10 pm. I don't know about the hosts they picked, but we'll see. No one expects it to be nearly as good as the original, but hopefully it's worth watching. I'll check it out for sure. History channel does have some interesting series lately. I find "IRT deadliest roads" quite entertaining.

I hope it's not like the Australian top gear. They are on their second season now. Changed some of the host for the 2nd season cus the 1st was so bad. It's just too hard to be origional. Because the TopGear formula is so popular the new shows try to clone it but it doesn;t work. They need to be more origional I think. The Australian guys seem like they are acting and reading a script but the UK guys don't.

I will give it ago, i hope it isn't pure crap.

On a side note IRT deadliest roads is terrabad.

The cars and the format is irrelevant. Clarkson's jerkish nature and his interactions with nerdy/goofy May and pretty boy / half-midget Hammond is what makes the show awesome (plus the Stig of course). The show could have been about decorative plates and it'd still be hilarious.

The show is great because of the actors in it, it does help that they are doing donuts in bugattis and such, but still they make the show. Thats why its hard to make another, everyone watches expecting it to be the same, but when the new actors cant act the same, or try something new, everyone loses interest.

Tonight, in a couple hours. From the perviews, it does look like the hosts may not quite understand what makes the original great. Hopefully it works somehow.
