I love the BBC-Top Gear!

Oh, come on the both of you. I was waxing poetic.

Men go through stages in life.

Sports
Women
Cars
Houses
Power Tools and
Charcoal/propane grills...

These days, the woman that tells you how to drive is hidden in the dashboard.

The Africa espisode was too funny.

I had to walk out of the room. I almost didn't make the loo.

-------------

The Veyron racing against the Typhoon jet was way too much...

I noticed that the 'director's cut' on the On Demand channels of my cable has a few more minutes of program than the BBC broadcast on Monday night!

----------

Richard Hammond was doing a pitch for a show on the Nat'l. Geo channel....He is my hero!

[RICHARD]

Some American network has taken the TG concept and will bring it to the airwaves with Adam Carolla as host.

Another disaster milked from a perfectly good English TV show.

---------

I can handle Carolla in three minute bits and maybe once a month.
I am destroyed.

Aww! Never mind, presumably you will still be able to get the original Top Gear? Online maybe?

Why do networks do that though? I don't think transplanted shows ever work. I wonder if one has ever been popular?

They can have my BBC when they pry it from my cold dead hands!

American network TV sucks so badly it is not funny.

Brit shows are the best because you have to pay attention!

The accent, the terms and the references to people or events that make you
look for the joke!

BTW, can you drown Joan Rivers in the Thames next time she is in town?

I started to watch the Graham Norton show- That dude is a riot. We could never get anyone like him on the airwaves because of the sponsors and the censors....

Brit TV is written well and funny - you have to be cerebral to get it...The exception was the guy that did the 'silent slapstick humor"- I forget his name........ugh.....I am getting old!


BENNY HILL!!!!!

Maybe I am not as old as I thought.

---------

Anyway, they'll take the ideas of the original TG and make them not funny....
I guess it will last a few shows before the purists revolt!

And I will be there carrying the flag!

[Killearn Kitties]

I look forward to you being revolting!

I HATED Benny Hill - I was very young when he was on certainly and my parents didn't watch him, so I have probably only seen him a couple of times, but it was more than enough.

I suspect Joan Rivers could be hard to hold down.

[RICHARD]

I suspect Joan Rivers could be hard to hold down.

Rivers?

Grab her by the hair, If you grab a body part it may fall off, God knows what is stapled or sewn on!

I love Top Gear.

I find mysellf laughing like an idiot when I watch the show.

Tonight, the trio tried to get cars packed with camping gear....

Jeremy Clarkson was putting stuff into a Volvo station wagon and he closed the tailgate on something that blew the back window out.

I laughed because I saw the same thing in a gas station parking lot around Christmas.......

I was at a stop sign and was watching a man secure his Christmas tree in the rear of a Jeep Wagoneer.

He was adjusting the tree in the cargo compartment, took a step back and pulled the rear window down on the tree trunk that was sticking out just enough to make the rear window explode onto the gentleman and the area next to the gas pumps.

I almost rolled down the window to taunt the poor fellow, but, I felt bad for the guy and prayed that someone would buy him a new rear window for his wheels in keeping with the spirit of the season,....


p.s., I also wondered that line of B.S. he would tell his family....

"The guy at the tree lot broke it, but I told him not to worry, Our insurance would cover it!"

I cant watch Top Gear, no TV. Will Top Gear be covering King of the Hammers next week?

If dessert and rock racing intrests you I can PM you the link when the live coverage starts.
