ImUrOBGYN Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Just thought I'd let you guys know that the first two episodes are out. Didn't even know it. Happen to see them while perusing some tv show torrents. Downloaded them but haven't watched them, yet. I'm not a "review" kinda guy, but I'll try to give a bit of rundown once I've watched the first one unless someone else steps up first.

I'm not a "review" kinda guy, but I'll try to give a bit of rundown once I've watched the first one unless someone else steps up first. Just downloaded it as well. I'm pretty overwhelmed having Top Gear, Top Gear Australia, Top Gear America coming up and Fifth Gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spankis Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 I don't really watch fifth gear, but I religiously watch the original Top Gear as episodes are aired; I'll try this out too. Any of you guys use piranha for top gear and other automotive stuff? I see that both are already up there. It's kinda like the "fight club" of racing/car torrent sites .

Rally Pat Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Ive seen the first episode. You cant go into expecting the Top Gear you are used to. If you go in with that mentality, you will despise it. I think its a pretty entertaining stand alone car show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coty061885 Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 I never had a problem with Australian accents until I watched the two episodes. Those presenters voices get on my nerves after a few minutes. Other than that, I think that if they separate themselves a little bit more from the original formula they can find some of their own strengths to work on. Right now it's just too much of a copy of the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted October 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Well, after watching the first episode: The Australian hosts don't have quite the level of chemistry and humor as their British counterparts at this point but fans of the Stig will be happy to know he's gone "down under". I believe the original film crew may be a bit better, too. It's mostly noticable during filming of track runs and the like. Final thought: If you're a fan of the original Top Gear, I recommend it as it's more of the same; damn near literally. It follows the exact same forumla. You can always go and look it up here: http://www.tv.com I'm sure it'll be there, I haven't looked, yet, since I just watched it instead. Looks like the 2nd episode will have a little Holden vs Ford action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Apex Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 When us the U.S. version due out?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coty061885 Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 When us the U.S. version due out?? Should be pretty soon this fall. They've already filmed the first couple of episodes back in the summer. Probably taking their time editing it together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 I am not real sure if that show can be syndicated out like that and work, might even kill the original Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87GT Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Like The Office? Yeah the USA version of the office isn't that good... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted October 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Yeah the USA version of the office isn't that good... I tried watching the original, couldn't get into it. I love the US one. I do like British humor so that's not the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
