The Amercian versions were not even close - don't buy into his trolling. The "new" version of Top Gear is (or was - I don't know if they're making anymore) completely unwatchable.
Canadian television in the seventies and eighties was full of great British comedies. Now its all generic American reality crap, and Canadian versions of generic American reality crap.
Even the BBC is a shitty rip-off of TLC & A&E most of the time. Except for a few shows - like Spooks, and Top Gear. And Gordon Ramsay is less of whingy little bitch on the BBC. Totally different guy on Fox.
Watching poor Richard Hammond hosting Total Wipeout is sad, though. I hope they paid him a lot.
