I was pretty frustrated with the whole thing until they had the truck episode in Alaska. That one was TG worthy. I'm hoping if they keep the same group that they'll mesh better over time and the producers will do something besides cheaply playing off stereotypes.

It was like the writers just stole scripts from Top Gear UK and changed the names. | | | |

Don't fire up those DVRs just yet. It will be airing in the UK starting the 26th only way to watch it here then is going to be via torrent. I believe BBC America is still at least a season behind.
Oh and also   | | | |
