I chose Season 1, because that was about the same time that people on the internet started watching it... and then decided to do nothing but , whine and complain. Thats the only thing thats gone downhill about it. :hiya:

How do you think Milli and I and everyone else in the world is watching them now?

What an amazing car... :drool:

Well, Top Gear has always been scripted. It's just that the humour has become more prevalent within that scripting as of late. Bits like the Clarkson P45 are naturally going to be massively scripted, it just makes sense to me. And speaking of scripting, even with the humour becoming blatantly obvious, I'd say their writers are much better than they were in season 6 or 10; it's tough to explain but despite the problems that people have with the show, I find it flows much better now than it ever has before. Top Gear hasn't gone downhill, it's changed. And those are two different things. Simply because something changes, doesn't mean it's worse. (Obviously we're all entitled to opinions around here and that's the great thing about humanity, RIGHT??)

Time for another update.

^ Agreed. I'll let you know when it goes downhill, but personally I still thoroughly enjoy it. I get the feeling people are just watching it so they can complain these days, if you don't like it, don't watch it, and don't complain. Simple. :rolleyes:

I was kidding! For all I know you smell lovely. :nods:

I have also started noticing the scripted stuff more easily but it still doesn't mean that I don't enjoy it. I loved S19E01 and even though the P45 part was massively scripted, I still laughed my arse off. Call me easily amused but Top Gear is still pure gold, it hasn't gone downhill a bit. My 2c.

No need to turn this into a religious debate. You know people can't handle that :D teehee

I don't think it has. Yes it's changed but I still think it's good.

The potato.

It's not so much it's gone downhill more like they try too hard to be funny, whereas in the early-mid seasons there was a natural comedy to their antics.

minidisc didn't take off anywhere... Maybe Lol could put up as poll/comp to guess what the mystery box is. Winner gets the car. :D

This is a computer game, not reality.

they havent imo, I still enjoy watching it and I like the humor in it *puts on flame retardant suit*

since they've stopped caring about cars and concentrate on cocking up. I think somewhere around 8 or 9th season. The jokes and cock ups used to be here and there. Now the whole show is scripted on cheap entertainment .
