Darkmeat Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Top Gear was about the people, not the cars. When the people changed, it wasn't Top Gear any more. They should have changed the name instead of leaving it tied like a dead albatross round the necks of the of the new presenters. It's now a curse. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/465115-who-watched-the-new-top-gear-what-was-your-opinion/page/2/#findComment-7749326 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordyR31 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Top Gear is supposed to be a car show. Early Top Gear had genuine reviews on cars and was totally different to what it became, the presenters ego's made the show about themselves and less and less about cars. Hopefully it goes back to being a car show and Jeremy, Richard and James can do their own thing doing what they did which was entertaining none the less for the most part.

niZmO_Man Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 At least Chris Harris is getting more budget for his videos. Pretty much every aspect of the main show is sub par/boring/wasted potential, even down to Matt LeBlanc IMO. He seems to be reading some boring script. At least he's getting paid. Oh well.

PranK Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 So, Chris Evans will not be returning for Season 2. I don't think many of the viewers will, either. Top Gear USA starts again on Monday - That's better than the original Top Gear, seriously funny.

lanky71 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Top Gear USA has been dropped by the History channel in the USA, and apparently BBC is shopping it around for a new network so fingers crossed it get picked up by someone else.

niZmO_Man Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Hopefully Top Gear UK improves from next season. Less advertising the cars and more driving and commenting on the good and bad bits. Still don't understand why Chris Harris was presented as a retard but things should change next year (if it gets another season).

sneakey pete Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Skimmed ep1, watched ep3 and part of ep4, thought chris harris was ok, everyone but chris evans and matt leblanc really. Segments themselves were good (though mainly saw car review type ones on those episodes, not the road trip etc) but i can see how a roadtrip segment with the before mentioned two would make for poor viewing. Biggest issue i saw was the in studio bits, you'd have a car segment then Matt talking to whoever the presenter was asking stupid questions which didn't really relate to the cars at all Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/465115-who-watched-the-new-top-gear-what-was-your-opinion/page/2/#findComment-7755661 Share on other sites More sharing options...
