It tends to go, 10 in the Spring, and 11 in the Autumn runs. So you get a total yearly run of 21x60. Which really isn't bad images/smilies/smile.gif

Also since american TV has an overabundance of commercials, its more like 15x20, compared to 21x60. I would love to have better choices for television here, I especially like Discovery Channel HD since its a "premium" service, they don't have commercials, which makes watching shows on the Discovery Channel much more entertaining. I wonder if they will have TopGear America on Discovery HD, since it is shot in widescreen (Not sure if its going to be at HD quality though images/smilies/sad.gif), and Discovery HD typically only shows programs recorded in widescreen.

andyhui01:
Joey has more than 15episodes images/smilies/smile.gif there are already 19 released, others are comming soon, but i think that there probably be 24Joey episodes, just like there had been Friends... images/smilies/smile.gif

But actually i couldn't compare TG with Joey anyhow, as they are a lot different (i mean they are entertaining differently)...
but awcorse joey is nice to see one or two times... Top Gear is good seeing hundreds and hundreds of times each episode images/smilies/biggrin.gif


hokiethang:
you shouldn't complain about USA television, believe me - there are commercials everywhere and compared USA tv with most of other countries televisions would be silly - you would be shocked if you would only see Lithuanian,Russian,Polish or other countries. images/smilies/eek.gif
when i see what shows i.e. NBC shows i just get jealous... i was especially jealous when Friends were on the air - i could only see that episode which you have seen only after a day... sometimes longer... depending on my internet speed that day and sources images/smilies/biggrin.gif

More episodes = more gooder!

I belive a regular American season is 26 epsiodes per year. Although I don't think many shows still have that many.

They seem to like doing races accross europe in a car vs public transport.

Seeing that TG loves Aston Martin so much, maybe the new V8 Vantage will be in?

Even if its not in the accross europe race, it'll definitely be reviewed this season.

Maybe new M5 vs public transport? images/smilies/smile.gif
