I just recently started watching this show on BBC America. It is awesome. Anybody else watch it?

Is that the show where a new AD comes to town, dismisses coaches and alums that, although successful on the field, do not fill the bill that the new AD needs, but he compensates with new facilities, improvements, and other TOP GEAR...
...and in spite of the obvious overall program improvements, various supporters of the previously dismissed coaches call it all window dressing and turn over the teams' losses?

(sarcasm off)

No. It's not.

That pot needs no more stirring, fumbles.

As for LUconn's query, I've not seen it yet.

I thought it was funny fumble.

Well, it's an entertaining show that is mostly about cars. They test out supercars and normal cars, but it's not boring like you'd find on car and driver TV. They're just 3 goofy Brittish guys having fun with the cars they drive. And they usually interview a celeb in the middle of the show and make them do a lap around their track and the keep track of everybody's times. The only thing that somewhat sucks about the show is that there are a lot of references to what I can only assume is Brittish culutre in their jokes that I don't understand.

I love this show. The best one I've seen was when they took an old Toyota Hilux pickup and to show how durable it is they did things like chain it down on the ocean shore and let the tide completely flood it, drop a travel trailer on top of it from a crane, and finally douse the cab with gas and set it on fire. It still ran.

On the other extreme they test drive some of the fastest and most exotic cars on the planet.

In all seriousness, that sounds like a pretty cool show...I shall check it out.

I've seen that on youtube before. I didn't even realize it was Top Gear but now that you mention it, that's exactly the type of stuff that they do.
