Top Gear US

Personally, I dont find any of the hosts personable or notable. I admit part of the Brit version's appeal is it's fresh in that even the language and descriptions are new to us "Continentals". But they have a much better and intelligent way about them, even when doing stupid stuff that makes even the worst UK version way more appealing to me. This was an attempt at making a UK show interesting to the US viewer. They would have done better to start fresh and just take the concept, because this show just sucks. Find some hosts with genuine personality, greater intelligence, and sharper wit, and be creative. I'll watch the UK TG every chance I get, including reruns. I've seen two of the US ones and parts of others. It's just painful.

I think a good portion of the problem is in the US sensitivities. Us colonials are so PC and worried about offending anyone (and being sued for it). The Brit show really could care less. It's strange that THEY have the freedom to say what they want.
