    Default Support an IA member...watch Top Gear US on History Nov. 21 10pm

    Hey gang,

    So...I'm one of the host for the new Top Gear US that BBC Worldwide Productions and History came together to make. Same great production values and fun adventures, but with cars that you can buy here and on roads that we have here. Top Gear UK is my favorite show on TV, and I know a lot of you have seen it or love it, so rest assured, I think you'll enjoy this one for lots of different reasons.

    Pretty much everyone who came out to the set and saw some of the clips and how we put it together all left saying that they were really happy with it and it was definitely not what they expected.

    The hosts are Tanner Foust (drifter, rally racer,tv car guy), Adam Ferrara (stand up comedian,actor,Chief Needles in Rescue Me), and myself.

    I hope you'll watch and love it, or watch so you can hate on it like Simon and AnthonyF....either way, I hope you watch...preferrably the first one.

    Here's the trailer that History put together for it...It is currently airing in movie theaters I believe

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vezOfu7ayso

    So please set your DVR's...Nov 21st at 10pm. Thanks !

    I will definitely watch it. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't skeptical, but I'd also be lying if I said I wasn't excited.

    Totally man...as you should be. But it's really just another chapter of the world wide brand of Top Gear. Richard Porter, the head write for the UK came and helped us with the studio part and one morning he tried to tell the audience "Think of it this way: If you like chocolate cake, we're not taking that away...just giving you some more chocolate cake." In other words, I think people's biggest fear is that once other people know about Top Gear, then suddenly this thing they cherish and think other people aren't aware of will become known. It's like every band that's amazing gets signed and then the original fans say the suck. I get it...just watch the show before you totally discount it...that's all I'm saying Thanks for keeping an open mind.

    Do you know what date they are going to air my run in the "star in a econo-car" segment. Usually, I would have already received a pre-production tape from any other studio, but so far nothing from you guys...

    Ok Rut, know you've been waiting....I will keep it clean. I gotta say, I didn't like it. I just happen to switch on ¼way through the show and it just felt wrong. You didn't revamp it at all. It sounds like a lousy copy of the original. You need to change it up a bit and not try so damn hard to get attention.

    -Ant.

    edit: Congrats on the success and I wish your show well.

    Good stuff man. I liked it. Tanner Foust wasn't as bad as I thought he was going to be.

    I snapped this shot during a commercial.

    I enjoined the show, but its just not the same. Kinda like walmart brand cola versus coca cola. Still good, but not the original.

    Top Gear USA
    1. Infinitely better than any US automotive show to date.
    2. Infinitely better than the first couple seasons of Top Gear UK relaunch.

    I can't believe so many people are griping about it, especially on Top Gear's Facebook! Name one US automotive show that can touch it's content and production values. It can't be done. Then how can anyone complain about performance cars being driven how they were built to be? That doesn't make anyone an enthusiast, that makes them a whiney bitch. Then comparing it to a series started in 1977 with the same cast the last 8 years is ridiculous, no...it's rubbish. I wouldn't care if it were hunchbacks speaking gibberish, as long as they're driving the cars so we can see how they perform and hear them doing it - I'm happy.

    It's a win and will watch again.

    As an avid fan of Top Gear for many years, I already knew what the US version would be compared to. I thought that they did great for the first episode. Its on my Tivo....

It sounds like a lousy copy of the original. You need to change it up a bit and not try so damn hard to get attention.

    edit: Congrats on the success and I wish your show well.
    Unfortunately I have to agree, gave it a fighting chance and missed Walking Dead to see it, but for a first episode especially, I was expecting better. Hopefully the season is better overall, but with Tanner and the other guy no one knows, I don't see any hope.

    WOW, i take back what i said earlier, you guys exceeded my expectations. It should only get better from here. I must say that it is better than the Ozzy version. They are just now starting to get better.

    Hope the cameras get sorted in the coming episodes. Congratulations everyone here would kill for your job.
