The bear witness's first two seasons followed a similar format of the BBC version: three main hosts nowadays, The Stig (an anonymous race driver) tests vehicles, and celebrities are invited for interviews and to drive vehicles around a exam track.[4] In addition, challenges like in nature to the ones presented in the original show are replicated in Top Gear. The "Star in a Reasonably Priced Auto" (retitled "Big Star, Small Machine") segment uses a Suzuki SX4 Sportback.[5] Filming of this segment, along with in-studio segments take place at the onetime Marine Corps Air Station El Toro,[6] now known as the Orangish Canton Not bad Park, in Irvine, California.

History [edit]

Top Gear on Discovery Aqueduct [edit]

In 2005, Discovery Channel made a airplane pilot for an American version of the bear witness featuring actor and IHRA commuter Bruno Massel, actor John Jenkinson, and actor John Littlefield as the hosts. The attempt was not picked up by the Discovery Aqueduct. The pilot featured Iron Man manager Jon Favreau equally the Star in a Reasonably Priced Motorcar, a race between Littlefield'southward 2005 Ford Mustang and Jenkinson's 2005 Dodge Charger R/T, and a review of the Lexus RX 400h. After the pilot proved to be unsuccessful, the Discovery Aqueduct later began airing a slightly "Americanized" version of the British Elevation Gear evidence with presenters Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May. This show featured clips of features and challenges from Series one–five from the BBC 2 bear witness with introduction segments recorded by Clarkson, Hammond and May at the Dunsfold Aerodrome studio especially for the Us audience. Regular features like "The News" and "Star in a Reasonably Priced Machine" were not shown on the Discovery Aqueduct version.

Superlative Gear on NBC [edit]

In April 2007, the BBC was still looking to launch a locally produced version of Peak Gear in the Us.[7] NBC appear, in Jan 2008, that information technology had ordered a airplane pilot for an American version of the show, retitled Gear.[4] BBC Worldwide had been contracted to produce the airplane pilot for NBC.[8] Co-ordinate to NBC reality chief Craig Plestis, many automakers had shown involvement in America's version of Top Gear.[nine]

On June 16, 2008, NBC and the BBC officially announced an American version of Top Gear, to be hosted by Adam Carolla, Tanner Foust and Eric Stromer.[10] [11] The studio segments for the pilot were taped on July 26, 2008 to mostly favorable reviews citing shut post-obit of the UK version's format.[12] NBC was expected to accept Elevation Gear premiere every bit a midseason replacement in 2009.[13]

Jay Leno, who originally turned down offers to host the prove, expressed concern in 2008 over whether or non a bear witness similar Top Gear could be successful in America.[fourteen] [15] In a column published by The Lord's day Times in 2008, Leno expressed concern that an American version could lack the critical reviews for which the British version is known.[16] The British show is produced for the BBC with public funds while the American show airs on commercial television. Leno believes that the show may take to worry virtually offending electric current and potential sponsors by giving their products poor reviews, leading to a compromise in the journalistic integrity and freedom of the original testify.

On December xi, 2008, NBC reversed its decision to place the prove every bit a midseason replacement, citing concerns about the potential success of a auto-themed show in light of the failure of Knight Rider. NBC allowed the BBC to store it around to cable networks to possibly pick it up.[17] In Feb 2009, Jeremy Clarkson stated that the American version had been "canned", challenge that focus groups "... just don't empathise a single word we're on about. They only don't get it actually."[18]

Top Gear on History [edit]

On August vi, 2010, the get-go Top Gear trailer was published on the spider web, giving fans a preview on what to expect on the upcoming episodes to exist circulate on the History Channel. In this trailer, new hosts Adam Ferrara, Tanner Foust, and Rutledge Woods were seen participating in a Moonshine Claiming and Tanner Foust likewise takes a Contrivance Viper for a test drive.[xix] The showtime flavour premiered on November 21, 2010, and equally of 2014, the series has been renewed for its fifth season. Commenting on the 2d season renewal, UK host Jeremy Clarkson noted, "Top Gear is our baby so you can sympathise why Hammond, May and I were anxious virtually passing information technology on to the presenters of the US show. We needn't have worried because Top Gear is clearly in safe hands, even if they do insist on speaking in those stupid accents. Watching an episode from series one with Richard and James, we institute ourselves in a genuinely heated argue about which of the presenters' cars was best. We were just three ordinary chaps watching a car show and loving it, which is exactly what Meridian Gear should be. Bring on series ii."[twenty]

In a Facebook post on June 26, 2016, Wood stated his belief that the episode set to air the same week would be the last for the series on History.[21]

Circulate [edit]

Elevation Gear premiered in the The states on History on November 21, 2010. On February 10, 2011, the testify was renewed for a second season to premiere on November the aforementioned twelvemonth.[22] On May eleven, 2012, History renewed Acme Gear for a 16 episode third season,[23] which premiered August 14, 2012.[24] The second half of the flavor premiered January 29, 2013.[25] It was renewed for a fourth season, which started filming April 30, 2013,[26] and premiered on September three, 2013.[27] The 5th flavour premiered on June 3, 2014.[28] Its most recent season, Season 6, began airing on April 26, 2016.[28] [29] On June 28, 2016, the BBC confirmed that the serial had completed its contractual run on the History channel."[30]

Reception [edit]

Earlier the show started, there was a mixed response to Top Gear existence remade for a US audience. Stuart Heritage of The Guardian noted the brutal response to the first trailer of the History Channel version of the show on the Net, with YouTube users noting History's version to exist an "'insult to the actual Elevation Gear" amidst other less favorable comments. Agreeing with the commenters, Heritage notes that U.s. television doesn't have "Jeremy Clarkson, Captain Slow and The Hamster," only noting the original BBC version isn't exactly "British" per se, and figured the testify could perhaps interpret hands if done right.[32]

Top Gear premiered at 1.9 one thousand thousand viewers in its first episode, which dropped to ane.3 million viewers after the beginning episode. The second-flavor premiere had a viewership of 2 one thousand thousand viewers.[33] Metacritic collected an aggregated score of 72 for season 1.[34]

The testify has received mixed reviews from numerous critics. Tim Goodman of The Hollywood Reporter judged the bear witness as a whole, noting, "Information technology's a promising beginning for a show most idea would terminate upwardly in a ditch." Goodman noted the shaky history of the show being brought over to the The states (including Jay Leno'south take on the Star in a Reasonably Price Car segment for his short-lived testify) and the venom of online comments, to which Goodman replies: "Everyone gets it."[35] Mike Hale of the New York Times had mixed reactions to the show, going from how History'south version almost slavishly follows the formula the BBC version uses ("that any subject or concept tin appeal to a broad audience if you find the right balance of competition and destruction (the childlike dandy of big objects) with humor, sentiment and pretty locations.") to how the show has gaps between the BBC and History Channel version. Hale had concerns the show was not translating well, every bit the History version lacks the "going out of the lines" aspect of the original, and the host lineup for History's version being younger and more callow than the BBC version's hosts.[36]

John Krewson of Gawker Media, writing for Jalopnik, encouraged readers to watch the testify. Watching the get-go three episodes of season one, he noted the first episode would be "little strange for nigh viewers." but towards the third episode, viewers should "have the snack tray full and an hour complimentary," and praising the testify despite its initial roughness.[37] Chris Shunk, writing for Autoblog, was impressed with the start show, simply warned readers to not compare History'due south version of Top Gear to the BBC version of Top Gear so easily. Also, the show would encourage Autoblog to "keep watching... at least for ix more weeks."[38] Lee Pray of Edmunds Inside Line noted the show seems worthwhile, but while it won't match upwards the original BBC version, information technology was worth to have two versions of Top Gear around.[39] The A.V. Club gave the show an overall rating of C, lamenting that Season One of the series ended with a prune show, and non liking host Adam Ferrara. The review compared both the BBC and History Aqueduct versions, and claimed that History's version borrowed "the graphics, music, and editing...." of the original, but that the show felt like information technology was "imported from a 1980s beer commercial."[xl]
