British Top Gear sucks ass now. It's almost completely unwatchable apart from their annual road trips. I hope those guys get some money and take the show in a new direction.
wait, wait, wait..... wtf why the hell have they stolen our top gear logo and title style?
u know what i don't care let the BBC sue them, they could make British TV even better than what it is now, american TV sucks, apart from when Obama is on it!
@motormanjac249 i agree with you. british top gear is epic and the american top gear sucks ass. but bbc allowed them to make it. they're probably even doing some funding for it...
@motormanjac249 I thought us Americans were the stupid ones.
They didn't 'steal' the logo or anything. It's the same show, given permission by the BBC to make, just shown to a different audience. Australia has done the same thing.
Also, Idk where all you brits get off thinking you're some kind of entertainment gods or something.
Are you forgetting where HOLLYWOOD is? Most of the best movies, music, tv shows and entertainers in the world came from hollywood.
they can create show with great and expensive cars, but they cant remake show based on personalities of three british moderators, their sense of humor and world view. but I understand, american viewers are more pleased with show that doesnt embarrasses their cars and their life style.
Seriously History Channel, just bring back Tales of the Gun and other shows about different wars or historical events or guns. No more of this American Pickers/Ice Road Truckers/Pawn Stars garbage. And no more stupid shows like Ancient Aliens or that Monsters show that are clearly 100% bullshit. MAKE SHOWS ABOUT HISTORY GOD DAMMIT!!!

This American Top Gear is BAD. I would've been fine with you guys just showing the UK Top gear on here like Discovery did a few years back.These hosts are BAD.
@xXxVictorySaberxXx Very true. Did you watch the first episode where Dominic Monaghan was the guest? He looked like he REALLY didn't want to be there.
This show SUCKS although licenced by the BBC they should pull it off the air, its the worst car show on the box, the content is shit ,the hosts are shit, the dialogue is shit
of course this will never be better than the british show, NEVER not even close but I bet will be the best car show in the US and maybe someday in future it will be good if survives to a second season
Why does united states television producers keep copying British television and getting it wrong ?
TOP GEAR is a British mark and excellent for many years. This History channel ripoff, probably paying the British agents a large fee, is really garbage.
Ok everyone thumbs up and maybe JUST MAYBE they will look at their videos and read the comments. Here is how to really fix the show:
1. Stop scripting. It feels cliche, unnatural, and boring. Let them figure out how to present things. The laughs will come along and so will the chemistry.
2. As far as I can tell, new hosts are needed. Get rid of Rutledge and Adam Ferrara....replace them with Adam Corolla and Jay Leno. Honestly that would improve it a ton already.
@gheffty93 Jay Leno already got asked and turned them down because he didn't think it would be as good as the British version. And as far as I can tell, Adam Carolla is an ass, so I'd substitute Matt Farah.
I agree about the scripted thing. I've noticed the British version starting to lean more toward being scripted (too many things go too wrong, and too perfectly to not be planned) but they do it with much better subtlety.
However, this version is still better than the first season of TGUK.
@JETZcorp I agree that its better than TGUK's first season...and I know Leno turned it down the first time but i think he should reconsider. I mean I cant think of anyone more perfect for the job. He would be the one to make it unique from the original and make it worth watching. He would be like our Jeremy Clarkson. Maybe not as witty as Clarkson but damn close.
@gheffty93 Absolutely. If Jay could be gotten onto the team, he would certainly improve the show. He does a great job with the videos on Leno's Garage!
BRITISH Top Gear is 10 times better it says 350 million viewers but that is BRITISH top gear which is 10 times better than this will ever be NEVER remake an original.
THUMPS UP if you think (british) top gear is a lot better.
Way to jump on the lame remake bus, History Channel. I watch your programming often...and usually enjoy it, but I will NOT be tuning in to "Top Gear" (aka another weak American rip-off of a mediocre British show).
@laughingcrows goofball guys? Look up tanner foust and tell me he is a "goofball guy" and then tell me that all three of the guys on the original arent exactly the same.... ?
To reproduce a "Terrific current" show. Not a chance.
Kinda like the "Honeymooners" movie a few years back.
What's next? Maybe the "Syfy Channel" can come out with a Fresh New Show. They could call it "Being Human". I bet the Brits don't have anything like that...
What a Crap Show. "Big Star in a Small Car". Buzz Aldrin, an American Icon. The stories I'm sure he could/can tell but on the first episode? They couldn't get anyone else for the first episode? Maybe Chris Pine, Shia LaBeouf or Bradley Cooper... Come on! If they needed someone with a few miles how about George Clooney or Denzel Washington. I was waiting for the folks from the home to come and collect Buzz.
The one reason I hate this show despite the fact that I have yet to see it, is because UK's Top Gear has already gotten me like a fanboy is to his xbox360. It's going to be tough to sway me from stopping my constant bashing of the show.
@bk360 well thanks to clarkson, he sold the right to the history channel to make a new one. He's making a fortune off of it. and all that says to me is that he's just a greedy brit. I've lost my respect for him perhaps you should too.
This is a win/win for the BBC. They licensed this American version. They will do none of the work and collect much of the pay. In addition to that, it will make the American fans of the BBC version even more loyal to Clarkson, May & Hammond. I'm glad that they don't appear to have a Stig. Of course, Ben Collins is gone now, so neither does the BBC version (yet).
american top gear suck balls of the dirtiest pigs, british top gear rules and clarckson is a god of god's greetings from poland 4 british
