Am I the only one who just watches for the Stig's lap times?

This fall's Amazon show can't come fast enough..
Episode 2 I watched Jenson Button's part. Episode 3 watched Chris Harris's part. Fast forwarded through the remainder of the show and deleted them from dvr. The ratings are tanking, because the show is mediocre at best.

Ken's driving was spectacular as always and LeBlanc had me cracking up.
Interesting that Matt got a lot of screen time in Ep3. Harris and Rory were there as well. Worked nicely. Matt is a much better lead presenter than Evans.

Did the BBC force Evans to stop screaming so much? He seemed toned down, but couldn't quite help himself a few times. His review segment almost felt like it had been edited and new voice over applied. Lots of shouting in the live action portion, but the narration was totally keyed down.

Maybe they're listening.

Listen up BBC! Fire Evans.

not a fan of Evans at all. not sure why he got pulled in, the probably wanted someone with a bubbly personality.

I was excited to see Matt LeBlanc on the show, but he's such dead weight!! you compare him to his charisma and character from Friends and you see him now, its so....lifeless.

Sabine is meh, too much of a "im a powerful woman". I dont know the black guys name, but he's not good. the old guy is annoying. Chris Harris is the only good one on the show.

Was disappointed along with many others, give me that obnoxious Brit, his two little buddies from the past, and pay the guy he punched a bunch of Quid to get over it.............:-)

Were you asleep during the Vulcan segment?

I swear they could air some of the best segments on TV and some people will still blindly hate it. The rest of the episode was a bit bland but I really did like the Vulcan segment.

Shit I'll say it, episode 3 was one of the best TG episodes I've seen in a long time. Chris Harris and that guy who drove the Focus RS gave really great and interesting to watch reviews. And the interview segment was actually very funny.

I really dislike both Chris Evans and Eddie Jordan. They are both too squeaky for me. Eddie is just damn boring and Chris is yelling everything in his high pitched voice. It's just damn annoying.

I can't understand why they exist on that show. They are not really gelling at all yet, and they are four episodes in.

DVR'd the shows and finally had time to watch last night. I knew it would probably be bad...... It was a lot worse than I expected..... Granted, Jeremy Clarkson was wrong to punch the guy but the ivory tower at the BBC had no idea what they had. I heard Antiques Roadshow beat them out on the most recent episode...... Needless to say, I have more room on my DVR!

Just in case anyone didn't know... this week's episode has the M2 review!
And mercifully they gave it to Harris to review.

Gotta be worth setting the DVR for and just f/forwarding through the rest?

Has anyone been watching Extra Gear? Chris Harris has some good segments. He is clearly the savior of the new Top Gear.

As good as Harris is, I doubt he can pull off that stunt. It will be at best a really good car review show like it was before the 2002 iteration with Tiff and gang.
The BBC needs to suck it up and hire the old crew back (if they want back in).

Yep!

And also... If you (figuratively speaking) find these guys annoying how in the hell could you NOT find Clarkson and company annoying??? They were far worse and just corny.

Oh well. I'll be tuning in!
