Holy mother of God they have managed to take a great show and make it worse than top gear America.
quote:thats kinda my point. the after show sucks and is still better than Top Gear UK and Top Gear USA
The after show sucks too. Already seems like the BBC is attempting to make up for Clarksons non pc ways and general disdained for govt and BBC regs (and ideology )
quote:as they said on the best of show. Top Gear made learning the technical aspects of what they are doing fun.
It made no sense to cast Matt LeBlanc. He's not known as a car guy, in any fashion.
I have no idea who "Chris Evans" is, other than the name of the guy playing the current Captain America...and he's into bikes, anyway.
Top Gear was probably one of the best all-around TV shows ever created. Even if you weren't that into cars, the show could still win you over with its amazing scenery, the hilarity of the chemistry between the 3 hosts, and the stupid crap they did to one another on a weekly (on the show) basis.

I don't know anything about cars. I don't care to know anything about cars. And I watched it regularly.
quote:I thought LeBlanc could grow into a good combo of the Hamster and Captain Slow.
Garbage.
LeBlanc wasn't as bad as I expected. He's way out of his element but I could see him growing into the role. Even being an ok replacement for the Hamster.
Chris Evans is absolutely terrible. I'm not going to listen to him scream at me for an hour.
quote:
Evans was terrible, but at least he was less terrible than that buffoon Clarkson, whose schtick got tiresome years ago. This show wasn't good but it showed enough hints of promise that I'll watch another episode to see where it goes from here.
quote:i didn't see it, but some reviewers pegged it as just as bad...
Anyone watch the second episode? I didn't but wonder if it was any better.
quote:my understanding was Matt was supposed to be the "car guy" while Evans was the joker. What the producers failed to understand was for all of Clarkson's buffoonery he still knew cars.
Matt LeBlanc is okay and I could easily see him growing into the role and doing a decent job.
Evans was just beyond terrible
