Top Gear USA season is over. What's your assessment?

[motopsyco]

The problem with this show (and its acute in this case) is that the producers simply copied the original sans the budget to replicate it correctly. What needed to be done was to have the show develop its own mythos (ie, The Stig is so way out of place as to be confusing. Where in the hell did he come from?). Sure the original is charming and entertaining, but for a US audience the show needs its own devices to entertain.

Cheers!
