Top Gear Aust axed!!!

[goodfella]

Well it was only a matter of time before the inevitable happened,

Top Gear Australia axed from Channel 9

I feel a love / hate poll coming on

[Buller_Scott]

meh, it was okay to watch as a time-waster until the uk top gear came on.

it was pretty tiresome viewing, though, the way that the presenters had to (under pain of celebrity death, apparently) insult one another each and every time they addressed each other... i've never heard the words biscuit / pretzel / pineapple / monkey / wombat / other foodstuffs & animals so many times in such a short period of time.

i dont think it's any great loss.

HOORAY!!!

Finally this international embarrassment is dead. Watched one episode and that was more than enough for me. They tried to be exactly like the UK version but failed, no humor, wooden delivery, challenges were pointless, etc etc.

^ x2, the difference with the US Top Gear actually being a success is that they have not tried to emulate the UK Top Gear like the Australian one did, the US version makes for an enjoyable program that is different when compared to the UK while the aus one was just disappointing

Whilst I've watched all the Australian Top Gear episodes, I can't say that I'm surprised, or upset over this.
I'm glad we've got UK and US Top Gear

FINALLY!!! it was getting painfull to watch

[Blitzen]

YES!! I would rather watch 8 year old re runs of Top Gear UK then the puss that is Top Gear Oz!!

about time

Top Gear America is actually very good. the Alaskan wilderness 4x4 challenge was a great episode. Plus the guys are a pretty good mix.

While it's a shame it didn't work and we've lost a 'motoring' program from free TV, it was inevitable because it was ****e and just plain embarrassing for everyone involved.
