagree. We all know its a fail. You need to kill this crap and bury it like the Star Wars Christmas special. That said, if you’re not gonna stop making Top Gear US(uck) at least change the name of the show and save yourselves the embarrassment. Why not rename it ‘The Ambiguously Gay Trio”? I’m sure Ace and Gary won’t mind.

Ambiguously Gay?? Have you seen James May’s shirts and Richard Hammond’s little cowboy outfits? How about his pukka shell necklace?

That’s blatant.

Top Gear USA. Is this the same people who did the “Thunderbird’s ” show ?

Because, I can barley see the strings moving the drivers, and they walk better these days without that bopping. Except for the big puppet,the movement still looks unnatural.

Will they go out to the space station this season. I loved how they stuck Alan out there to get him off the island. The Asian chick was hot ! Will they add one to this show ?

*Sigh*

The majority of these comments are stupid. The original Top Gear and TGUS can both exist. You don’t have to choose between them. I’ll be watching them both. If you hate TGUS, guess what? You don’t have to watch it! Wow, what a concept! So quit your feces throwing and get over yourselves.

One thing not mentioned is the same production company is making both of these shows (hence why you see posts about TGUS on this website). So, if you sooooo much hate TGUS, – which is fine – why would you want it to fail? A successful show would mean more money in the pockets of the production company and perhaps they can have a season longer then 6 shows next time because of it.

But continue to be unreasonable and scream how crappy it is. Fine – you are operating with the same logic and capacity as all the looters on the streets.

Before i even clicked on the comments link i knew how this would turn out.. i don’t mind the American shows apart from the fact that they always like to highlight things like your supposed to be a bit dim they do it in other shows like its TOTAL suspense repeating things to make a point? that’s where the two shows differ a lot British shows have those subtle underlying things, and you just get it and appreciate it by not being treated like a 2 year old. Hammond, Jeremy and capt Slow just pull it off its years of practice. Its like sitting round the pub with your mates. the US version well those guys fight like they are still in primary school which i find amusing. in a cringe worthy way. But hey… i like American Muscle cars !!! one suggestion for the show when doing the fasted lap i would like to see a permanent HUD with the speedo that would be cool !!

” If you hate TGUS, guess what? You don’t have to watch it! Wow, what a concept! So quit your feces throwing and get over yourselves. ”

I agree with you RedCoat and we need to act on our own.

. However the problem is if enough of us quit watching the show it will be cancelled,and nobody gets to see it then.

The show is pitiful and the horrible hosts need to be changed as they have less life and charm as 3rd tier zombie.

I talked up this show to all my friends who would not dream of watching BBC/America.

In general it reminds me that when people cry about all the trash on TV. Hollywood responds with this is what the people want to watch !

So I am not supporting another lame work effort.

Top Gear USA needs:
-A Cool Wall
-News
-More Stig
-Study Clarkson, Hammond and May a bit more
-Then need a non car guy as a presenter. Any ideas?
-Most of all they need to score their challenges…
-Bigger Stars
-Stop trying to be funny and let the things happen. It is obvious….
I Still Love TG UK better, but I thing with time that TG USA can become as good.
Keep on – Drivin on

History channel’s version of Top Gear in the US…eh, where do I begin? My son & I love watching the UK Top Gear on BBCA, and when he saw there was a US version, he wanted to see if he’d like it…he’s not too impressed, especially after this episode where an F550 Super Duty pulled a switcher and 40′ dump car. How that is not impressive enough to the other dimwits is beyond me. The fact that the Ford pulled a switcher SW1200 locomotive and it’s companion car (well over 280K of heavy metal) makes my Ford family heritage very proud…as for pulling down a house or a telephone pole, most vehicles w/ any towing capacity can pull off that pathetic kind of destruction. And another thing–how much more can you overdo the childish car-tapping…yes, the UK boys do it, but not every single scene…really? can’t think of something more genuine for the US version??? sheesh…

That’s enough for now…

I think that the US Top Gear has potential. Hosts are likeable, but it should be more American based. Star in a reasonably priced car should be rethought to be more American style racing such as drag or NASCAR. It should be all it’s own. Complete with antics not similar to those in the UK version. Like the bumping into each other with a quick “sorry.” Do it like American’s would do it….SMASH into them or something.

Wow X1 you really are showing the world what the usa really are like. and btw Inpheksion Top gear has been going since the 1970s not since 2002
