Top Gear---Cancelled!

I got this from an evo forum, please read:

The awesome show Top Gear is not continuing in the US market for next season. Last week's episode was the last one. If you want, you can fill out a quick program request at BBC America's website. (link below)

http://www.bbcamerica.com/about/con..._suggestion.jsp

Top Gear is actually a British show on BBC, but was re-published for the American market by Discovery Channel. Since BBC is not available in the US (except the BBC-America version), this is the most likely way to get the show back on the air. Please take a moment to visit the BBC-A site.

If anyone has any other recommendations (petition or something), please post them here.

maybe they would be more popular if we didnt just get all the old reruns. start showing the new episodes over here and i guarantee it would be a hit

I never even knew when that damn show was on. I guess I'll just wait for people to post the .mov's or .wmv's or whatever

was that the one on Speed channel or discovery?

I get sick of that show with the fat guy 'tim hnatiw' (his name makes my head hurt) and the wannabe rock punk 'kazzer' on speed....

Way better to download it anyways. The episodes air Sundays in the UK and the torrent files are on Mininova by Monday night. An hour long with no commercials!
