british top gear > american top gear
that... i watch BBC top gear religiously, and the american version is no comparison...
camera work and edited are EPIC in recent years of BBC version... US version looks like it was shot by someone here on SFLD with a point and shoot being held in thier hands...
bland commentary from foust is meh, he know's his shit and can drive, but he doesn't have "IT" ya know?
fat guy is cool though...
remember, this show is in it's infancy, if you go back and look at some of BBC's first episodes, it was kind of the same... and for like the first what? two seasons that had "that other guy" before they got James May..
the chemistry between Clarkson, Hammond, and May, with the EPIC filming and editing in the BBC version has set the bar REALLY high, that's the reason the show is so popular...
unfortunatly, US version doesnt seem to have good filming, editing, or host chemistry...
and what the fuck? "big star in a small car"? jesus... it's the same show, keep the same names for shit, IT WORKS....
end rant... i was just really disappointed, been waiting on this a while, and it let me down... but i'll still watch....
