I'm amazed there isn't a US version of it by now. It's unquestionably one of the best shows on cable. How can you dislike a show that brought this:

Top Gear Skeet on YouTube (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8917730350468263249)

Todd there is one. Just hasn't aired yet. Already taped a few episodes. Hosted by adam corolla. Going to be terrible imo. The Office is the only transfer show I've seen done well. Hope I'm wrong. We'll see.

Where have you been Mr. Internet? Jay leno said no because he's sure sponsors won't let him be honest about the cars. Jerry Seinfield said no as well I think for the same reasons....

That is definitely one of the best parts of Top Gear, they're not afraid to point out the negatives.

Supposedly NBC says they can criticize all they want.

Here are 2 links with info.

My ass they can.

If they do allow anything remotely negative, it will be comments like 'oh these cupholders here, they don't fit a xxxxxxl mega gulp cup, thats too bad'

Top Gear is awesome.

I agree. I'll be surprised if they get a full season out of it. How do you even compare to the one in the UK? Why BBC America can't/won't broadcast the entire-non edited versions is beyond me. I just download them.

Funny - how about a special race? Black Stig versus White Stig, London studios to Berlin, maybe?

Cars? Porsche and Ferrari, or identical Aston Martins? Winner gets the job.

Better idea:

Me versus either one of them. I know I'll lose, but I would have a lot of fun in the process. :cool:

Anyone catch the Top Gear Winter Olympics special? Biathlon with SUV's, and Clarkson using an MP5 :)
