I'm so pleased you like the gift. I wasn't sure if you would think TV was a dumb gift for such busy people. If you get a chance, watch Damages. You will fall in love with that too.
Top Gear has this amazing effect--you want to tell everyone about what hilarious stunt you saw last night. Like the time they drop a VW beetle from a mile in the sky from a helicopter and have it race a super car going a mile on the ground. And then you try to tell people, and it's never as funny as actually watching it. I realized this after Tyler introduced the show to my family, and they started telling us about every episode they saw. It wasn't that funny, so I told my friend about the less-funny phenomenon, but she had never seen it, so I started telling her about all the hysterical gags. It's a vicious cycle. Also, the Stig is my cousin.
I'm hoping that Hugh Laurie makes his way onto the show after House ends. Which would only make it that much snobbier.
ReplyDeleteI love it! Scott and I watch this together as well. We're currently in 2004.

ReplyDeleteWe love Top Gear! I was trying to explain to someone why one of my favorite shows is a British car show and I'm pretty sure I came across as crazy.
