Top Gear — Top Gear: Flying Coupe DeVille — History.com Videos

Full episode posted online.

--

So it seems to take Top Gear US 3 episodes to cover the amount of content in one episode of Top Gear UK...

I don't think it's THAT bad... The actors are going to need some time to get into the swing of things. They're getting better every episode so far I think.

Yep - I liked the last episode the most so far. I even thought the "moonshine" derby was entertaining (especially the Caddy going over the off-road course)!

there's no chemistry yet. they're forcing jokes. when the audience deadpans a 'joke' they just go 'oh ****...uh...NEXT LINE!!!!!'

tanner is horrible. stick to the driving, buddy.

i honestly don't think the shows' going to be around long enough for them to build the kind of chemistry the original TGUK has.

and adam can't interview guests for sh*t. he doesn't even offer color commentary for the lap! i can't believe i actually miss clarkson's 'star in a reasonably priced car' segment compared to that crap.

yeah so far all 3 episodes feel like the pilot that you would show to a company to say "hey see this, it has potential".. thats bad. Theres no commentary on the cars either its just all banter. TPUK actually gives commentary on the cars and how they are.

Well, the show opened to 1.9 m viewers, which is "average/decent" for a big cable show. I wonder what the ratings for the last two episodes were. I have a feeling it's gonna get canned.
