The Car Show
Anybody else watching this? I'm really enjoying a fresh take on the standard motoring program.

Top Gear UK > Top Gear USA > Car Show
Adam Carolla isn't funny without big-titted women around him, and the ESPN style ticker tape everywhere is very annoying, IMO. I had high hopes it would be better than TG USA.

Didn't know there WAS a TG USA, but I enjoy TG UK.
Unfortunately, Car Show falls flat IMHO.

I think TCS hit the ground running compared to TGUS. I enjoy them both, for different reasons.

(Motorweek is a 0.5hr PBS show about road testing cars, but its about as exciting as a national geographic magazine without the topless women) Not that national geographic is always boring....

The Car Show is MUCH better than the lame attempt of a motoring program called Top Gear USA...Its no TGUK but I do find it entertaining and a definite breath of fresh air. Its aired on Speed Channel, not sure on the times. I'd classify it as a completely different category than Motorweek, apples and oranges. Motorweek prioritizes consumer advice whereas TCS is very clearly entertainment.

Corolla sucks but otherwise I think I liked it. At least the one episode (Supercar Showdown) I DVR'd.
