If you’re bored, turn on 60 Minutes on CBS ASAP. They’ll be having a Top Gear interview thing real soon. ---

interesting to see that angle of top gear. Odd to see 60 minutes paying attention to them, that segment had literally no point to it at all. There is a show called top gear; here it is. Moving on now. ---

It was amusing to see them interviewed by the American media, but that’s about it. There really was no point to it whatsoever. ---

what do you mean no point? Top gear is one of the biggest TV shows in the world and most Americans have never heard of it, is that alone not a reason for a show like 60 minutes to profile it? ---

I thought it was a good interview and summed it up for an audience this side of the “pond.” ---

Definitely an overt “North American” feel to the interview. “Campers, or what the British call _cara-vans_” ---

my EVP saw this segment and asked me about it in the car today… i jsut finished a 40 minute description of why TOP GEAR is the best show ever and capped it by showing them the Feista Beach Assault video on youtube… case closed… thanks 60 minutes for bringing the rest of North America up to speed with what our demographic already knows. ---

I thought it was a great segment Maybe the parent networks are trying to build some hype for a state-side top gear ---

> [@travisn](#): > > Isnt there a lame version of this in the works for US? Yep I’m sure it will last as long as top gear Australia, which wasn’t long. The show works because of those boys, plan and simple.
