ByTor, Prince of Ro’den Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I wanted to make a place for all of us who love the bumbling antics of our favourite motoring shows to shoot the breeze. Anyway, I hate to begin with some sad news, but Top Gear USA has been canceled. http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-36649402 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarTraveller Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Argh, this show. I'm always caught between admiring it and hating its very guts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ByTor, Prince of Ro’den Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share Posted July 5, 2016 I've got the last 2 on the DVR; just not interested or bored enough to watch them. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-36707010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfsbane Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 The thing is: Evans had the energy and charisma to do Top Gear, this issue is he was very difficult to work with and most of the cast was rubbed the wrong way by him. He tried too much to be Clarkson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wulfsbane Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Find it funny how the first time Ed Sheeran drove a car it was on Top Gear Imagine having The Stig as your driving instructor. @WarTraveller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarTraveller Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I feel I'd be able to hack it in a manual car. XD I'mma be honest, I really, really didn't like the direction they took their personalities in The Grand Tour. Yes in Top Gear they played heightened versions of themselves but it felt like the BBC was keeping them from taking it too far. Then Amazon gives them free reign and they took it WAY too far. They make genuinely tasteless and unfunny jokes, mock stuff that is quite serious and their Detroit episode is painful. They went from amusingly annoying to genuinely insufferable.

Wulfsbane Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I kinda dont like how they're doint it more or less just like "special episodes" now. I liked when they actually did motoring news and tests. All the episodes are on MotorTrend for streaming and I kinda want to get it so I can watch all the old/good Top Gear episodes. Wish the BBC would make a Series 2-22 Blu-Ray collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
