Top Gear USA Picked Up for Second Season Jalopnik confirms return of Ferrara, Foust, and Wood Posted by Joshua Condon Thursday, February 10, 2011 3:58:17 PM Yep, they're all coming back -- Tanner Foust even left Formula Drift to tape season two. Reviews were, well, mixed (and seemingly more on the negative side), but the History Channel on which the show airs ain't NBC, and it certainly doesn't need NBC ratings. The 60 million total viewers that tuned in for the first 10 episodes were enough to bring the show back for round two. And, say what you want about season one, but almost nothing is perfect out of the gate -- including the original BBC version of Top Gear. So it's nice to see the lads get a chance to expand and improve the show.
I don't see them being picked up for another reason as a surprise. Lots worse carp out there being broadcast. For me I found it entertaining. Did I just stick up for them? :crazy:
