    This is from the first season of the new TGUK - not the original series.
    It was pretty dull.

    The first episode of TGUS was much better - as it should be.
    Give the new series a shot at improving - as the TGUK did. Taking potshots at it right now, as it is just starting, is just stupid.

    MY opinion - and it is MY opinion - is that Rut is the best-balanced host for the show of the 3 - and shows an active interest in improving the show - a big +. Tanner needs to losen up, and probably will, as time goes on. Adam just doesn't mesh with me at all - yet. But I still think we need to see the whole first season before making a final judgment.

    Maybe it's just the British accents but that was far better than what I've seen so far on the US Top Gear.

    Anyone else watch the new real Top Gear last night? THAT will be hard to beat.

    I've only seen one episode (I don't have cable), and I thought it was pretty entertaining, especially compared to any other automotive show I'd ever seen on American television. Watching Tanner drive the Raptor through the desert was pretty freaking awesome, and the Kid Rock segment was hilarious.

    Keep up the good work, I'll watch it more when it's streaming on Netflix.

    The first season was not very good - but it improved and has become THE powerhouse of the BBC.

    The latest episode of TGUK was pretty good - James looked pleased with the outcome of the race.....
