Top Gear on Discovery Channel

Wednesday nights at 10EST.

Watch it, fools!

Instead of leaving the episodes as they were (which wouldn't have worked anyway - fewer breaks on the BBC), somebody did a fine job cutting the segments into new episodes that work better for an American audience. The interviews and news segments are gone. In between the reviews and other segments, they recorded new studio footage - they even got live audiences and brought in the cars from the segments. The hosts speak directly to an American audience and pounds are even converted to US dollars in subtitles.

It's awesome.
