However, I have to say that this show, especially in it's earlier seasons has had a much greater influence on me as a car enthusiast compared to all of the F&F movies.

I'm happy he's gone. Lets get someone with a bit of respect and humility on the show, who isn't such an ass as Jeremy. Not butt hurt here, just looking forward to seeing what's next.

that Mr Tymon took himself to hospital after he was subject to an "unprovoked physical and verbal attack".
"During the physical attack Oisin Tymon was struck, resulting in swelling and bleeding to his lip."
It lasted "around 30 seconds and was halted by the intervention of a witness," Mr MacQuarrie noted in his report.
"The verbal abuse was sustained over a longer period" and "contained the strongest expletives and threats to sack" Mr Tymon, who believed he had lost his job.

The show was getting pretty tired anyway. Clarkson plays an ass, May plays an old nerd, and Hammond plays an idiot child. They have been doing the same shtick for a LONG time now, but I would like to see the rest of this season.
I enjoy watching Clarkson, but I’d be interested so see him in a different venue of sorts. He entertaining, but only when he’s not playing up being an idiot. I’d like to hear his real opinion on specific cars.
I hope May gets a technical show spin off. I’d love to see just “James may on cars” getting as geeky as he wants. Car history, how stuff works, new car technology’s etc. That would be entertaining.
Hammond should go back to morning radio.
I’d like to see Clarkson, Plato, Needell and May all do a show together. Take the best bits of 5th gear and top gear and mash them up.

Whats funnier is a grown man having temper tantrum like a little kid and punching someone because the restaurant is closed.
Let me punch you and see how you react.

Almost sounds like Clarkson tried to sack himself. Maybe he wants out anyways and took advantage of the opportunity?
So March 4th it happened, he apologizes in numerous ways to the producer. Sounds like everythings fine now but then Clarkson decides to report himself March 9th. Just a thought.
Do hope the trio create something new somewhere else. Though it might not be top gear again im sure there are plenty of stations that have enough cash to make it happen.

If May and Hammond decide to leave and join JC and start a new show it'll probably be bigger than TG and make them a lot of money.
And it makes you wonder if BBC might just sell the TG brand if they realize that TG is basically worthless since May and Hammond have hinted they might not renew their contracts.

BBC and Jeremy fucked themselves...
Such a waste of a good show, especially nowadays where entertaining shows are super rare. I would say in the past 3-4 years the most entertaining show on television was Breaking Bad and Top Gear (imo).

There are a lot more shows in general now IMO, however there are very few (if any) that I would consider ranking with Top Gear in terms of entertainment value. I don't think I've ever been as eager to watch a new episode of any show as much as I have been for new episodes of TG.

I agree with harvey...walking dead wasn't bad either and Suits just got super boring after the second season...Family guy use to be funny but now its just forced and weird.
If it wasn't for GolTV and Beinsports i would most likely cancel my cable but i need my futbol fix.
