Thats what i'm worried about. Tanner is cool guy (so i've been told) but i'm worried that the series will be one sided as tanner might be the only one with knowledge and passion about cars.

Tanner is akward on camera, the chubby dude was easily the best on camera. Isnt the third dude an actor?

Techsalvager 11-21-2010 11:06 PM

loved it

Sucked HARD.

Complaining about the lack of cupholders in a Lambo. Seriously? Let's continue to perpetuate the stupid American don't know shit about cars.

Cobra attack copter against a Viper? Seriously? I wish they would have lit them up for real. "Might" have saved the show if they did that.

It wasn't at all bad, just very awkward. If the BBC version didn't exist, this wouldn't seem so weird.

Techsalvager 11-21-2010 11:22 PM

Love the test track, alot different setup compared to TG:UK track

Walking Dead and Boardwalk Empire > Top Gear America. Probably won't fux with that show.

Watched the WD encore. Very entertaining.

Only thing I hate about that show is the over done stare downs. This week was the lady and her dead younger sister (her screaming sucked to) and last week it was the guy and his wife while they fucked. The show is too awesome for the soap opera crap like that.

Just remembered the stare down from the first episode. Black zombie lady through the peep hole in the door. Still baderasser than a lot of shows.

They need to replace mole guy with someone like Christopher Titus.
More FAIL for not doing the standing mile at the same time.

soflarick 11-22-2010 12:49 AM

You'd need A LOT of room to do that, and that may have been a condition of lending the cars to the show. There was over $1m worth of cars there, it would have been a very expensive accident.

x808drifter 11-22-2010 01:07 AM

^True...

I watched the first half and then got pulled away. Not too bad, made me laugh in some places. Hopefully it will get better. Someone on this forum knows the bearded dude, said he was a totally cool, car guy.

I'll give it a couple more chances, I had fun watching Tanner throw that Viper around.

I havent watched the new episode yet, but the guys wife and the other guy do actually have sex like that in the Walking Dead graphic novel.

We should give them a few episodes to work on chemistry, the old Top Gear shows are terrible. The first season of Curb Your Enthusiasm was unwatchable, then became one of my favorites a few years later.

Pitlab77 11-22-2010 09:47 AM

I was all set to watch it last night but my GF made dinner and I decided dinner with GF > than TPG America. Sounds like I made the right choice.

Now to dl and watch it and see if it is putrid crap like the commercials made it seem.

mgeoffriau 11-22-2010 09:49 AM

Jalopnik mentioned that the first episode was pretty clunky, the second episode was an improvement, and the third episode actually felt pretty natural. We'll see. Well, I won't, I don't have cable, but I guess you guys will see.

ianferrell 11-22-2010 10:05 AM

At least it was better than top gear australia... That shit was painful. Also, moleman needs to be replaced, every time he's on camera its all you can see... esp. when he's driving a car.

buffon01 11-22-2010 10:24 AM

Shit. Pure shit. Lambos really? Why? because Akon watches you scrub on the floor from him Lamborghini Gallardo?

Braineack 11-22-2010 11:21 AM

i watched 2 minutes. couldn't stand it. I enjoy watching silly looking brits doing silly things.

What i dont enjoy: watching chubby douches doing douchey things spitting out douchey scripts.
