I know I am.

Feb. is the start of season 19 but there's no confirmed exact date.

I really wish they would air this series in the US. Top Gear USA just lacks the chemistry and show layout that's present in the UK version.

I'm not excited about it at all.

I am.

I think they will broadcast it, mainly in BBC America (if your local cable provider has it).

doG, it's been too long

(stupid Olympics... wait, I went to the trials so I could be on the US team and visit London.. and Beijing before that....)

Bring it on. I'm ready for some QUALITY TV. If that was aired in the US, I might, just maybe, still have a paid TV subscription. As it is, torrents will do.

It was aired on TV here, last I had TV. BBC USA.
Try Fifth Gear for change. I actually like it a bit better.

I am for sure. BBCA has only been running 'Best of' shows for months now, but for hardcore fans, that's like watered down reruns.

I'm excited. It will have been a year since they have been off the air, but I think a break was probably a good thing.

Top Gear is one of the best television shows ever. My wife, who is not a "petrol head" by any stretch of the imagination, will even sit down and watch it with me and enjoys it immensely. I'm always up for new Top Gear episodes. I need to start buying the seasons on Blu-ray.

I also enjoy Top Gear America. The first season was a little rough, but I felt the guys were forming a good chemistry in the second season. They will never be able to match the chemistry of Jeremy, Richard and James, but they are getting much better and they do provide some good automotive entertainment.

Same here. It's one of my wife's favorite shows to watch with me. We tried Fifth Gear as well (which I really like, btw), but it's too 'car guy' oriented for her to get into it.
