Quote from JTbo :

If that ain't good sheep o meter, then I don't know what is, or it could be another show just offers different things that are not interesting to most board users, but that I don't believe

I recently had this feeling in the classroom.. Everyone was acting like sheep. We had to pick a theme, and the teacher asked everyone what they liked. I went first, I picked cartoons. Then two friends picked games. And suddenly everyone who didn't knew what to pick went for games.. I was the only one interested in cartoons or anything else than games..
Talk about sheep

Sorry to pull up an old thread but I was just thinking of this, having had the pleasure of watching several re-runs of both series on Dave recently.


Anyway... IMO:


Top Gear whilst admitedly entertaining, is truely crap as a motor journalism program if you're interested in actually knowing anything about how good a car is. It's so unbelievably biased by "his highnesses" completely unobjective car testing that it's meaningless.

Top Gear, great entertainment, rubbish Motor Journalism. None of them can drive for toffee and a lot of their "comparisons" over the years have been blatently rigged to ensure that a) The car always wins and b) German cars always win.


Fifth Gear isn't nearly as entertaining and none of the presenters have the charisma of the TG presenters, however it does at least have contributors that are qualified from a driving perspective. So as a program for actually giving a (reasonably) objective view of a cars performance etc it's leagues ahead of TG.

Thats not what Top Gear is about anymore, of course its a rubbish motor journalism program, its not trying to be a good one.

Perhaps though, this is the wrong direction for them to head.

who are these 9 people who said they like fift gear more, fift gear is about showing new cars, top gear is showing new cars AND entertament

Well I quite like 5th gear too. 3 years ago I was watching fifth gear a lot. Nowadays I discovered Top Gear, it's good too but I like the driving style in 5th gear

LOL, they probably mis-clicked. If they really picked fifth Gear over Top Gear, then God help them.

Yeah. We can see the results for ourselves

I knew I had a moment

Im more of a Jason And Vicki Butler-Henderson fan.

I Like Fifth gear better, More mature.

But Top gears still amazing.

I agree.

Anyway, why are you all so mad on us Fifth Gear watchers? It's a poll so we can vote too. I can also say "OMG LULZ ROFFFFL WHY R DEY TOP GEAR FANZ LOOLLL"... everyone has got different interests.

Can I vote for the old TG format?

Without studio audience and fake Apples vs oranges competitions.

That's pretty much what 5th Gear is. Personally if I want real advice on the kinds of cars I will be buying I won't watch a TV show, I will do the research myself. So it's all about entertainment for me, and Top Gear wins hands down. I do quite like Vicky though.
