What show are you watching right now?

There were a million ways for this to have been fucked, and it wasn't.

Unlike new Top Gear which found most of those ways to be fucked and was.

Finally got around to watching Westworld this week. It's heavy sci-fi so there are bound to be some holes in the story, but overall I was very impressed.

I wasn't impressed with their use of Anthony Hopkins, the writers basically had him just smiling cryptically all season, to build suspense, but a real solid first season nonetheless. I just worry going forward, for much the same reason that California is worried.

I think I watched half an episode of it. The british hosts' sense of humor is just irreplaceable. I have no idea wtf they were thinking, trying to replace that with a D-list actor.

Its not "fiction" and therefore incomparable.

Still doesn't mean they are the same show, therefore your point is irrelevant.

Have you seen it?

Its the same show. Top Gear lived through Clarkson, Hammond, and May, not its production crew.

New Top Gear, American Top Gear, and Australian Top Gear all gave me AIDS

That's like trying to pretend that Cheap Seats and The Jordan Breen Show were the same MMA radio show, they weren't, super similar doesn't equal the same show. If there had been a network change on top of it, then they would be even less the same show. I mean when Greg Savage wasn't there for Cheap Seats, it was kind of like The Jordan Breen Show, but technically wasn't, even when they played the old theme music in the intro. I see no reason two pretend two different things are the same thing just because of striking similarities.

A host left, that means the show changed whether its on the same network or not

The only reason The Grand Tour isn't called Top Gear is because they don't own the rights to it. It is literally the same show

If they don't have the rights to it, it isn't the same show, by definition. Give each show credit on it's own merits, no need to pretend they are the same thing, just because they are really similar.
