InitialDave posted:I really hope Glenister just does it all in character as Gene Hunt. I think looking around for already right now famous people to replace the hosts is completely the wrong way to do it. Clarkson started it because he wanted to start it. May was a totally unknown, nobody had prejudices or preconceptions and he grew with the show. To make replacements work, it has to be someone willing to fill Clarksons shoes that has the background true, but the others can be unknowns that work with that other someone.. "Supergoups" never last long... Fo3 fucked around with this message at 19:45 on May 4, 2015 |

Both were well-known automotive journalists and had been in the previous incarnation of the series (that became Fifth Gear when it left the BBC). Hammond was probably the least known name in the long-term lineup (sorry season one nobody) to the initial 2002 Top Gear audience, but even he had been on the radio for some time. It's not like these were random nobodies off the street.

It lasted like half a season. The new guys acted like they thought the raucous misogyny and boob and beer gags (which were really jokes at the expense of men) were in earnest. It was like "The Frat Bro Show"

That makes me sad because Phillip Glenister is too rad a dude to be taken down by a terrible Top Gear It could never happen but Glenister, May and Hammond might have actually worked.

I'm sure it's possible to save the Top Gear brand and name, but probably not the show that was on the past decade. If they maintain that they're the world's premiere motoring show and will continue to have exclusive supercar adventures and high-budget production, I'm sure a lot of people will give them a chance for another season or two. But I imagine if they try to jump straight back into leaning heavily on crazy challenges and goofy humor it'll probably fall flat on its face as so many other TG clones have done as well.

No, seriously, Doug hates women and nothing he says is actually a joke. He gets really drunk and then says things he really believes and then his stupid audience laughs because inside they all agree. Joe is just a loveable idiot who's easily led around so when he gets paired with garbage like Doug he ends up acting like garbage.
