if so, how do you watch it? any way besides torrents? the only episodes i've seen were on youtube because my friend told me about it. It is a pretty funny show, even though the host is biased against american cars. He gives credit where credit is due though

I love Top Gear! It's on BBC america.. They did one the other day with 3 american muscle car, vette, cadillac, and challenger on the salt flats. They didn't have anything bad to say about em, either!

I've seen Jeremy Clarkson elsewhere on BBC TV. It's an understatement that he is biased against anything American. I have seen pieces of a couple shows here and there, but I generally don't watch TV. You tend to get better writing and wit with british shows (not all of them -- there is plenty of garbage there as there is here); Black Adder for instance. And if you haven't watched QI, give it a try.

I love that show. The dry humor cracks me up. My wife doesn't get it, but I try to watch it whenever its on.. unless its a rerun I have already seen.
Something I will add, and I think is the best game parody short EVER!! These guys did a Top Gear parody for battlefield 2 when it came out.

I can't belive you haven't mentioned Red Dwarf....
And if you want Top Gear, look here, you can sometimes find it here:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/search/?q=Top%20Gear
And once this site gets Dave (the UK channel that has Top gear on most of the time), you should be able to watch it at:

I watched that parody using BF2 that Devilman gave the link to and when he goes "unlike those smooth bore American tanks that just shoot at something... over there." and I figured out what you meant. It was pretty funny though.

Red Dwarf is another great show, although its humour changed to be a little more puerile in the last two seasons. I just consider Black Adder to be a great example of british wit in TV.
