Default TOP Gear Syndrome

Last nigh i was watching top gear and i suddenly realisded why am i laughing? If it was any other TV Programme or presenter i would o swore at the TV and said hes jojes were rubbish.

However, as its top gear, i find myself laughting at everything, even Mr Slow

Does anyone else suffer from this? As i am an intelligent man i can take a step back and realise what top gear is doing to us

I say dont listen to the prooganda, be your own man or women and dont be influenced by otheres!

That show is impossible to resist, it has the pulling power of a car with lots of torques.

I think the program is classed as "Entertainment" so if everyone is as stated pissing thereselves with laughter surely they're doing something right & as they've stated in the show a few times now it's "3 blokes cocking about in cars" !!!!

Admittedly they have stepped away from reviewing as many cars as they have done in past series but how many new cars are out recently where you want to sit there & think wow I can't wait to find out about this one !!!!
When they done the show with the boats made out of cars i.e the toyboata etc I don't recall people saying after that series it's getting shit etc isn't that just the same as some of the things they've done on this series

I feel disapponted the series seems to have finished so quickly & looking forward to the next series already, if they review more new cars on the market fantastic, if they don't I'm sure it'll be just as funny & either way I'm sure you'll still get 30 odd posts on here on a Sunday night saying "Top Gear on at 8", "Don't forget 8 o'clock" etc etc or am I just being cynical

Just my opinion of course

but they haven't pushed the envelope this time rund
only the budget

how much did it cost to put a car into space?
how much did it cost to convert them limos?
how much did they pay for thet field and them tractors?
it all adds up and i'd rather them cock about and do stuff than sit there on a plane going to america and then having to record it on a phone of all things because thir camera equipment was being rednecked

good ideas are great, but it's good cheap ideas that don't cost a premiership clubs yearly wage bill that are theones you remember

it's not like they show it in the middle of the superbowl every year is it

ok, here's a errmm.. .theory

Because of Hamsters accident, they are not showing at the usual time of year, and there's not that many new cars being released at the moment?

Maybe more proper car stuff later in the year.

Still a fukin funny program tho. Far better than the tryhards on 5th gear.

does that mean that hamsters crash delayed the launch of loads of new cars? and thats why they haven't had any to test?
perhaps they'll be unveiling all the hamster related cars at genevan then
