Not even "so bad it's good/funny". Just bad, and bland, and boring.
Extra gear was slightly better.
I doubt the show will live past this season, even the first episode had less than 5 mil. watching and most of those are out of pure curiosity. By the last episode they'll be lucky to have even 1 mil. watching.

>I doubt the show will live past this season
depends on if the Yanks eat it up, if they do expect it to shamble on like Doctor Who
>>70276702
Americans only ate old Top gear up because of the funny presenters, now for them it's same as American Top gear, except everyone talks weird.
>>70276702
every country has its own car shows already.
Top gear stood out, it doesnt anymore, might as well watch the national ones then.
I doubt this will find any fans on the international market.
>>70276834
Everyone talks weird as well if you're British.
>>70274882
BBC have too much pride and money invested to kill it after 1 season.
It will go to 2 seasons and then possibly get pulled.
Old Top Gear at least had fan loyalty, New TG will struggle with the Euros being on Sunday night so viewing figures will dwindle.
>>70277302
I meant more in the sense that they name pricing in pounds.
There was nothing funny at all this episode, if you're going to take shots at the old show, at least make sure you're actually somewhat funny.

If it gets pulled they should just pour all that money in to Robot Wars.

Boy is he throwing a fit. For a guy who always appears all giddy and happy these tweets just ooze passive aggression. Must be a massive failure of an episode.
>>70276601
fifth gear was worth watching for that totty with the double barrelled name
>>70278648
Imagine when the viewers start losing interest.
Black man, girl, washed up white loser, ginger, paki and a jew.
So diverse!
I thought Leblanc was alright. His bit in the off roader was funny.
>>70278899
He was alright, but everything he said in Nomad review was so obviously written by a brit, he was just delivering the script. And in the entire Reliant segment he genuinely looked like he didn't give a shit.
Well these guys already failed hard. Now old team would have to fuck up really hard to lose to them. Although they may be on the right track with a name so catastrophically boring.
>>70279015
I think they may have legitimately been messing with him in that segment. He was probably all hyped to drive nice cars and the first thing they make him do is drive that. I think he was genuinely pissed off.
They could have easily replaced Clarkson, but the BBC are too conservative to make a bold, original choice so play it safe with Chris Evans.
>>70278899
He may grow into the show over time, I could see him developing well. However, Evans I think is the totally wrong choice.
>>70278258
hahaha, he's so insecure. people with good shows don't spend hours tweeting how many viewers they got. ginger limey faggot.
>>70278887
I didn't know stig was a jew
>>70278258
Holy shit that is absolutely pathetic.
Wonder will Chris Evans still be tweeting those facts over the next few weeks
>Euros are starting soon
>Most people in agreement TG was shit and only watched out of curiosity
guys what if Grand Tour also sucks?
>>70284040
cant wait for the euros desu
seems like its going to the French
>>70284216
Unlikely.
They took all the best writers, producers, cameramen, and editors with them.
Times their budget by ten.
Remove BBC shackles.
Give them complete control of content (part of the contract).
I can't see it going wrong.
>>70286330
I feel the same way. I can't fucking wait for it.
>>70283579
Some say he is
>>70286416
Others say he's fiscally responsible.

is extra gear online? im just watching for sabine
>>70286808
The sad thing is, with a lead like Evans, it's unlikely they were picked for their quality - they were most likely picked to meet diversity quotas.
Honestly, why they try to piecemeal together a cast is beyond me - they needed to hire and existing group of friends to hit the ground running.
Top Gear UK only became what it did, in part at least, because the presenters became genuine friends.
>>70286859
It's on iplayer/bbc america web site
>>70274882
>casting Joey as an anchor
>not casting Ross and Chandler as his only two co-hosts
the team needs chemistry. doubling the cast obviously fucks this up. clarkson knew this.
>>70274882
Yeah we get it. You sucked the original hosts cock to the point where nothing would have pleased you.
>>70274882

Then make the set a replica of Central Perk. The Stig isbehind the counter
