I actually like the show. Sure, it's not nearly as good at the Euro Top Gear, but if you look back at their first episodes (even first few seasons), they weren't very good either. It took a while for them to get into a groove and build the group dynamic, and it's going to take these guys some time too. While watching it from that perspective (knowing they're growing), it's actually a pretty good show. I think it's much better than the Australian Top Gear. That was painful to watch in my opinion, although I still did because it's a car show. I think, given some time, Top Gear US will get much better. Probably never on par with the Euro one, but that doesn't mean it still can't be good and fun to watch.
