BBC and DVR is how I get my Top Gear fix. I really hope they don’t ruin it by bringing it here, Jay is absolutely right, it could never work here.
i just won’t watch it anymore if they bring it to the US. you cannot replace 3 British guys who know tons about cars, can drive like hell and have the smartass attitude of a comedian.
The US producers will absolutely ruin it.
Yeah, Americanizing the show would certainly wreck it. During the writer’s strike I was really surprised that the networks didn’t just import shows from the UK and Australia and maybe reasons like offending the sponsors might have been one of the reasons they didn’t do that.
Why can’t Jay just start his own show?
Why does he need people to come to him?
Why can’t they get non automotive sponsors?
Anyone with a brain would know it would be a great place to advertise.
Beer companies, auto parts stores, condom companies, tires, Viagra, Kingsford, etc.:biglaugh:
