    Ours was different than the BBC one though, Discovery channel was showing stuff from the season before, and it was all kind of cut and pasted together from different episodes. Even the hosting was filmed just for America, and it was shortened for commercials. All in all, it was kind of watered down compared to the real one that I've been downloading, but still by far the best US car show on TV.

    its been completely removed from the lineup. some guy from fark.com cut and pasted his email to discovery, which said that they would no longer be carrying it.
    "..Torchinski v. Peterson that it is legal to carry a concealed weapon, so long the weapon is totally slick like a huge ass machine gun that you carry under a trench coat, like in the Matrix."

    Bastards! That's the only show that I actually planned on watching every week, guess I have to go back to downloading them. Now we're back to watching the brown nosing shows on Speed and Spike on Sat mornings, where either they just kiss ass for an entire episode, or annoy you to death. I swear, I've seen videos by high schoolers that have higher production quality and acting than those shows.

    Discovery only purchased a limited numberof shows to determine the success of the show here in the States. The number of shows purchase has expired. From the Discovery Channel, "Top Gear will return next season with a few added twists".
