Well, I watched it on Streetfire.net (live streaming). No more space on my computer for downloads.

It was a blast! Can't wait for next year's episodes.

I started reading thru this thread, but way too long for my short attention span
In short, I have a hard time watching this show. Reminds me of 3 yuppie college dudes trying to do a lousy imitation of the U.K. show. There just isn't any life to the U.S. version. They need a Jeremy Clarkson-type in the mix, and I don't think us Americans are capable of producing his clone. The Brits just have a dark, monty-pythonish humour we can't imitate that makes that show work.
Ok. Now donning my fire suit.

Yeah, it's being unfair to the yuppie college kids who would do a much better job making a good show

I've only seen one of the US episodes yet, but am looking forward to the rest. I think it was a good start.

Almost entire season 1 of the Top Gear Australia was quite bad, but it got better, and season 2 was accually really great fun.

For me this was the lowest point of TG. I've been watching every single episode since day one and I was not impressed with this one.
Very bad taste about everything. For me they've crossed so many boundaries in this episode. No respect to different cultures, customs, way of life.
Very disappointing. The last part with the Stig was just over the top.
Remind me of some of the threads here..... Sometimes you just have to let it go.
Instead of being funny they becoming laughing stock with this constant attempt to slam down on Stig but in reality they are helping him selling even more copies of his book by putting him on the spot light all the time.

They need Jay Leno, Tim Allen or another car crazy comic to make it work..

Com-cast dumped BBC Top Gear UK when the weak US clone started..

I get the real deal off the web..

Its still available in my area, BBC America has it every Monday. It should be noted however that TGUK is now available ALL 15 SEASONS in full on Netflix, streaming HD, they just put them all up a week or two ago. That alone made my Netflix subscription worth it.
