Maybe it's just too candid for the advertisers?

Where'd you hear that?

I was wondering why it wasn't on last night, Then I had seen that this was posted up on one of the Porsche boards, I looked on Discovery channels website and Top Gear is missing from the line up and show lists...........Someone else link this to the other boards

well according to the UK website, they will be back on in Nov. Poppycock and rubbish........................................... ..... http://www.topgear.com/content/tgonbbc2/


Besides, I think the UK is still one season ahead of the shows we have already seen......

I'm sure she means the U.S. version, with the "For American audiences" studio bits and "x GBP is x USD" subtitles.

mutha fooker!!!:tdown: :mad: :tdown: :mad: i love that show.
Did you guys see the one where they tested the Renult Clio. It was great he was boasting on how great the car was and how good it handles, and at the last minute he throws in a lil brit wit. "but of course push it over the edge and it surrenders just like the coutry its built by" i laughed my ass off.

Great news. Just read this on Vortex.

Thank you for contacting Discovery Channel. We appreciate you taking the
time to share your thoughts and concerns with us regarding “Top Gear.”
Your comments will be forwarded to our program management and executives
and will be taken into consideration.

The "Top Gear" show was not "taken off the air" but rather ran its pattern.
It is being revamped for a U.S. audience and will return later this year.
Look for it in December.
