Previously I wrote about Top Gear. Here are some updates:
Regarding the American Adaptation, NBC decided to pass up on it, citing they couldn’t get a cast together! Well I have to say I’m relieved they didn’t try with a subpar hosting crew and then *Americanize* (read, *rice rocketize*) a fantastic show! If you watch(ed) the show you know how important the hosts are and they probably account for 80% of the appeal, though there are some SWEET cars they test!
I really only have one regret regarding this cancellation, well maybe a few. After I heard about the adaptation and I was naturally skeptical, I heard they had signed Adam Corolla, who I think is funny, to host. I think he would’ve been a good Clarkson replacement.
The other regrets are related to the coming *downers* regarding the UK version. They have announced a new season will not be beginning on June 15th!!! In fact there’s no word when it will return. The word so far is it only has been slated for 6 episodes! Also, those 6 episodes will not be filmed in HD so we still don’t have an HD source for Top Gear!
For now I’ll keep busy with reruns, but they’d better get to production soon or… I guess I can’t do anything!
BOOO BBC!
Thanks for the recommendation. I’m enjoying the show TREMENDOUSLY. Love Clarkson. This is just the sort of Britishness I love.
I can’t say I even know what you’re talking about
