When Top Gear with Adam, Rutt and Tanner stopped being like the British show and took on it's own personality it was one of my favorite shows, the chemistry and the antics made the show a must see, the show will never be the same without Mother Trucker, the Bearded Lady and Tiny Dancer.
Same. I gave it a chance and ended up loving it.
Low standards.
Loved their nonsense!! LEGENDARY in my book !
agree 😍, still much better than uk topgear AFTER they fired the original trio...
Honestly U.S. top gear probably wouldn’t of been a failure if they just dropped the top gear name and made there own show, the show was actually hilarious and the hosts had so much chemistry together
I thought the TGUSA was at its best when they were doing USA things. When they simply copied things done by TGUK the disparity was obvious.
Also, US fans likely didn’t see early TGUK episodes when Jeremy, James and Richard were new one to another and hadn’t developed their chemistry.
Tony Bright TGUSA despite what people say was a very different show, especially when they started only doing specials, imo that’s when it was at its best
Tony Bright also I know Jeremy james and Richard have chemistry, in fact I love the grand tour and UK top gear, but I’d give the U.S. one a shot it was better then I thought it would be
@@colin2809 TGUS had some great moments and it was entertaining in a more American way than the UK top gear. But still, Clarkson, May, Hammond trio was the best there ever will be.
Only problem with that is they’d end up getting sued for stealing ideas from top gear if it was a separate show
When you get to the end of the video and realised you’ve been click baited...
thanks for the heads up, I'm leaving now.
The original uk trio can’t be replicated
Facts
Facts but Adam, tanner, and Rutledge did a great job for the U.S version in my eyes.
@I Lynch who? lol
@I Lynch I’m with hobo on this one. Who? Lol
You mean the current grand tour trio. The original top gear host are not james, richard and Jeremy.
pretty clickbait-y title for a video that you could've called The History of Top Gear USA
Very clickbaity grrr
Thanks for saving me 10 minutes
It's an advertisement for the new run.
Yea I hate when they get me. But hey I won’t support their channel or any of their videos from here on out.
He clearly liked the show. I dont and wont.
Oh it's one of these clickbaity channels
I thought it was pretty good. Did you watch the whole thing?
@@alexs3187 yes look at the titles and the way he phrases the videos
Yeah i swear this same guy does voice overs for like 400 identical channels
How?
@@-spudman2.054 look at how the thumbnail is and how the video is set up
Did anyone else wanna see top gear usa hosts go against the top gear bbc hosts? That woulda been epic
Bbc is far superior. Bbc/Europe has all the best cars companies. Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Jaguar, Porsche plus the exotics....America has the big 3.....Boring. BBC has a bunch of automotive rivals. We got Mustang, Camaro, Challenger, ok thats 1 episode.
@@courtofpublicopinion8189 not sure what this has to do with the hosts
There was one episode where james did dirt racing and tanner foust was invited to race against and actually won against james and the rest of the field
UK guys can't be beat
I think in a way...they did. Clarkson/May/Hammond still have a gig on Amazon. Top Gear is not cancelled.
Clarkson/May/Hammon win.
There's only one Top Gear USA: Tiny Dancer, Bearded Lady, and Mother Trucker!
All the yes!
Couldnt have said it better
And only one TRUE Top Gear: Jezza, Hampster and Captin Slow!
Yeah I thought too
Thought Adam was called "The Mole"
Being not American, I enjoyed the us version greatly as well as the UK version. It's a shame that tv bosses don't get it. The new us version in 2021 will have big shoes to fill. Rut and the boys should be proud of what they did and I really hope we see that combination again.
That's what you get in a country with 90% of its people who drive automatics, would rather watch "reality" bitch shows with plastic lifestyle craps and couldn't care less than any country besides their own great MURICA.
@@JMDrives basically
I liked it too. The guys were wholesome and fun. Adam especially, was gas. Loved the off-road car jump most!
yeah i agree
@@JMDrives I'm so lost what happened was their a missed comment u replied to
Honestly if it's not Adam, Tanner and Rutledge Don't forget the Stig it wouldn't be the same and pointless to even try to bring top gear 🇺🇸 back........
Exactly you won’t get the funny joking parts or them doing a trek thru the mountains
Hammond may and clarkson are the best
Well, it is back, and has been for some time. Did you not realize this? 3 completely different presenters. It comes across like a Car and Driver/Road and Track TV series, rather than Top Gear. In other words, it's horrible.
@@ianleavitt8333 they can't be replaced
@@magnom3922 never. I will watch the 22 seasons of those three on repeat until i die before i watch "new" or "american" top gear. Those 3 are what made the show. And im saying this as an American
what the BBC never grasped was that they couldn't just make new versions of Top Gear, the thing that made Top Gear so successful was Hammond, May and Clarkson, without those 3 there just simply isn't a Top Gear
Honestly the show wasn’t that bad. But the main issue was they called it top gear when it wasn’t really like top gear. Should have called it something else. Like from the creators of Top Gear and call it something else
Agreed. It would be like cooking without: Salt, Pepper, and Flour. Kinda limits your options and everything is bland.
Political cronies are not artistic. They are as far as you can go away from "talent", yet this board at the bbc make critical decisions they are not equipped to make. Keep government out of broadcasting. Chuck your tv licence.
@@Veeger dont tjink the goverment had anything to do with the BBC. The BBC hate the tory goverment & the goverment are quite vocal on the BBC getting the license fee as the BBC is very biased, BBC problems are the mad sandal wearing champagne socialists that run it, clarkson was always making fun of them. The bbc was once a british crown jewel, now it is a laughing stock.
they bitched a lot, and cryed , there not used to hp. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Those guys on the US version were really just starting (I know it took 5 seasons or something) to find their groove. You could tell they had become mates(friends/pals/buddies), smartarse comments & digs AND enjoying each other’s company... they weren’t faking it anymore.
Exactly. Its not like Jezzer, Hamster, and Cpt. Slow hit it off right away either. Hell Slow wasn't even until season 2. And they had all that car buying advice, and test drives🙄
It took awhile for them to find their groove too.
I totally agree though - the last two seasons you could tell it was a lot less scripted, and they were having a lot more fun. They were just starting to hit their stride. Unfortunately, as they say, it was good while it lasted.
true but remember who wrote the scripts, the frikin producers. you have to make it look good and meet the agenda the company wants regardless. that business and money.
Incorrect. Nobody got along with Tanner. John Ficarra of Hollywood picture cars told a colorful story about Tanner from the set of Top Gear on the VINwiki channel but has been taken down.
Top gear is dead after Jeremy, Richard, james left
Yes:(
u still have the grand tour
@@wowo1005 well maybe not the camera crews contract is running out after this season and there isn't any word on if they will resign on it
agreed. chris evans started killing it quickly then matt chris and rory were thr final bit of light, i quite liked them. but its just dead now
Top Gear is alive and well, the ratings are very good and the last couple of series have been very enjoyable. On the other hand The Grand Tour seems to be dying on its arse and becoming as tired as Top Gear was becoming with Jeremy James and Richard.
As a huge fan of Clarkson, Hammond, and May I actually liked Adam, Tanner, and Rutledge. In the first season, you can tell their chemistry needed to be worked on but by the middle of season 2 their chemistry had vastly improved and you could tell they were genuinely getting along, it was a shame it got cancelled and hopefully they end up hosting another car show soon
Love to see Rutledge more involved in NASCAR now at least
The English guy was a dik this series wasn't he. Like a flamboyant hobo trying to claim ownership over something. Like he's English the show is English I am the show.
Tanners day was their best. They should scrap uk top gear and send matt le blanc to this crew.
This is cast is pathetic though. I liked the guy in prison break but he just looks high and challenged often in this.
He also called the Ford Raptor a Fighter jet on four wheels. LOL. He just regurgitated everything he ever heard. But saves some for another day. Oh wow a mustang again. Aww is that the bullet one too.
They should do an episode on how rare the super muscle cars are today.
Oh the sassy asf English guy just said it too mustang meh. A mini Cooper could beat one.
Mini Cooper Crystal Palace Raceway boss mustang
Proof American cars are over rated. Way over. See that Ford escort 1.6 vs chevy 6L though.
Clarkson cannot be duplicated. Top Gear is not Top Gear without him. Car Trek on Tavarish's channel is pretty great though.
Agree. Car trek is the best equivalent to tg uk
Car Trek is what Top Gear USA wanted to be. I like it.
Both Clarkson and Tavarish are two of the most annoying D-bags’ on the face of the planet.
Car trek is good and a new one sorted
Clarkson is Top Gear. I still consider The Grand Tour as a Top Gear show, cuz it just is.
Honestly I feel like the U.S. version would still be on the air today if it didn’t use the top gear name
Stick Shift?
Automatic Gear?
@@neo529 idk first gear?
Bottom gear
like the aussie cousin..5th gear?
The moment you said, Motor trend we all knew, there is no reboot it is still dead. And Top Gear USA wasn't actually that bad, they had a good chemistry.
Their chemistry sucked that's what killed the show, the content was good.
I loved Top Gear USA, a lot of it was hilarious and I never took it seriously. I still watch it on Hulu and even my wife loves when Adam wrecks the cars, our favorite one is the flyin Caddi in season 1.
That jump was fantastic!
Tope gear ended with James, Hamster, and Clarkson
You mean jezza, hamster and captain slow
No, no, no jeremiah, jams and hammock
Agreed
@@sunscreamenterprisesbottom gear
I think he meant top gear 😂
The US version of the show With Tanner, Rutlidge, and Adam was the ONLY true predecessor to the UK version of the show and I truly ever loved.. Nobody could hold a candle to the original guys with the chemistry that they have and the amount of true love that they have for eachother as brothers.. So for me Tanner and the boys were the only ones that were able to come in and not look like they were just thrown in together to make a show.. But with those guys they looked natural like the original cast did.. So I miss both and will always crave new episodes with those guys
TGUSA with Tanner, Adam and Rutt was really not bad at all, it just wasn't Clarkson, Hammond and May and a lot of people had a hard time seeing past that.
finally someone who has a brain
Whats the point of wathcing TGUSA if all scripts and jokes are from UK but performed worse?
If you have seen all original top gear, USA is just a murican copy of something original :)
@@HeiJah No shit, sherlock. Tanner, Rutt and Adam had good chemistry, though and it was a fun show nevertheless.
As I said in another reply, when they were not copying a previously done UK episode, but doing their own thing, they were much better.
@@buffuniballer Which was for the majority of the show while it was on air... They did away with most of the TGUK stuff early on and went to doing mostly "challenegs."
Tog Gear USA aged so much better than I thought it would have. I've been seeing a lot of reruns on Vice and the episodes are hysterical. Those guys had some great chemistry on the show
They canceled is at the same time the show's getting really enjoyable to watch. The time where Adam, Tanner, and Rut got their own chemistry.
Hopefully they'll have their own show on Netflix or smth.
The current Top Gear UK will never come close to the Clarkson, May, Hammond trio. One of the best things about the old trio was their offensiveness. They made non-PG jokes, in general had "immature humor" and they were good at it. Offensive jokes are one of the best ways to make an audience laugh and I loved their way of making the jokes.
Top gear USA with tanner, Rutledge, and Adam was amazing and by far my favorite show.
To me the Adam Rutt and Tanner became something. Chemistry takes time, you cant just insert 3 people and think your going to capture the reason why people loved the original.
"It felt like it was imported from a 1980s beer commercial." America feels like that, not just the show.
Trying to Americanise the scathing British humour of Clarkson, Hammond and May was destined to fail.
I loved the Top Gear USA..I’m bummed it took me so long to find it
Funny how his name is "Tuna No Crust" when we literally got all of the crust and then catfish in the middle.
I feel sad 😢 that we won’t see Tanner Adam and Rutledge again. I enjoyed watching their show. It was entertaining and funny 😆. I had so much fun seeing them do all those crazy and fun challenges.
must not have seen the original
Once the US version got going I enjoyed it. I am a big fan of the UK show and The Grand Tour. Nobody tops Jezza,Hamster and slowly. But I liked it
Let’s just hope the new one is like when tanner, Rutledge, and Adam did the show I really like watching those three
New one is ass its basically a motor trend episode with top gear as title.
honestly top gear usa was ahead of its time. me and my brothers would watch every new episode that aired
Yeah same
we don't watch top gear, we watch James, Richard and Jeremy.
The last few seasons were getting really good. It's a shame it ended.
Only thing to say here: The show is not the same show if you don't have Clarkson, James and Hammon. No matters if they are older now still the kings of this type of show.
the main issue is these guys are retiring for good. otherwise they'll end up like stan lee(he died at the age of 98)
I really love top gear especially the US version it was entertaining as well as comical
.....old British is the best
You completely missed the 2017 Top Gear America reboot with William Fichtner as host
That was garbage. I suffered through half of one episode. Very unlikable and boring!
@@lobo241us didn't say it was good. Just said they missed it
@@lobo241us btw the post Clarkson, Top Gear is boring garbage as well. Hosts have no chemistry, scripted as hell, and just regurgitated content of what Clarkson, Hammond and May did.
Top Gear USA was great, and was the only show my entire family agreed upon. Rutt, Tanner and Adam gave the show personality.
Clarkson, Hammond and May have a chemistry that no other Top Gear has EVER been able to replicate. If anyone else even had one-fifth their unique camaraderie, their version of Top Gear wouldn't have failed, and the Grand Tour is simply 'Top Gear Amazon'...
I guess Top Gear UK is being slowly killed by its creator (BBC)
not really. the og three retired for a reason. its getting old. if they didnt. they would have ended up like stan lee and im not joking. thats would have happened
@@jackmagnium6115 thats not the reason lol, Jeremy punched someone at bbc and he left bcc and James and Richard followed Jeremey
when top gear fired jeremy clarkson, that when top gear should of ended
I thought the last 3 years where the best!!!!! I absolutely love it.
Dude I loved top gear literally the best show.
Bringing it back 2021... look it up. Hope it's just a good. All new cast
Nobody will be able to recreate the top gear USA trio... they where awesome and amazing!! Honestly I liked the USA version better than BBC all day long
Clarkson gave the 'oiky Oison from Ireland (BT) a smack when he arrived at the end of a gruelling day's filming up to his knees in freezing mud to find no amenities at all. Then he was told none had been arranged so he got a bit cross..
I have NEVER watched the abysmal replacement show the Birmingham Bucket Company put on instead. The Grand Tour from Amazon is an excellent replacement.
Surprisingly, Im watching this on january 29, 2021 when the new premiere is launched. What a coincidence
The BBC version was WAY FUNNIER. Nothing against the u.s. version, I'm a car guy and it was interesting seeing the obstacles or adventures one could do with different cars. All in all, as a car guy, I liked both but I'd rather put my money on the BBC version.
the thing is, jeremy, richard and james can make you smile and laugh just by talking about toilet paper. They are trully friends and have really good synergy. the other hosts cant even sound funny whille using scripted jokes. they have to think about how to be funny because thats the standard created by the original 3. they could be funny all day, like switching pants.
I thought top gear USA was funny. I enjoyed both versions equally
I loved Top Gear USA. I know that it wasn't as popular with audiences as the UK version, but it'll always be my favorite car show.
I loved and still watch Top Gear USA reruns, Tanner Rutledge and Adam were freaking hilarious together. Too bad they're not coming back for the revamp version starting late Jan 2021, might give it a chance but it'll never top the original TGUSA version.
0:48 "...UK _version_ of the show..."? You mean, "the _original_ show".
Top Gear requires a Jezza, a Hamster and a Captain Slow to be Top Gear.
I got about 3 minutes into the new UK version of TG. I had to turn the tv completely off cause I wanted to rip it from the wall and throw it out the front door. It sucks so much.
Where did you get the footage from the original pilot??
I have a good feeling about Dax & Corddry on the latest American TG.
I watched it and enjoyed it, good personalities and decent chemistry. Looks like they’re having fun, so hopefully that will continue to translate into a good show.
Say it with me: "Chemistry made Top Gear work". The chemistry has been missing from every other combo out there. Clarkson, Hammond and May are so different, but they play so well off each other that it drew you in because you felt like you were getting to hang out with them on their adventures. The new new Top Gear America feels... I'll give it a fair shake because I like the cast, but if the chemistry does not pan out, it's another miss.
10 mins of my life I can’t get back lol.
I really enjoyed the 2010-2016 version and i was hoping they would bring that back
Top gear has run its course, RIP.
TG USA with Ferrarra, Foust and Wood was much more entertaining than the UK version!
They also started doing podcasts "Speedy, Beardy, and The Mole", but with covid, there hasn't been any new episodes.
The original top gear was meant to be a car program, but eventually the top gear we know and love ended being Jeremy, James and Richard. It was inevitable that it wasn't going to be the same after they left, and that's why the grand tour feels more like top gear (at least for me) than the actual top gear, because the spirit of the top gear we love is and always will be the chemistry between those three crazy blokes.
I love Top Gear US. It was just fun.
Than look on UK version when they driving trucks or ambulance part or police chase parts:)
Hammond, May, Clarkson = Top Gear! anything else is just a cheep knock off.
I think the biggest problem the us version had was the restricted driving ability offered from being in the USA. They couldn't do half the things the uk version could
In the 80's power episode there was a green screen visible behind Tanner(I think). which means that it might be even less than you think
As a motorsport fan, this show was the only time I could tolerate hearing rutledge wood talk
Wym
@@flusteredweasel7483 his on air persona in nbscsn's motorsports coverage is obnoxious and unnecessary
@@kevincorbat7084 bad acting. Agreed
American Top Gear is garbage. No personality, forced cringey interactions.
Hell no stick with Adam Tanner and Rutts they were comical
The old UK version is more interesting here because of the difference in car culture. Its a total clash with what we’re used to and that’s why it was so great
How hard is it to understand that the reason Top Gear was so successful not because of the name or format. It was because of Jeremy, James, and Richard which cannot be replicated.
Always felt the US version had no chemistry, hated it.
Won't watch new one either #bringbackclarkson
I seen a couple minutes of the us version and it’s so boring and blank
It's not about U.S. verses the U.K. if you were to bring Clarkson, Hammond, May to the show over here, you would have a hugely popular series.
then again clarkson hit someone. put yourself in that persons shoes and understand what they went through. do u seriously want to keep a guy who just threw a punch at u and the insulted you? do you really want that? im a person about perspective and understanding others. i know from day one he was quite firm and if needed would get violent.
@@jackmagnium6115 yes I would
@@carabouttohityou6421 alright suit yourself but im sure others would frown at u for taking a hit and going on like that.
The BBC should not have gotten rid of Jeremy I have not watched a new episode of top gear ever since The Grand Toure is awesome
Clarkson and physical assault? Clarkson's allergic to manual labor XD
I was hoping it was gone and never to be heard from again... now i'm depressed.
The U.S. version was entertaining but was trying to hard to be funny
The show (TOP GEAR USA) was meh.. and then ok, but I watched because I like cars.. But Top Gear was great
Top gear U.S.A introduced me to top gear as a concept, and to top gear UK, and although they cannot replace Topgear UK, I salute them for introducing me to the great trio of the UK cast.
Tonight.... Jeremy punches a producer. James eats an apple, and Richard starts a new car show.
U.S. top gear was lame from the start.
Rutledge pulling up in the bissi odyssey was prolly the best scene in the series lol
0:55 to 0:59 shows a '73 Buick LeSabre Custom - does anybody what that was about? Which season/episode was that car featured?
I ownd one for seven years, with a 350 and a white roof. Loved that car!
Wait....they used the 3000gt with a trailer more than once ? They turned it and the hearse and the Honda Element into mail cars. I don't remember it in the desert...
What really killed top gear in the U.S., was cutting it down to 40 minutes, with 20 minutes of commercials. They removed much of the interesting parts of the show, and filled it with garbage. As all cable channels are now filling their shows with commercials even though we're already paying to watch, cable TV is pretty much junk at this point.
It wasn’t the show so much as the presenters. Jeremy, James and Richard. You can’t replicate that.
I’m gonna be honest I didn’t even know that this even existed until now
WTF?
I’ve never even heard of that app! What makes them think that it will succeed on something barely anyone has or even knows about?!
I don't expect this new incarnation to be successful on an app. I, also, enjoyed Hammond, Clarkson and May. I loved Tanner, Rutledge and Adam's chemistry and I hope they are able to put a new show together. Would be nice to see them on screen again.
I know a lot of people are going to and already have mentioned that top gear wasn’t and isn’t the same without the trio that is; Jeremy Clarkson, James May & Richard Hammond. But what people often forget or overlook is the fact that top gear was around decades before the trio was created, and the show could most likely still be around for many years to come. I’m also just going to say, if you are yet to watch an episode of pre 2000’s top gear, I do employ you too, as the show was just as equally factual and entertaining as when the Famous trio lead the series’ on for the years that followed.
Well yeah, no shit it wasn't going to be as good as the original. Top Gear BBC was one of the most watched shows on the entire planet for like 5 years straight. You can't expect a spin off to do anywhere even close to those numbers. The original aired in like 150 countries.a
Took me a few seasons to get into top gear USA but I really enjoyed it when I stopped comparing it to Clarkson and enjoyed it for what it was
I must say since jezza, Hammond and may left I think I watched 2 episodes of top gear since, love old top gear and grand tour
The true strength of Top Gear is how the host work well with itch other. People also forget that Top Gear had to grow to the position, and has it grows the relationship between the host grown stronger. The only thing that top gear usa needed was time to grow and for the audience and the host start to understand itch other
I'm shocked the newest Top Gear USA wasn't cancelled as soon as Dax Whatzhisface was named as one of the hosts.
I started watching Top Gear USA (Adam, Rutledge and Tanner) as a flip-to when commercials began on other shows that I was watching. In short order, the chemistry of those three.. and their antics... pulled me in. I grew to love the show. I was sorry to see it go. I haven't seen the new Top Gear USA. Hopefully Dax, Jethro and Rob can pull it off.
You can't spell top gear without Clarkson, Hammond and May
Just clicked on this video to see how many comments would reference the holy trinity of British television. Wasn't disappointed.
the US version had a slow start, but eventually pick up speed, but i did find that a lot of the UK version's challenges were reused, especially the Beater Boot Camp episode of the USA version which essentially is a carbon copy of the British Leyland Challenge. both episodes featured vintage cars from a then-large well-known corporation (GM in the US' case); both episodes feature challenges of a handbrake test on a 20% incline, a ride quality test by driving on a cobblestone road with a colander full of eggs strapped over their heads (points lost for every ounce of egg lost, as well as trim pieces that fell off) and lastly a water-proof test to see which car can retain the most water while doing a lap on a track.
Those three are perfect for Top Gear America. Anything with Tanner is usually gold,dude has a great camera presence
