So I'm sure plenty of us have seen the premier by now. Thoughts?

My feeling was it's way more polished now... I kind of miss the improv of Top Gear, but I'm glad to have them back! Excellent show.

I kind of half watched it while at work and loved it. I'm going to give it my full attention tonight though. This show is the only reason I have a amazon prime account.

I have seen some of the preview stuff on YouTube, but have not seen the show yet. I think my wife has Amazon prime, I'll hafta check it out. We (the whole family) loved Top Gear, I hope The Grand Tour can live up.

Being a military guy the "Air Force" part was funny as hell. After one episode I'm loving it.

the jab at VW was pretty funny.

and the many reference to the old show were very good.

You can tell that Amazon put alot of money into that show.

Daughter and I watched it last night. Good stuff. A little slick here and there (lots of money!), and it seems they are off their groove just a little, but still good overall. Can't wait for more!

So it has the same three guys on the new show? I like top gear for the most part, The big guy on it was a douche but the other two were cool.

the big guy (Clarkson) was fired from BBC after, from memories, hitting the producer. The other two (May and Hammond) followed him to Amazon to start the same show, under another production.

BBC decided to keep the show alive with a new crew, and i believe it failed big time.

Amazon has a TV and movie channel. I watched it by streaming it through my Samsung smart TV thingamabob. My wife has Amazon Prime so we can watch some things on there for free. Other things require a fee or subscription or something.

If you want to watch it when it releases you must have amazon prime. But because we live in a technology world many MANY people have download the full episode to YouTube. Just search for it there if you don't have prime. Just be warned that most of them have funny sound (voices) to bypass copyright laws.

Thanks, I'll give YouTube a shot. When I go it Amazon.com and click the link my iPad says not compatible or something along those lines.

You can't just be an Amazon member. You must be an Amazon Prime member. If you are a Prime member you must download the "Amazon Video" app to watch it, and any other shows on iPhone or iPad.

You know, its one of the only show left that i'm counting days until a new one is available...

Walking Dead? Meh, this season is slow so far. I know it will pick up, but it kind of leaving me and my wife not really looking forward to next show

Big Bang Theory? Meh again. It's slowly loosing speed imho.

I enjoyed it. Yes, they put a fair chunk of change into it, so I'm glad they didn't cheap out. It may take a while to hit its stride, but it's very watchable even now.

It still has my interest. I enjoy Mike Skinner bad mouthing the cars as he's flogging them around the track.

I also find it funny that each week so far the celebrity guest has been killed. I truly hope they continue that through the entire season.
