NBC passes on U.S. Top Gear for now - Autoblog

At least BBC Top Gear will be back next month.

No shit. So many BBC shows don't translate well here. Look at Coupling - that show was hot / awesome on the BBC, but with American actors and writers was horrible. It's like Roger Ebert says about remaking movies - DON'T REMAKE GREAT MOVIES! They're already great, remake the bad ones.

Well considering that Coupling was dubbed "The UKs answer to Friends!", it's kinda weird that you guys took it and made your own version of it!

American Office is fucking awful, btw.

The most entertaining thing about top gear bbc is that they constantly rag on us yanks.

Mr. Ali · 06-05-2008, 11:39 PM

Alright so now I am hearing that they will have a US Top Gear...

Xzibit?

Hahahahhaha. I mean, he is a pretty funny guy, I love his commentary on Pimp My Ride, but I just don't think he knows enough about cars to be on a real car show.

Top Gear will flop without clarkson, hammond, and may
