US Top Gear Poor Cousin compared to UK Top Gear
Discussion
Well I just finished watching a couple episodes and while I like tanner Foust the other two guys are just basically idiots on there. They are not funny, clever or witty also their little shenanigans look old and lame because we've already seen them done on the UK version a little innovation and some freshness would have gone a long way they copy the original to poor results. Luckily Adam Corolla is coming out with a show called "The Car Show" and he is funny and a real car guy so I look forward to that
Most Americans won' have seen the UK show, so it doesn't mean anything if they just change it about a bit from what's gone before on the UK show.
You also have to remember when TG cam back in it's new format it was nothing like it is now. Remember season 1 of the new format ? Looks very tame against season whatever it is now. The US show is just at it's start , the UK show is established and now has the big budget to do all the silly crap.

This, they don't even show season 1 on Dave, it was that bad.Mr_B said:

Most Americans (that would watch the US version) have seen UK Top Gear though. It shows a fair bit apparently.

Agreed on the next point, I think it will grow and improve with time.

The Aussie one is ok. Give that a try as well.
Only the ashes episode, the rest were dire.By far and away the best episode of TG US was the season finale - very much in keeping with the UK epic trips, cross country in some cheap american 4x4s, with the dreaded toyota as backup if they failed. Epic, and very entertaining.
Hopefully they'll come back for a second season, it improved massively over its run.
