Totally agree. TOP GEAR rules.
I am expecting to go to England this spring, so I went to their website to see about tickets for viewing. Turns out their waiting list is like a year long. I signed up anyway...
Oh, just so you know, BBC America runs the show -- it's even available for viewing on Comcast On-Demand (as well as download from iTunes). Those versions are edited for time, though (maybe about 5-10 minutes cut -- taking the 60 minute show down to 50-55 minutes,) and are running about two seasons behind what's being aired in the UK.
There was talk about NBC doing a US version called TOP GEAR USA starring Adam Carolla, but NBC passed on it. In a way, I'm kind of glad...I'd hate to see a dumbed-down show for the American market. (I noticed a lot of our Aussie friends are lukewarm on the Australian TOP GEAR, too.)
