Let's face it, the TG trio is getting old (age-wise). I think 6 shows in a season just goes to show that they may not be around for much longer or at least the gap in between seasons is going to be much longer.
In the meantime, TG America is starting to grow on me. Say what you want about the cast, but I feel they are slowly forming their own unique chemistry. Coupled with the fact that almost all of their one hour shows are filmed much like the TG UK specials, it's a great side distractions while we wait (im)patiently for the likes of Jeremy, James and Richard to return.

TG in its current format hasn't been around 20 years. The way they count seasons is the 10 episodes they do in the fall is one season, then the 10 episodes they do in the spring is the next season(or series as the Brits call it).
The humor has gotten a bit stale though. Still the best part of that show that always keeps me coming back for more is the super-car coverage. I wouldn't know what the heck a Pagani Zonda is if it weren't for that show.

glad its back on. The last season was a disappointment . It was only 5-6 episodes and only 2-3 were any good. I loved the episode with the LFA, Viper, and Vanquish. It was epic but the season left me wanting more.

Considering that anyone who has watched all of TG UK knows that the US version is simply recreating the challenges, it's hard to screw up copying something that was successful to the same audience already. Other than the fact I can't stand the US version hosts....... it's the right recipe.

internally they probably have been approved the whole season already
if I was any of them 3, i would enjoy my job immensely despite of those special trips to the middle East, Arctic, South America, Africa in grueling conditions

It's been more or less the general format by the time the 12th or 13th season came around. The one thing TG UK has going other TGs haven't got is the way the Jeremy, James and Richard come up with commentary that is original and refreshing. I think the fact that each of them has a journalism and reporting background has a lot to do with it. When you look at Tanner, Adam or Rut interviews a celebrity in their 'Big stars small car" segment, I always found the conversation between the participants to be a bit forced and thus awkward, especially in earlier seasons.
But in all honesty, I do enjoy the US specials more than I do the Uk specials. I don't know why; maybe it's because they do more of it, or maybe it's because the hosts always play the 'ignorant American' card.

I can't wait for the new season of TG UK, nothing like the original...and I like that they are getting older, it's kinda turning into Grumpier Old Men, LOL
I do have to say that the US version is growing on me, I just wish that Adam and Rutledge were better drivers...that is what I am liking about now having 5th Gear to watch, 3 of the 4 are professional drivers...

TG UK really could use a fourth female host.
I still remember a few years back that Richard Hammond was practically begging Angelina Jolie to come on the show and be a host. There were more than a few skits about that. I think it'd be neat.
