Official News: TopGear USA on NBC confirmed

Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: June 16, 2008

topgear usa, adam corolla, gear, NBC, BBCSee more info on Jalopnik here. Apparently TopGear (or Gear) as they call it here will be coming to the US with Adam Corolla after all. I am not sure when though. You would expect someone like me to be crazy go nuts for this right now but I have to admit I look at NBC remaking this EPIC series with a bit of skepticism. I find that it is hard to remake a series that was a mix of personalities more than content. It relies heavily on who they choose and even if you get exact replicas of James, Jeremy and Richard there is no guarantee that they will get along in the same manner. Even if it is partially scripted (GASP!). Anyway I guess we will have to hang out watching our old episodes of TG UK on DVD all summer and wait this out to see if the TG UK season 11 and the TG USA season 1 have legs this fall. (they seem to have copied at least the TG hairstyles from this picture)

Now, just have Carolla rip on to the America’s Got Talent stage and challenge the Hoff to a race with the old KITT. Maybe they will tomorrow tonight.

Well the pilot is approved, so it’s really up to network executives to approve or deny the show. I’m scared they will skew the show towards the NASCAR crowd.

o man ive been looking to get tickets, i so wanna go to the first episode. I hope it will be in an standing setting just like top gear BBC.

o well, im sure the show will be great and i hope nbc doesnt hold the guys back.
