    +1, I wish their concept segments did more with cars I'm interested in, less with $500-1000 "challenge" vehicles: buy 3 old POS's and have them do something "entertaining". Rather: get a contemporary car or two and pit them against one another, lap times on a track, something.

    The chemistry with the hosts has gotten better, now it's just the content that could stand some tuning.

    Ah yes, the back-from-break "recap"...that carryover from days when folks viewed live broadcasts, and may have just channel-surfed over during commercial break from another show. Annoying when DVR-ing, for sure.

    While we're at it: local news programs. News, weather, sports. Used to be presented in segments. Now: all intermixed, with each talking head "teasing" throughout the 30-minute show what they'll actually tell us, when they get around to it, just "stay tuned". My fingers itch for throats everytime.

    Yeah, chemistry is getting better, but I'm tired of the dumbed down content.....

    This show still looks like the elementary school version of the real thing. Last show had double decker car racing just like the real show has done. Maybe they need some writers.
