Hello people, Im a new member here, from the good ol' usa, and I have been a big fan of Top Gear for a while now, Ive always been lurking these forums as a guest reading what people said about the episodes and I figured its about time for me to chime in.
Ill start out with some background info about me first though, Im 15, and live in NJ, and am forced to download top gear like all us Americans
I have seen just about every Top gear episode, all 8 seasons, and most of Clarkson's other shows (Speed, meet the neighbors, inventions that changed the world) I have to say Im not a car fanatic, I dont really know much about them other than what Top Gear has taught me but i still love the show
Now then, onto expressing my generally worthless opinions......upon browsing these forums for nearly a year, I have to say, all these arguments you people always talk about, I just cant see how you get so mad. You keep saying how the show is so scripted, I may just be horribly ignorant, but if they are scripting the show, its truly great acting (compared to the first few seasons of top gear, which i watched recently, and those i could tell were horribly scripted.....strange how most of you want to go back to those so called old episodes, which to me, generally were just boring because they were filled with car reviews, but hey, maybe thats becuase im young, or dont care about reviews of cars ill probably never get to own because of how damn expensive they are). Also, I keep hearing about how the show is getting too "cocky", well in my opinion, I see it not too different than older seasons, and I think the last season was the best out of all (again maybe because im young or something else)
And after reading some of your reviews, it angers me even, how you criticize the show so much, saying how boring every little part is, and how scripted it is, and how wrong it is, and so on and so forth. But honestly, its just a TV show, its meant to entertain you, please, for the love of god
why cant people just sit down and enjoy a damned good show, the best Ive ever seen, instead of saying how "shitty" it is as one person said
Thats all i gotta say, make fun of me all you want, or tell me how bad the show is or how wrong i am, but Ill still enjoy it because its still a show with three "blokes" (I gotta get adjusted to this British lingo) talking about cars and whatnot
