I love watching Top Gear. as a former TV producer, I marvel at how simple it is. Yet, every episode is now years old, and I have seen every one multiple times.
If an American network tried to recreate this great show, would it work? Would you watch? And who are good candidates to host? |

Not bad. But I still think they missed the mark with the hosts. Not trying to be "ageist" but I would like to see someone who looks like they have had a drivers license for more than 5 years.
One of the many things I like about the original version, the hosts have some perspective |

One of the many things I like about the original version, the hosts have some perspective Yeah, I am just a little older than those guys, but I totally agree that they need older guys to host. Not better looking guys, just older and with more character... |
