A lot of crappy American shows are birthed in British roots.  Creative Lazy Hollywood exec's figure that if it did well with the limeys across the pond they can make an American version that will do amazingly well.  Shows such as The Office, American Idol, and Dancing With the Stars all came from the Brits.  WHY THE HELL ISN'T THERE AN AMERICAN TOP GEAR!?!?  I love watching Top Gear and a US version would be epic.  A pilot was shot some years back featuring Adam Carolla but never came to light.

Enough with my limey ramblings.  Top Gear is a bad ass show and they take a new twist on the biathlon by using SUV's and MP5's versus skiis and .22's.  Enjoy :)
