Out of sheer curiosity, we watched the American version of Top Gear (“Blind Drift”). It was charmless, humorless, and blandly delivered by the hosts. Two of the three hosts have no personality (the third spoke like a New Yorker, which counts for personality, I guess). It was like watching a generic documentary except boring. It misses the passion, charm, and personal investment of the original British version.

America, stop remaking and start making, you low-standard, uncreative has-been of an arts-and-entertainment-producing country.
