I really haven't seen a thread dedicated to it so I'll start one now unless someone post me wrong.

Anyone catch it so far? First couple of episodes I thought were pretty quality. About to watch the third one of this season. What is it? The third season??

You mean that abomination hosted by Tanner Foust and crew? Worst. Show. Ever. Such a blatant rip off of the original it's ridiculous. Every skit they do is a repeat of something the Brits did 4 seasons ago. It's like watching an SNL skit of the original, only done with worse actors.

Adam is a crock.

I'm pretty confident I've watched every episode of TG:UK and can't recall them filming in episode in Alaska so let's get that out of the way. Granted it can't compare to TG:UK but what car show can? To me it's filler till the next season (and I refuse to call it series because I'm an 'Merican!). So if you haven't watched how it's progressed since the first season you really can't honestly answer. IMO it's gotten pretty good and the first three episodes of this season have been pretty good.

And yes Adam is a crock, I compare him to Captain Slow.

the worst part IMO is how hard they try to be like the UK TG, pushing the exact same jokes that the brits do. i understand that they want to make US TG be as good as UK but i think the reason the UK version is better is that those three guys aren't trying to be the best car show hosts.. they just film good together and it comes out natural. everything looks forced and scripted(US), down to their laughs. i really wish the US version was better but until they figure out the cast i'm not bothering

Its really a hit or miss show, episode to episode. Some have been downright retarded, while others have been pretty damn entertaining.

That show has the potential to be really good, but I can't stand to even watch it.

It is fucking garbage.

I watched one episode a 2weeks ago. Will never do it again.

Malarkey!

Have tried watching 2 episodes. They were downright cringeworthy. I'll say again, they needed to get Tim Allen, Jay Leno, and Christopher Titus as hosts. Then it would be worth watching.

i watch it every now and then if it's on simply because it's a car show but i don't have it record.

I could die a happy man if I ever saw an episode that involved these three.

But they all probably want too much $$$, which is why we have the three clowns running it currently. I don't know who the fat guy is, but he needs to drive off a cliff.

Tim Allen grunting while driving a GT500....that would be gold.

Leno was approached before the series started and declined. He said the sponsors wouldn't allow a truthful review of the cars.
