Give Evans a chance, it's his first episode!

Top Gear US seemed super wooden at first but by the end of the first season there was some better chemistry (albeit not anything compared to the original trio). I think it'll round into a decent car show, again, something I'll probably like to the same extent as a show like Mythbusters. I'll watch it but I won't be jonesing for it every sunday like I used too.

And hey, this show is better than no show. Especially while we wait for Clarkson and co. to finally put something out.

One thing I learned yesterday that might make us all feel better about what happened to Top Gear is that The Grand Tour is signed for 36 episodes over three years. Thats way more episodes than we could have expected if the normal Top Gear was still going. By the end they where doing what, 6-8 episodes a season normally? So we gain an extra 10ish episodes of Jezza and the boys? That's a win!
