Top Gear USA

Recently I watch America's version of Top Gear on BBC3 and it was one of the worst shows I'd ever seen. Top Gear is one of my faveriot shows, but the American version has taken all the good parts out of Top Gear and replaced them with stuff that isn't funny. Here's why;

1) They don't have a short presenter to take the mick out of.
2) They don't make Stig jokes.
3) The 3 presenters seem to be 3 people who have exactly the same personality.
4) All the presenters can only think of cars in a raceing scence.

They just tried too much off the successful British title, the formulas for the shows were completely different. TG America was obviously Americanized too much and then it's no fun anymore. Personally I'm a huge fan of TG, and it's mainly because of the presenters. I've seen them on Top Gear Live and they were just as awesome. Take that away and very little is left.

Actually, Nou is dutch
And personally, as much as I am against America copying a lot of British shows, I prefer the American version of Total wipeout, just because there is 2 presenters , they are both funny, and I love how they pause randomly and start drawing on stuff with a yellow pen
Richard is a really good presenter but if they could get Jeremy or James to host Total Wipeout with him, British version would beat it, no doubt

Yes, American TV is total bull. This is why I feel smarter when I watch it, because I can watch all the **** work their magic.

Although some Sitcoms such as That 70's Show and Big Bang Theory are very good shows to watch.
