Of course it isn't as funny yet. It's the first season, Top Gear's first season SUCKED. Even the second season was just ok

I still haven't seen the original Top Gear past the first season. I need to catch up.

I hope that's true. I hope the find their own identity, cause if they just try to copy Jeremy, James, and Richard, the show will fail.

You haven't even watched any real Top Gear!! The first season is the only season not worth watching lol. They don't even have James May yet

EDIT:

Just watched it

All that being said, Tanner Foust has the personality of a wet paper bag. I'm not exactly sure how drifting qualifies you as a "world class driver" either. I thought it was painfully obvious that Clarkson and the boys were way better drivers than Foust. Again, this could be mostly due to better cinematography as well.

I for one will be giving it an honest chance

That is one MASSIVE understatement

But I agree with you, I thought it was worth watching, and I will continue to watch it. I have a feeling it's just gonna get better and better as they find their own personalities and settle into the rhythm of the show.
