Evans face looks like sliced ham.
Sadly that's not going to happen. I've worked with self centered douchebags just like Evans and people like him NEVER think they screwed up, the ego simply won't allow it. For him it probably won't matter if he causes the show to flop, it will never be his fault, it's always someone else's.Honestly, CE's initial reactions to bad news, on Twitter, aren't really going to help TG regain its popularity. He's going to have to eat a bit (okay, a whole ton) of humble pie ("Yes, I screwed up. Sorry, sorry") to get back in the viewing audience's good graces.
You was never bored by all the repeated, scripted, childish, badly acted yokes of CHM?I find myself disagreeing with most of the views here, what an utter, coma inducing borefest, about round the SIARPC I just zoned out, checking my phone and skipping through a magazine, this has never happende before that I can remember, this was even worst than last week.
So when they do try to be different from old Top Gear that's no good. And when they do copy the format, that's no good either?The SUV film was okay-ish. But why did they need co-drivers in the first place? No idea. [/I]
Sack Evans, put Harris in his stead, and this is going to be a good show, not bargain-bin CHM.

I was.

This Top Gear is a lot more social than the previous one. More guests and more helping each other. And with that, it acknowledges they won't simply get the same chemistry of CHM by only replacing the presenters.

Y'know... all this talk of "It's just the second episode", "give them time", "2002 TG was bad at their beginning too" made me watch the old [01x02] again. And you know what? I actually liked it more.
Ah yes, I personally like those old episodes a lot. Really down to earth and fun. Still a mix of classic Top Gear and a new found freedom in car journalism. But those episodes were mostly fun for car lovers and not the general public.Y'know... all this talk of "It's just the second episode", "give them time", "2002 TG was bad at their beginning too" made me watch the old [01x02] again.

Some things are similar to what we have been watching: You have one main presenter taking up 90% of screen time (Clarkson), a sidekick with a few good lines but you can see he can shine on his own given a chance (Hammond), and a 3rd guy who is "kinda there" but also not (Dawe). And no I'm not wearing nostalgia glasses, I actually found those people more likable. I'm the kind of person who prefers a boring place with nice people over an awesome party filled with annoying douchebags. (I'm not the kind who blindly believes new is always better. Noises and flashy lights don't attract me)
This recent upload in JM's Unemployment Tube channel was 10x funnier than both episodes.
This is significantly better than new Top Gear.
