What went wrong?

As a top gear fan from 2002+ i completely agree

Shame it cant go back to just being a car show with the boys doing the odd special.

If season 2 doesnt pick up like the tail end of Season 1 ill drop it

Oh look, it's this thread again

The actual car films are okay, all the tent scenes are completely rubbish

EVERYDAY WITH THIS SHIT

I wonder if they were aware that they color coded the cars like these.

>>No longer even somewhat informative
aaaaahahahaha
As if TopLel ever was informative. At best it was completely dis-informative actually.

I think you don't get the concept. Both series are ENTERTAINMENT series for the whole family.
Informative TopGear died in the early 00s.

>scripted to hell
That's how top gear always worked, and it worked.

Problem with TGT was lack of proper content. Every top gear special was cool, and TGT had maybe one episode (buggies) that fits in this kind of "special" scheme. Other episodes were simply about running around in expensive cars and cracking dumb jokes.

They should get limited budget, so all they can do is shitbox fun. Twelve episodes of running around vietnam in 2-stroke bikes and shitbox rallycross, that's flawless recipe for their show.

>Drags on way too long
Top gear was all of those things before it became the grand tour anyway you silly cunts

>look, it's the stig
>with new, fun way of using character
>except he's not in TGT at all
that was cheap

As soon as i realised there will be no cheap car challenges i dropped off this trainwreck

They didn't. Stop.

BBC owns "Top Gear", "the Stig", and "star in a reasonably priced car" so they can't do the exact same show. I'm guessing it's like a placeholder while they figure out what to do with the celebrities in season 2.

You've got to admit that the launch control short was fucking gold, though.

I spent the whole season waiting for a "Surprise! He made it on!"

I'm quite disappointed that they did nothing with the segment the entire time.

>Informative TopGear died in the early 00s.
It died because it was informative
Viewers have spoken, they did not want to see best deal on a family sedan with preferential loan.
They wanted to see Jezza screaming POWAAAH while power drifting through the corners in an absurdly expensive supercar, jokes about Hammonds height, and Mays slowness.

they cant, probably, as soon as they do BBC will sue them to hell and back

They're trying to make Not Top Gear instead of just making a good car show.

well put good sir
