So as to avoid making 3 new threads for Top Gear topics every week, we confine all Top Gear discussion here! As I said before I felt like being lazy sooo... just go ahead and discuss... that's the best I can do right now

As much as the small car bit was a lot of fun, did anyone else miss that there was no major production part of the episode? First episode had the lightweight supercars + driving road thing, second had the car boats again, but the third episode.. nothing too wild.

Well you do know about all the drama and why the show almost didn't come back, right? With that in mind this was to be expected. However, it is much better then what I had worried it would have been. So I'll accept this extra mainstreamness for now, as long as the show still MOSTLY feels like Top Gear.

 

[shadywade]

what happened ?

 

[DaemonSadi]

They were the top watched show on BBC... So BBC demanded that they do more silly stuff to appeal to the masses. The guys didn't like that idea because it's supposed to be a car show. But they worked out a kind of middle ground and that's why this season isn't quite the same as before.

 

[shadywade]

F'in mainstream bloodsuckers

 

[DaemonSadi]

Pretty much... super lame, but better then losing the show.

 

[Kooldino]

I've actually been toying with the idea of making a "Top Gear" dedicated forum or subforum. What do ya'll think?

 

[shadywade]

what time does the show come on cause im sick of watching the shity stream vids

 

[Kansei]

I think this thread would suffice.. there's only an episode every week for like a 12 episode season

I'm not sure when it will start airing on BBC America, as Time Warner Cable is a bunch of sloths and we don't get BBC America in Rochester --I did when I was on campus at RIT, which is also time warner cable, so it's a little ridiculous.

As for downloading the episodes, the show airs Sunday evening in the UK and by Sunday evening east coast time (around 9pm-ish) the episodes are usually online on various sites that I can't mention publicly.

 

[SATimko]

Mondays at 8pm EST. 4 episodes per night. Two back to back, then an hour break, then another two (usually the same two).

 

[Kansei]

On BBC America? Showing random episodes or a specific season?

Damn, I could really finish my top gear collection if I could just set my mythtv server to record them all. I despise you time warner cable

 

[shadywade]

cool i found it it comes on at 8pm on mondays

 

[DaemonSadi]

Check out finalgear.com for info and such about when to see some episodes *wink*

And making a whole section for Top Gear would be great, like an extension of my idea, so I'm all for it! lol
