In case you didn't know, there is an American version of the show on the history channel. But it kinda sucks. The BBC "Americanized" it and made it too much about pickup trucks and American stereotypes. And there's few European supercars. Plus the American presenters are weenies.
PS - I guess the people who think British humor wouldn't fly over here are unfamiliar with the legendary status Monty Python has in the US. Or the popularity of shows like Benny Hill and the UK Top Gear.
I missed replying about your last part. While I agree, all of that is older classical stuff. Python and Hill, funniest stuff there is. It's more shall I say acceptable in that regard. Top Gear UK is huge here, but that's a small segment. What I would like to see is if those of us who support them, (if they replaced the clowns at TG USA) would be enough to drown out the fun sponges that have voices due to Twitter, facebook etc.
Wait it couldn't be TG because BBC owns the rights. Hmmm. What's a good new name?
