OK, I get it. They've got a Top Gear in the ♪land down undie♪ and, of course, THE ONE in the UK. So, why not start one here in the US, too, right? NYYAAAAAAAGGGH!!!! Wrong!! Guess again!!! They've got Aezza, Captain Crunch and Tanster and, wait for it.... the Stig. WOW. How original, right? I've seen the first and the second episodes, and each time, I could only take at most 2 minutes of continuous watching, where the rest was spent fast forwarding.
I've seen every single original Top Gear (TGUK) episode and the US version (TGUS) were pretty much cheaper copies. Episode 1 was a rip off of the TGUK scene where a Lotus Elise raced against an Apache. Episode 2 was a rip off of the TGUK scene where a blind man drove around the Top Gear Track faster than Terry Wogen, and the scene where Hammond raced an Audi A6 in Verbier against two skiers. I won't watch this anymore because I can't take it.
I'm pretty sure in the future, if there is such a thing for this show, they'll get a chihuahua named Top Gear Dog and have an Awesome Corner where they rank cars from "Stinks," "Sucks," "Alright," to "Hells Yeah" based on what Angelina Jolie would do if you come to pick her up in that car.
Every car TGUS has reviewed so far has been well covered by TGUK. When reviewing the Aston Martin V12 Vantage, they said that that was "hot rodding" the V8 Vantage, which was like fingernails on the chalkboard.
TGUS lacks originality, delivery and is painful to watch.
Save yourselves a lot of trouble. Go buy the original Top Gear Series DVDs and watch them as many times as you want, because watching Top Gear US is like eating gum that's already been chewed... and stuck under a bench... in the New York Grand Central Station... and left for an year... yep...
