hmmm but this thread has a link to the full episode and it's more for the response from car guys....

wearing a fail rain coat for now.

[EmOne]

terrible, people are still not getting that the hosts make the show. I would still watch the UK version if they were testing lawn mowers instead of cars.
The fat guy is ok, tanner has no personality and the other guy is just a douche, cant stand his face.
Also the cinematography and the music sucks ass, and the interview felt so rushed. Lastly, History channel? REALLY?
Keep tanner because he can drive, replace the other two with someone older.

[EmOne]

Sad thing is most Americans and nascar fans will circle jerk it because they've never seen the UK version and think its the best car show on TV.

[ilvtofu]

Where is Adam Carolla I love that man, such a gearhead and so much character :mad:

Halfway through the video not that great so far

The first quick lap was pretty poorly filmed

[Lomac]

I think I'm in the minority here, but I actually didn't mind it.

Yes, the chemistry isn't there yet but give it some time. TG UK's chemistry wasn't exactly that good during the first season either. As well, the energy during the "live" section wasn't great, but again you need to give it some time for the guys to become familiar with hosting and poking jibes and one another. As for the music... well, if you're going to complain about something like that, you clearly have no idea how much it costs in royalty fees to play even a ten second clip of a known song. The History channel can't compete with the BBC in terms of how much money they have to throw around.

That said, apart from the jittery in-car feed, the camera work was on-par with TG UK, and there were definitely hints in this episode about what it's potential can definitely be.

Like all pilot episodes, it's going to be among the worst. I can foresee it getting much better.

[hk20000]

lol half way through it I turned on the TV and watch Canada's Worst Driver instead LOL.

wow but I don't know how they managed to make a show that leaves me drier than a bowl of pepper.

It's like Fifth Gear with 50pts of IQ taken away.

at least motor week is informative.

I admit that its good for what it is but UK TG has set the bar so high that any attempt to imitate it results in dog shit.
I hope it gets better, because this being America it will get canned if the ratings suck.

[death_blossom]

Sad thing is most Americans and nascar fans will circle jerk it because they've never seen the UK version and think its the best car show on TV.somehow, I also forsee this happening. this version is almost identically to the UK version. as soon as I saw the show opening with the hosts in the air-hangar/warehouse type place, I knew it was gonna be less than great. I thought they would spice things up and make the show into their own American flavored TG, but it just ends up being a rip-off of the original.

the USA TG track appears to be high speed oriented. the corners aren't tight enough, so this will favor high-hp cars. I suspect all the "big stars" in their "small car" will be lapping very similar times which won't make the segment very fun or varied.

Where is Adam Carolla I love that man, such a gearhead and so much character :mad:I was also upset when I heard Adam Carolla was off the show.

[sliq]

Jay Leno should host this show

[maxx]

I have some constructive criticism,

Not bad. I wont even bother comparing it with the original, but comparing it to Australia and even Russia, its not too bad.
You can tell that there is still a lot of bonding to be done between the presenters. The lambo part started out awesome, half way though, I started falling asleep, due to dreary voices and obvious statements.

The music, and the voices during road tests still need a lot of work. And the cameras shaking at higher speeds is not good either.

Lots of room for improvement, and i hope they work on jokes and antics much more.

Wit ~= the chemistry, that's the premise/setup.

The stunts... although staged or whatever, you could tell enough in the UK one, but it was funny anyways

needs to be less BORING... i mean, do you know why top gear UK doesn't tell us what we can read on the internet about those cars? reminds me of that line from tokyo drift "wow, you can read the brochure"

Stig did seem a bit off... not nearly as pro as Ben Collins used to be. Then again, Black stig in UK one was noob too, even up to the point they killed him off.

[bloodmack]

i am a hugeee TG fan and I didnt mind it but it definitely needs some work..

[ae101]

the show kind put me off with 90% of the jokes being bad & how its not as daring as the uk version (seriously i was disappointed when there was no missiles)

but seriously i still duno why history channel picked up the damn show anyways (looks a little out of place in a way)

[satek]

Give it some time, it's only the first episode.

If it's about cars I'll watch it, hell I even watch the aussie version.

[hk20000]

Aussie versions are good laughs at least and they don't have a super douche host like the US version does...

[carmaniac]

Everyone tends to forget (or are ignorant) about how bad the first couple seasons of the reborn UK Top Gear were...

This is not bad, the chemistry needs some work, but from their current interviews on the blogs it seems to be pretty good.

Good interview with the three, but some spoilers about the shows here:

episode 2: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

better then the first but they really need to change the presenters. Matt Farah would be my pick. They're already as good as fifth gear...

top gear uk only put EACH OTHER at risks not public, tanner & the skiers were just way to friendly with each other but seriously u must admit that tanners drive in the evo was pretty good but after that i think i fell asleep dun think i anything after that

The production quality is there. They aren't being cheap.

But yes, the hosts are boring.

That being said, give them some time. Chemistry doesn't happen overnight. I bet most of you have never seen season one of the current format of Top Gear. I bet most of you started watching when the series became available widespread on the net in S3 or S4 when the show was starting to get really, really good...right around the time they did their first race with the DB9 and the bullet train.

In season 1, they had some guy rather than James May and he was terrible. Even in season 2 when May joined, they weren't amazing. They were better than the Top Gear US hosts are now but they certainly weren't what they are now.

Give the US hosts some time. They're boring now but they might get better. I'll give them two seasons before I stop watching.

Their only advantage, I think, is that they have a guy that can SERIOUSLY drive a car. Clarkson, Hammond and May are all capable but they're all old and out of shape. It's too bad that drifting guy has the personality of cardboard. Only the guy with the glasses looks like he might be entertaining right now.

[ae101]

u mean jason dawe (i watch them back in 2002 when shaw had free bbc), & i can't believe that the funniest person is not adam cuz hes a comedian

other then that the show needs a bit of work when it comes to the joke cuz when they intro the stig its boring, i wish they use the line "some say" with the end "all we know is hes called the stig"

word

i watched every season of Topgear UK and it was pretty lame and embarrasing to watch some of their earlier episodes.

i think everyone has high expectations from the current Topgear UK and anything short of the expectation results in failure.

it's boring but i will keep watching topgear USA for now.

here is a good indepth interview with the three hosts. they seem like they have a solid chemistry off the set. just need to use that on set and make it work for the show.

So far the show for me is OK, not as terrible as I thought It would be but not all that great either. All in all, its just a holdover for me til top gear UK returns.

You should rewatch it yourself and think about it a bit. They just did some video editing and acting to make it seem like they ripped it past the tour bus in an attempt to make video more exciting.
In reality, it is just the film truck he is passing.
Any time you see other cars or pedestrians by him, he is driving at an appropriate speed.
For all the high speed runs, I'm sure they had the road cleared.

[FN-2199]

Everybody is bitching on how bad and boring the show and the hosts are. Give it time. You're all very used to how Top Gear UK is being presented thus far, and are pretty much bored with USA. This one just started, so give it time to sprout.

i agree and disagree. no top gear uk hosts did not have chemistry on their pilot, but the content and entertainment factor was through the roof with the first episode. and thats without another shows template to copy like top gear usa has. (dont count the original top gear because its completely different)

top gear uk had a friggin zonda and murc on their first ep. and they already knew 'a star in a reasonably priced car' was going to be a hit... and it still is 15 seasons later.

if top gear usa was the original top gear, the show would be decent. but since theres top gear uk to watch instead, why bother watching top gear usa? IMO

[ilvtofu]

However, I really wish Adam Carolla was part of this and not this Adam Ferrara guy, it would've made things infinitely more interesting having more than one actual car guy (I know Wood is a host on speed, but it's for NASCAR. C'mon...)

Becouse he hosts NASCAR, hes not a car guy?

He hosts NASCAR and among his many car projects has an 83 CVCC hes rebuilding with a B18 swap.

I actually Met him at this last SEMA through a mutal friend, and he can shoot the shit about cars (import or domestic), trucks, whatever. Hes a car guy.

Wood seems way more entertaining on this show than Both the Adam guy or Tanner to me.

Fuck Top Gear US...the BBC one is back for a bit.

"Ah, Rich...would you like some PUSSY?"

[!Aznboi128]

I must say they're getting better. Have you guys watched the 1st season of top gear. They barly talked to each other and the fat guy kept talking about deals.... Sure it didn't work out but look at it now 15 seasons and we love it.

The challenge was great jumping caddy was awesome. Tanner just needs to loosen up a little, woods is hilarious tho some things he says is kinda off "brits are liars cause they put a 200mph speedo on a car that only goes 180~". The other guy, adam. Must say pretty week but I'm sure they'll get better. Once they work with each other for a bit I'm sure they'll be just as good as uk.

You do realize how popular Nascar is in the States, right? Pick any mainstream autoracing sport and it will still stand at the top. They're simply picking a market that they know they can cater to. Remember, they're trying to get new viewers, not convert all of the existing TG:UK ones.

[sonick]

You do realize how popular Nascar is in the States, right? Yes, they are the fastest growing sport in the US, I know.

[hk20000]

http://www.history.com/shows/top-gear/videos/playlists/full-episodes#top-gear-used-car-salesmen

this episode is rather fun. It's unique and genuinely not a ripoff from TG UK, and the jokes do work. Tim Allen is not that interesting but the stupid stuff they'd do to sell a car is not as much of a top gear ripoff as other stuff they have done until now. Tanner Foust is getting the hang of it and being less of a bore, too. Which is always a good thing.

[TheMatty]

its def got growing pains, but rutledge is hilarious. his voicemail msg won major points in my ferris beuller loving heart

[hk20000]

So the season came to an end, and this is my understanding...

From the car salesman episode you can tell they are not going to hold any punches when they laugh at stupid cars, whether they are American or foreign..

Which explains, in the greater picture, why they are stuck with History channel - probably only channel out there not affiliated with some car maker in one way or another, making honest "Car guy's show for car guys" without the commercial strings attached in the back all but impossible when you are going to have to hold back because the channel is associated with this brand or this other brand....

So they got the platform to talk whatever they want about whatever cars they want in whatever manner they like..... Which is important for a show like Top Gear.

But that also means they are very limited on fundings. BBC2 couldn't care less what they do with car makers' relationships because it's the taxpayer's money, but they are also filthy rich and they have the RAF and other government arms behind them to help them making all those larger than life stunts we have all come to expect and love from the original TG.

And then there's TGUSA. If we are to duplicate the situation, and recreate the perfect storm they have been riding on in TGUK, you are talking about a government TV channel that is not backed by private sector in its entirety.....

...Which sadly, does not exist in a purely capitalistic non-royal society that makes up the US of A.

So the arrangement is probably as ideal as it gets for the TG production environment. Now TGUSA has to look for more money somehow, if the first season (which we have all seen in its entirely) takes off and becomes a returning show, they just might be able to find sponsors without conflicting interest to sponsor the production of the next season.

So given the arrangement so far, there is still hope that there will be a genuinely entertaining top gear for the US of A eventually.

[hk20000]

Oh there's also the finale episode of America's toughest truck....They made some stupid jokes about Canada too since they were in Alaska.

I actually started to really enjoy the last few episodes. Yes, it still has some work needing to be done to it, but you can already see the chemistry growing between the hosts. The used care salesman segment was amusing and I was actually laughing out loud quite a few times during the truck special in the last episode. As hk2000 said, they're unfortunately stuck in a bit of a tough spot... Yes, History Channel isn't really affiliated with any automotive manufacturers (as fas as I can tell, anyway), but they don't have a lot of money to throw around. They truly need some greater financial backing if we want to view stunts similar to TG:UK, though I doubt we'll ever see anything of that calibre... at least, not for a while. I'm sure the USAF/Marine Corp/etc will be willing to help out if ever asked (that portion of the government always seems to enjoy helping out with films and tv shows, provided it doesn't paint them in a negative light), but that's probably about it. Honestly, I would love to see this show come back for another season with some greater financial backing in order to let them show off what they can truly do.

Wow, I didn't realize this shows already been on for a full season. I thought yesterday wad the first episode until I saw this thread. LOL. I guess that means I font have to wait every week, I'm sure I can find the torrents somewhere.

Anyone else think that "The Stig" is Paul Tracy?
