About this show

It began life in 1977 as a conventional motoring magazine show. Relaunched in 2002 in a longer format, it pulled in an international audience of around 150 million viewers around the world. Irreverent, witty and unbiasedly honest, the Top Gear team and The Stig take cars to the limit and beyond to find out if they're any good or not. If you want to know how big the boot is, look elsewhere. Full of stunts, challenges and special features, Top Gear is self-deprecating, inclusive and passionate, giving authoritative information, entertainment and no little style.

Painful is the only word I can think of while watching the two new shows (episode 1 & 2). Before season 23 the show had three flawed characters ( Jeremy,James and Richard), which over time seemed to become your friends. They seemed to bring their own views and biases about motoring into the show. Now we have Chris Evans, who I can't sympathize or connect with at all and Matt Leblanc which I can only see as the potential Saviour the of the show. I am not sure why the idea of reducing the number of presenters from three to two seemed like a good idea. With that decision the producers took away the fighting school boys dynamic from the show. There was also the connection to the average man appeal which has been severed. Example: The reasonable priced car around the airfield has been replaced with a rally car, hence the severed connection to the average consumer. It may be possible that a cheap car challenge is still to come in this season, but my gut feeling says, no. In short the second episode felt like Graham Norton with cars. Graham Norton is a good show but I am here to watch Top Gear. Ran out of space - In short Chris Evans should get his act together or hand over to Matt&Co

The absolute best show in the whole world. If I could marry the show in a non homosexual way and maybe bang one of the hot British chicks with the accent you know, I totally would do it. I mean wouldn't you as long as she doesn't have like gross stereotypical teeth with hairy moles on her face like the typical portrayal of a homely British housewife. I mean like a city girl. Maybe one of those super sexy British black chicks you see on t.v. Like that spice girl on America's got Talent or whatever, Mel B.

Man or woman this is a show that all will love. Sophomoric humor at its best and truly beautiful cinematography. Just ignore everything beyond season 22. Cris Evans lacks substance and merely annoys with his superficial thoughts that lack substance & intelligence. He loves Ferrari but sees nothing else. If he's fired this show has a genuine hope.
