About this show

The history of the automobile and the history of America are intimately intertwined; to celebrate one is to celebrate the other. Featuring super-cars, extreme stunts and challenges, car reviews and celebrity interviews, the U.S. version of the wildly popular BBC series Top Gear promises high-adrenaline action entertainment as it tracks the colorful history of the automobile. Top Gear on History is a perfect fit for anyone with a love of cars, showcasing an offbeat celebration of automobiles and driving as well as the eccentric adventures of its hosts -- comedian Adam Ferrara, stunt driver and champion rally and drift racer Tanner Foust, and car-obsessed racing analyst Rutledge Wood -- with the UK version's customary wit and humor.

It just doesn't seem to have the chemistry that Clarkson Hammond and May just come with. You can tell off the bat with the American trio that every syllable is scripted, the British guys just make it all feel like a naturally occurring conversation. I still got one or two little chuckles but not enough for it to be worth my time. Just go watch some Jeremy Clarkson and save yourself the time and money.

Very entertaining and a good laugh! Same feel as the original Top Gear, but different enough so they are not stepping on anyones toes. Great addition to Top Gear.

better than the original uk version , please bring this version back , jeremy clarkson is a total idiot , he was up front of one of the most popular car shows in the world , and then he ( silly boy ) has that major argument / altercation with one of the producers of the show , so i feel he got exactly what he deserved , which just goes to proove , richard hammond and james may have done quite a lot better by themselves , mainly because both of them , i think , behaved very well , better than jc.
