    Every, single, spinoff of Top Gear, which by definition didn’t have the trio, failed. I mean they tried three times in the US, and all three failed. They tried one in every English-speaking country, and some non-English-speaking ones. They all failed.

    Then the trio went to Amazon because the BBC wouldn’t accommodate the big buffoon’s ego and stupid shenanigans, and even there it took them a couple of years and several major changes to the format of the show for things to click, which still wasn’t as good as Top Gear.

    Amazon couldn’t even find three car guys!? One of them is a “trainspotter”?

    This’ll fail too, spectacularly.

      The thing is, Top Gear isn’t a show about cars. It’s May, Hammond, and Clarkson. And somehow none of the higher ups ever got that. Not Amazon, not BBC.
