Yes. It was hilarious. I can easily accept Clarkson's contempt and disdain for America as part of his idiosyncratic Brit nature, as long as the show continues to be so very entertaining. Even if half of it is staged.

For news, updates, and show downloads: FinalGear.com :: Your #1 Top Gear and Fifth Gear Fansite

The guy who records it for them has been having computer issues so this last episode is only available in 700mb format right now, but it's totally worth the download:
Top Gear 9x03 (PDTV-FoV)[VTV] : TV Shows > Top Gear - Mininova

Especially neat seeing familiar places and landmarks and places I've been even though I rarely go over to the East Coast.

As long as you take Top Gear as entertainment (Clarkson is a comedian after all) and not a serious car test show ala Autoweek, it's fucking amazing.

Why on earth a major network in this country does not have a prime time show devoted to this countries love of the automobile blows my mind.

Well put.

I love Top Gear and have a global enough view to see their side of jokes. If people think that insults are due to jealousy, then those people live in a damn bubble. They were asking for a lot of the trouble they got, and it would have happened the same to Americans. I think it was more playing up the cultural differences than actual anti-american sentiment. Personally, I think outside views of our country help put our priorities and faults into perspective.

I think being referred to as Colonials is hilarious.

If you see that torn up bridge in the background right after they get on the road with their slogan'd up cars, that's the half of the I-10 bridge just east of Pensacola. If they though it was ridiculous that parts of New Orleans weren't put back after a year, they should know that hurricane Ivan knocked down the I-10 bridge a full year before that! Talk about lack of progress.
