My dad always watches it. I find it rather lame and it would appeal to me more if they had games instead of cars and a female presenter. ^.&
Wait, what? You do realise it's a stagnating CAR show, not a show about games. Go watch...

...Wait, other than Gameswipe, what gaming shows are there?
Yes I know, what I'm trying to say is, I'd rather if they just scrapped it or replaced it with another gaming show.

I love it. It's funny (even though I get the feeling that it can be somewhat staged recently) and it's full of wicked cars. What is there no to love?

It's something of a contradiction. I enjoy it, and find it funny, but I think Clarkson is the most piss-annoying, arrogant berk on television. An amusing berk, but a berk nonetheless.

Top Gear is in decline, but it's still fun even if the show used to be better.

i love it, its great

but the show is becoming more gimmicky and now you can obviously see its staged more than a few seasons ago, but it is still very entertaining and i dont mind it that they are putting alot more comedy in as well

I still like Top Gear. But then again, that can be because i live in The Netherlands and i get everything at least 6 months later than you guys.

For those who can see BBC Entertainment, isn't Top Gear one of the best shows there is on international tv channels right now?
Yes, yes it is. I mean, its probably because its only competition is "Dr. Who" (which I hate), but even still its probably one of the best shows around, IMO.

I like it, but like others have said, it's not quite as good anymore (probably just wearing a little thin on new content).

Does anyone else think a Top Gear game would be awesome? It's easy enough to make racing games (car models are simple, physics can be dumbed down, etc) and then add in new challenges. Or make it a sort of Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts open building type of game, where you modify a car with some parts to turn it into a speed boat or hovercraft or whatever. Those building challenges were always my favorite part of Top Gear, so if a game could pull it off that would be awesome.

I love it, but i dont look to it for information and they stage everthing, Its entertainment.

Looking at top gear for a car review is like, looking at WWE for real violence.

The guy with the Jeremy Clarkson avatar might disagree. I bet none of you can look at it and not smile.
Actually even the cast and crew agree that they are becoming caricatures of their own image and things are getting a bit stale. Clarkson himself said that once a show loses it's innocence people will lose interest. Any road, the guys will be back for a season or two but (and this is in the producers own words) "the time is coming to land this plan with the grace we took off from". So it won't be going for very long.

Personally I still love it for what it is; three fat blokes cocking about and never growing up!. As for the others, well..people will always complain about something because they can. And as Yahtzee said, "fans are whiny, annoying, dipshits and nothing you can do will ever please them".

Quite appropoe I think!.
/thread. I hate doing that but he nailed it perfectly. The new Top Gear circa 2002 has been on for 8 years with season 15 confirmed for filming and it is getting a bit old with new things few and far apart. The thing is if everyone take a step back and look at what makes/made special (depending on where you stand on the matter) you'll notice that it's much to do with the presentation and the clearly obvious scripted idiocies of the three presenters. There will always be someone complaining the show, either it's not about cars, it's scripted and fake, Clarkson is a racist idiot, waste of time, etc..etc.. and the 3/4 of these complaints come from Drama Queens i.e - the Morris Marina Owners club and people who complain because it's fashionable to complain. The 1/4 who genuinely dislike it for a legitimate reason (other than it's boring or I just hate it) have a valid point. It's not as entertaining as before is because everyhting is now formulaic.

You know what Hammond is going to do, you know that Jeremy will have a hammer and you know that May will get lost.

It's not funny when it happens for the 7th billion time, but it is still miles better than any other crap out there. They are always pushing the boundaries with something to do and make something boring (like cars) into something interesting (like challenges involving cars)

All you have to do is watch Top Gear and then Fifth Gear to find the difference.

I prefer the specials where they go somewhere for the entire episode, and hilarity always ensues. Not particularly a fan of the normal episodes as they're a bit hit-or-miss on how entertaining they are.

I enjoy watching it. I know a lot of it is staged, but that doesn't reduce its entertainment value.

I've never actually watched a full episode, but Jeremy Clarkson is a right-wing tit-end, and I've never had more interest in cars than as a mode of transport... so I say axe away!

Top Gears a hugely entertaining show. Granted the show might have gone past it's prime now, but it is still hugely entertaining. However, soon they will have to re-invent the show in order to keep it going, which could be a blast, or be utterly disastarous.
