I found it by accident, thought I would give it a chance. It's not too bad for a first episode, but I do see plenty of room for improvement.

Adam Corolla is well named, he is about exciting as a Toyota Corolla.

I bailed after .5 hour(bedtime).
It wasn't fantastic but I would watch it again.

Needs more actual car stuff -- drop the trivia game, the interviews, and cut the 0-60 segment topics down to three. Then add more cars.
Dan Neil is annoying. The "plump" guy and the ball player needed more time, and Dan stole if from them. |

When did Adam Corolla start channelling Gilbert Godfried? Other than that I enjoyed that the humor wasn't limited to PG like it is on US Top Gear.

I think I'll pass. Although I'm sure a legitimate car guy, I can only take so much of Carolla's voice. As for Matt Farah, apparently one can still land employment as an automotive enthusiast personality even though you clearly can't tell the difference between a Ferrari 250 GTO and a re-bodied Datsun.

1st Episode vs 1st Episode I would say The Car Show was slightly better than Top Gear (USA version of course). But I think by the end of the season Top Gear was getting better, and the Alaska episode was actually worth watching, I hope The Car Show can follow suit because if they have too many more yawn fests like the opening show I won't be tuning in much longer.

Better than US Top Gear, nowhere near BBC TG, but it's the first episode: give them a chance. I always thought the 3 best co-hosts for this show would be:
-Adam Corolla -Jerry Seinfeild -Jay Leno Now how entertaining would that be...very funny, very knowledgeable.

Slow out of the gate, but first show
First time out of the timing lights, it was OK. Needs and with time should improve and yes I feel it better than US Top Gear. Adam was working on being funny or trying be the joker in the group. Pinks all out the time slot before was better this week.

Wasn't too bad, they have a shot at becoming a good show I think. Not sure why the basketball player is on the show though, he's not very useful....
I have to make sure I TIVOed this right but It was low def??? New show not in high def? Anyway, tough crowd, it's entertaining. I like Matt farah... |
