I'll be getting cable soon I'll have to check it out. I'm always up for a car show.

I've watched it a couple of times now, but so far I'm not too impressed. It does give me an alternative to watch though instead of the all the pawn shop and storage locker purchase shows they've been cramming down our throats lately.

I'm watching Auction Hunters as I type this. As for the car show, I'm not a huge fan of Adam Carolla. But I do like the show. Even though I find Adam kinda annoying. Good show. Hope it's around for a while.

I'm not really a fan either- I do keep watching it each week though, because some of the stuff is decent.

I think Jon Salley seems a bit out of place (not trying to be racist by this), the first episode, it seemed like he had virtually nothing to add- and it seems like he plays a much more minor role in the episodes than the other 3.

I also think Adam tries a bit too hard, and comes off as a bit much. Some of his jokes are ok- I like to see the group have fun with it- but it seems like he tries to squeeze in too much.

I think they've got some good segments in there, and also a few that just need to be canned for good.


As for Top Gear US, I do think it is getting better this season, although I didn't like the season premier episode.

Regardless, I still have the DVR set up to record all the new episodes of both, just since there aren't a whole lot of car shows on right now.

That's how my DVR is set-up. Also for Top Gear UK when it airs later this month on BBCAmerica.
