I think one of the biggest problems that Top Gear and its imitators make is trying to make the same show. Top Gear UK is good because of the way the presenters get along. Hammond as the angry little man, May as the clueless boffin and Clarkson as the trickster. They all have good chemistry together.
All the other Top Gear shows seems to think they can just plug this person in here and this one in here and they have a perfect copy...now give us the ratings. Look to just a few years ago. There was a good show on BBC called Coupling. NBC copied the BBC pilot down to the script and camera blocking. The difference was the cast. BBC cast had chemistry and the NBC cast did not. Lightening in a bottle...
