I have to admit, I haven't watched the new Top Gear. I read the pre-release reviews and heard of the drama surrounding it and decided to take a pass. I miss The Grand Tour already. When does the new season start? The original Top Gear was BBC America's top ratings-getter. No other show in the schedule even came close. If they want to revive those ratings, they should abandon Flop Gear altogether, admit defeat, and give the States a real treat: Mrs. Brown's Boys. If we can't live vicariously through 3 blokes driving high end exotic cars and goofing around, at least let us laugh our collective asses off.
Now that Chris Evans is gone I'm gonna give this new format a try, that guy really rubs me the wrong way.
I've been watching Chris Harris for a few years now and he is an awesome drive, funny, and knowledgeable. Don't know much about the other two, but based on this preview I think it looks promising.
Hell, I'd forgotten that Evans isn't returning, maybe now the other people in the cast can get some screen time, I believe I heard that Reed had one feature in the entire season.
Being readily advertised here, I will probably give it a go. Since shouty man left things got better, but Matt the Blank is still there and he still has the personality of a wet telephone pole. I have no idea who the other two are, so it might be half a chance.

I don't know, but I think it's likely to be minimum 6 months between seasons.
DeleteMrs Browns Boys? I'll have to look that up.
Completely agreed, they had a lot of fun, and we enjoyed watching vicariously
