I can barely control my excitement!

Top Gear will be interview/explored/whatever by 60 minutes this evening at 6pm, or whenever the NFL game ends.

Heaven forfend they take "The Office" route and come to America beyond what they've already attempted. That show is so much better off staying in the UK. Love it.

it's gong to be strong as ever in the UK mainly because no channels will show it besides BBCA...and they run it a season delayed.

Word is one of their trips/challenges in the upcoming season will feature NYC...those are always some of the highlights of the series.

hopefully the American version won't fizzle like the Aussie one did.

the funniest part is that NBC wasted $5 million to develop and shoot a pilot and then pulled it before it got to air because the conan/leno nonsense was unfolding at the same time.

i just saw the 1st ad for Top Gear USA - it is airing Nov. 21st on the Hitler Channel

i was underwhelmed, i have to admit...i hope the promo's get better and the show is flashier.

I vote for "Pride and Joy", "Rude Mood", or "The House Is A Rockin'" by Stevie Ray for the opening theme song.
