- 14 Dec 10, 12:39#230530We had different takes on the episode... which just goes to show a difference of opinion out there. I hope they do well enough to warrant a second season. Tanner and Rutledge are actually working for me, but Adam Ferrara just feels dry in his deliveries. The segments have felt a bit boring. I'm not a kid rock fan but he worked well in the celebrity segment.
My complaint with the show so far has been that it just feels as if they're reading off of a script handed to them. The jokes don't feel like they're being generated on the spot by a host, they just feel like a sit com more than guys standing around ranking on each other.
I want to completely disengage from my expectations and treat this like its own show, but they make it difficult. The segments haven't been funny and there is just little chemistry. I can count on one hand how many times I chuckle watching this, where there are TG episodes like the camper show... err sorry caravan show they did last season that had me peeing my pants.
I really want this to succeed but I fear that the recipe they're using this first season may not be enough to get them signed for a second season. I'd love the sow to come into its own and be "the" American top gear, instead of the "American" version of top gear.
The need to get rid of Ferrara, give Rutledge and Tanner more interaction together and let them just talk on stage less scripted and forget that there's another show on the other side of the Atlantic.
There was a show I forgot which one, but I think it may have been the previous week, where I swear they used a laugh track because the audience just wants laughing at some of the punch lines.
"I don't want to be part of a forum where everyone has differing opinions." Boom...
