I'll say what everyone says to me when I (God forbid) criticize Top Gear.
No one was forcing you to watch Fifth Gear, if you didn't like it you didn't have to watch it. If you did watch it, it was because there was actually something that made you interested enough to watch, especially if you had to download it.
No one ever said it was Top Gear. It tried to be, sure, but no one ever said it was as good. It was more informational and reviewed many, many more cars than Top Gear has the past 4 or 5 series. That is what I, and I'm sure plenty of others, were interested in: car reviews, not stupid trips to third world countries where they make assholes of themselves for the sake of "comedy."
I feel like I'm one of the few here who will genuinely miss Fifth Gear. To those who could never see the value that the show had, I feel sorry for you. To those who appreciated the show and are disappointed that its gone, I'm right there with you.
