Top Gear is kind of like Howard Stern...you either love it or hate it. I think it rocks. I do not understand why the US is incapable of creating a car show that isnt a 30 minute (or 60 minute) advertisement.
Bingo!
So much brown nosing, so watered down...so scripted...It's literally like the old LS1. Afraid to say anything bad about a product 'cos you don't want to offend your adverstisers.
Recently, a show I worked on got a chunk of the show edited out (days before it's aired, c@ck suckers). Reason? The show's lawyers afraid to be sued because a display of some products being used to help sick children in a hospital.
It's a hard work to put on a good, entertaining show...
