I haven't seen the new show but, as was said earlier, there is no way a new show with new hosts could possibly come out of the gate in full charge. TGUK is my favorite TV show...meaning it is almost the only thing I watch, that being said, there are some very stupid segments that are only good to watch due to the personalities involved. TGUK is a car show, that somehow doesn't only appeal to car nuts....that's some trick. I'm going to give this show a chance, even if I don't watch it every week, I want it to succeed....having another show worth watching in the television wasteland, can't be a bad thing. Cheers

I think it has potential. It will either get better or cancelled...either way we'll know in the next couple of months.

I typically watch Top Gear / Fifth Gear sorts of shows on the computer while doing other stuff, like PPOT. Rarely would I give 100% attention to these shows unless a segment is extraordinarily awesome.

I think they need to replace one of the non Tanner Foust guys. Hes a great driver and would beat the other 2 in anything that involved turning. It was a bit funny to me when they other guys were faster and you could tell he was thinking I would beat you around a track.

If you watch the first shows of Original Top Gear you will see May isn't on the show, so maybe. This show has no chance if they don't make fun of themselves.

Not so. Those guys are just a set of wannabe idiots. Completely unbearable to watch. Much like the rest of TV. Thanks - I will watch the brits on Netflix and entertain myself with you fools on the interwebs. ;)

See, this is what is sad and pathetic. Some of you guys wanted this thing to fail before you ever even seen it.

And he did it on the first take!

When I turned 16 I thought doing burn-outs was cool and required skill.
By the time I hit 17 I knew better.

I like to keep an open mind but it was clear if the three stooges are in it, it won't be a good show. They are just painful to watch. That's fine, as most TV is painful to watch ...
