ok, first and foremost, i know im going to get a lot of abuse, possibly some negative rep and maybe a bad name. but that's all part of it. i want a discussion going from this.
In my opinion, it'd probably be wise, smart, or whatever word you want to use, that top gear makes season 12 its last
Dont get me wrong, i love the show. ive grown up watching classic top gear with tiff saying that everything's "the best...in the world", and clarkson shouting with an afro and aviators. I see the show as a role model in some ways, as its given me strong aspirations of what i want to become later on in life. As sad as it is to say, if or when top gear does announce that it will be their last season, i know that i would cry.
but these days, top gear just doesn't seem to be top gear anymore. its still a great show and i love watching it, but its in the back of my mind now that im watching it as a comedy show, and not as a reputable car program.
i'm fearful that if they go on for a few more seasons, that's all they'll become. A run of the mill comedy. And, as is the way with a lot of comedies, they have their time in the spotlight and then they go too far.
The great shows though, such as Seinfeld and Friends, even against fans and critics opinions, stand up at the prime of their careers and say 'thanks, it was great, but we think its now enough'
We're already seeing signs of the show becoming a comedy. In todays episode for instance, they had a dog in a lambo, james may shitting himself because his lorry broke and a piano held up by porn mags. and admittedly, i laughed like hell.
But in my opinion, this season should be their last. Any more and my respect for clarkson, hammond, may, and perhaps even willman, would probably go down.
If however, at the end of this season they do say top gear no more, i know they'd be going out on a strong note, we'd all remember the run for many years to come, and although we'd be sad, we'd still smile when we look back on it
please, be fair on me because i know i'm on a very unstable topic, but discuss. Should it be their last. and i encourage every opinion because this is finalgear, and that's what we're all about
