does anyone here watch it?

i was going through some threads on History channels website and almost everyone is bashing it....i like it i dont see why everyone hates it...i have a feeling it is because they are comparing it to Top Gear UK which cant be done or that will just ruin it for you...over the past couple of days i have watched season 1 again and i was laughing just as much if not more than i do when i watch TG UK.

i think season 2 is gonna be awesome! it airs July 24th if anyone is interested.

i watch it, it got better as the season went along.

there aren't many car shows out there that aren't about lifting pick-em-up trucks or restoring some old crap muscle car.

Went to a taping. Watched them all. Mostly "meh" but I thought two episodes stood out: the one about running moonshine and the one about how gm should bring back the roadmaster wagon.

I will watch it again. Watched "The Car Show" the other night and it was painful. More original than TGUSA but not a better show.

The "Car SHow" is hosted by Adam Corrola on Speed. The first episode was decent, and they left themselves a lot of room for improvement. I still have it set in the DVR.

If you like Adam's humor, then you'll probably enjoy it. If not, give it a shot, there are a few other co-hosts...

I liked "Car Shows" challenge last night with Brian Johnson. I wish they would have given him a little more time though. He is an intense car guy and racer, and I'm sure he has lots of great stories.

I think they need to regularly have stars on that people may not realize are car guys.
