IDK why, but this show cracks me up. I'm not exactly sure why America has to try and 'Americanize' some of the better British TV shows in our world. They already ruined Top Gear UK with Top Gear US. I still watch the British Top Gear, way better, way funnier, the have a good looking guy on it(Hammond, dark brown haired guy)
