Anyone else watch "SuperCars Exposed" on the Speed Channel? They should've hired that dude instead.

hmmm....
Both TG and FG has their fans ..... because of their own style.
but if they are making a "new" top gear then
I don't get it and it must be some crappy shit

I have downloaded some FG episodes from some torrents, and the are boring and definitely not funny compared to TG...

Only Tiff is worth there...

Biggest problem I have with Tanner is that he doesn't know crap about cars. He had no idea what a Spyker was, or what any of the specs of the CGT are.

Though he would be much better then Adam.

I just re-read your post and realized he's in LOL. I watch his show on the Speed Channel, but I never know his name .
I like the dude though, he's young and knows how to drive (and drift).

I agree with you on Carolla. He should stick to comedy.

NBC Passes on Top Gear USA, Show Going to Cable
by Damon Lavrinc on Dec 11th 2008 at 7:30PM



According to the Colonial arm of Top Gear's website, the U.S. version of everyone's favorite motoring show has been passed up by NBC. The report doesn't go into any detail about why the Peacock people said, "Thanks. But no thanks" to the show, but the BBC is supposedly actively pursuing a cable network to air the series. We're tapping our sources inside Top Gear, NBC and the assorted media to get the full story, so stay tuned.

UPDATE: According to an industry source, NBC didn't "pass" on the program so much as it decided to sit on Top Gear as it hashed out its future. The BBC was able to get the program "back" so it could bring it to another channel. We'll see...
