New Top Gear – The Review

do agree, its cr@p, not even gonna bother watching it, as it seems like its gonna fall apart....

everybody panned it,

so its a case of the golden goose has turned into a pigeon that they tried to spaypaint gold...
 
Interesting read. I should really make an effort to watch the show. Are there ... ahum... legal ways of watching?
A stage partnership will take time to develop. It took to three piggies many years.
Frankly, I got fed up with Clarkson's bombastic arrogance. His ego was becoming even larger than his second chin.

+1, shows look good.
Only people complaining is the die hard Clarkson fanboys.

I wouldn't mind it, if Chris Evans wasn't in it. He was annoying before, and even moreso now. So no, not just Clarkson fanboys...
 
They are trying too hard to be Clarkson, May and Hammond.

Should have just done their own thing.

Nah. I'm hardly a Top Gear fanboy and I think this says it all:

But the relationship between Evans and LeBlanc seems forced, stilted and, well, unnatural.

Evans was good, but seemed to be trying too hard. The "funny" moments seem to scripted.
 
The moment they fired Jeremy was fired the show died. Everyone that disliked him but strangely always watched the show said it would be better without him

Now the consensus is it is crap.


hmmmmmm
 
Watch Top Gear's viewership plummet once Clarkson, Hammond and May air the first episode of their new show.
 
I watched the show. Enjoyed Le Blanc, but Evans is a twat. That stupid little hop he gives whilst wearing those desperate "make me look young" boots....jirre.

I've also been watching the latest Top Gear US and it is really good...IMO.
 
Yea Im sorry but the presenters are not entertaining at all they might be better in a traditional car show but Top Gear needs someone else.
 
OK, so I watched about 15 min of the show last night. I agree that they try too hard to be exactly the same as previous versions. I suspect the producers considered it very carefully. My feeling is that they should have used the opportunity to innovate, but they probably decided to do it over time.
What bothered me most was poor narrative and script. The story line from the staff off the Indian restaurant sitting on top of the car to the wing on the Viper was interrupted with another story (I forget what) and did not flow naturally. Then they just jumped into the trip with three wheeled Reliants. No introduction or background.
Despite the criticism, I will give them a chance. I only wish they had kept May. Someone who actually understands something about cars...
 
no I don't like it, squinted my face through just about the whole show, leblanc was funny at times, but also got too much. eventually it was just..., uuuugh effort.

that evans guy... why him? just his picture irritates me. I don't understand why, I don't know the guy but he just annoys me. It feels like I need to smack him and shout, come right man! bicycle face or something.

I remember watching an old show with a very young Jeremy Clarkson while in the UK, it was called The Jeremy Clarkson Show, and unfortunately for BBC, top gear IS the Jeremy Clarkson show.

top gear was more fun watching the 3 idiots get up to mad stuff than the cars, the cars where just a ooh or wow factor between the rubbish they did, think about it, always some rubbish car in some weird place with them causing chaos, then now and then some awesome car. their comments and wit is what made the show, now theres some guy with a irritating look or manner about him screaming and laughing at seemingly nothing, not one funny comment during the star in a car section or about the stig or anything, just a WTF expression on my face.

perfect sum up of it, everybody hates Chris E , trying too hard, and facing mounting dismissal for not making it funny....
 
Can't wait for the old trio's new show. I bet they gonna make a mockery of the new guys.
Regarding Evans, ****.
LeBlanc was okay for the 1st show, give him time.
