mod sassinator posted:I would start with maybe last season and go forward. Once they dumped the star in a reasonably priced car and studio parts of the show to just focus on challenges it got good. Yeah. I don't know why they thought it would eventually start working if they just kept making the guys interview people even though it was obvious none of them had the slightest idea how to be entertaining off the cuff, but it was just painful waiting for them to figure it out.

They had an Alaska special at the end of the first season. Watch that. Then watch whatever episode after that where they stop having guests. Continue on from there.

Data Graham posted:If you started TGUS from the beginning, you've got a long slog ahead of you before it gets fun. I don't know, Beater Boot Camp was a poo poo ton of fun. A challenge pitting a Fiero against a Buick Roadmaster? It was tons of fun. The Toughest Truck episode was really good, too. I mean, yeah the later ones are miles better, but if you can't get any enjoyment out of the early ones at all, I think the problem is you rather than the show. It's coarse, but it's still fun. And yeah, fast-forward through the SIARPC for sure.

I particularly liked the Hillux to the North pole episode. Also I am of the opinion that the specials are all pretty much tits.

Everyone knows the best part about Top Gear are the reviews of mid line versions of obscure once British designed cars sold only in the UK and made in Albania or something.

The cheap car challenges before they got all zany will always hold a place in my heart. Particularly because I have fond memories of my broke parents making increasingly irrational car purchases like a Triumph TR7 and a VW beetle on the cheap and seeing the drama unfold.

I doubt anything will ever be as funny as the British Leyland challenge. The cars falling literally to pieces on the cobblestone road James' giggling face all streaming with eggs Doors falling the gently caress off "What happened to you?" "I got covered in egg"

I liked when Top Gear used to do reviews with a bit of weirdness to them as well. The one with Clarkson hiding in the bushes pointing out a 370Z in its natural habitat is one that stuck.

My favorite is probably the Alfa Romeo one, with Hammond manually pumping water into his engine while driving (until the handle of his pump comes off).

yeah unlike Doctor Who they don't do same-day simulcasts for Top Gear yet, it's still at least a week's delay during the normal season, and however the gently caress long for specials

A new James May's Toy Stories aired yesterday in the UK, was characteristically excellent. Check it out if you miss blowing up action figures when you were a kid.

Can we get a ruling from the powers that be on what counts as  or not with regards to this programme?Hypothetical crimes: 1. Downloading an episode via torrent/FTP/other means of transporting files 2. Tricking the BBC's country detector via a proxy network connection 3. Tricking the BBC's country detector via a browser proxy plugin 4. Accepting the wait until the episode available in your country, but whiling away that time with burglary 5. Watching mirror flipped youtube uploads until they get zappped 6. Wait for someone to buy the DVD, kill them, steal the DVD. All are valid options for the morally corrupt, but are any one of them allowed to be mentioned in this forum? Speaking on behalf of my solicitor, who would normally speak on behalf of me but who will not let me engage in account sharing, I should stress that I condone nor admit participation to any of these activities, murder and burglary are terrible crimes.
