BIGGU Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 everything is just so scripted thats the issue. None of the hosts have chemistry with each other which is why its not that good. Episode 2 was better than the first, but we will see how it gets in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Brian Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 It's not a BAD show, it's just not the original. Then they should have named it something different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linn1647545492 Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 i don t think that s a bad thing at all he's still a better host (presenting skills) than Tanner Foust............ Tanner's driving skills are a direct counterpart to his hosting skills....he's just dry and boring....especially when he narrates the hot laps The worst was how he introduced Stig. The second Episode was better but there is alot that needs to be worked on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagner Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 This show has been dumbed down for the American public. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linn1647545492 Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 This show has been dumbed down for the American public. With out question. They the hell did they have to explain that Stig doesn't talk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagner Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 With out question. They the hell did they have to explain that Stig doesn't talk? I also think they are trying to draw in people that are NOT Top Gear fans or know of the show. You have to remember people that are into cars and racing make up such a small portion of the market. If they were smart there would be some tweaks to the show to keep it dumb AND draw in the UK Top Gear fans. It is like the people who bitched and bitched about Pinks. They got their wish, the show is gone and now will not be replaced. AMERICA FUCK YEAH!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
944s2 Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 With out question. They the hell did they have to explain that Stig doesn't talk? To us car guys that are already into the show this seems dumb, but you have to remember they probably have 50% or more viewers that have no idea what Top Gear is or have never seen the show before. Most people don't know that the UK version is on BBC America. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littleguy Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 People complaining about Top Gear USA and Gran Turismo 5 seem like they would be happier with nothing to me. Spoiled bastards, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furloaf Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 I would be happier with nothing. My preferences in order would be: Top Gear (real, I'm not saying Top Gear UK) Nothing Top Gear American bastardization Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Karacho1647545492 Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 i'll keep saying what i've been saying all along; don't compare TGUS to Top Gear, compare it to the first season of the 2002 edition of Top Gear. You'll find that the chemistry is about the same; it takes several years and seasons to develop the chemistry May, Hamster, and Jezza have. You can tell they don't have the comfort level to insult each other on a personal level yet, but that'll come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furloaf Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 That argument isn't complete though. Even though the chemistry wasn't there yet, all 3, James, Richard, Jeremy, still knew about and had a great deal of passion for cars, and what they said about their cars was interesting and entertaining still. With the exception of Tanner the other two guys don't have a clue, on the US show, and Tanner doesn't have any presentation charisma either.

acklac7 Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 (edited) That argument isn't complete though. Even though the chemistry wasn't there yet, all 3, James, Richard, Jeremy, still knew about and had a great deal of passion for cars, and what they said about their cars was interesting and entertaining still. Not only that but they know how to drive (with the exception of May) and what to expect out of a vehicle. I just didn't get the impression the US hosts have the same field experience.

gaewsky1 Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 The hosts suck, but I don't get BBC HD on WOW cable so seeing the videography and cars in HD on the History channel is nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dammit Charlie Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 The first episode was not the greatest, but the second was way better. I love the EVO X portion of the episode. Foust is a pretty good driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
