Top Gear -- Cancelled!
The awesome show Top Gear is not continuing in the US market for next season. Last week's episode was the last one. If you want, you can fill out a quick program request at BBC America's website. (link below)

Top Gear is actually a British show on BBC, but was re-published for the American market by Discovery Channel. Since BBC is not available in the US (except the BBC-America version), this is the most likely way to get the show back on the air. Please take a moment to visit the BBC-A site.
If anyone has any other recommendations (petition or something), please post them here.

Same here. It was one of my favorites. Please spread the word (to other forums, sites, etc.) The show still exists.. we just need to convince them to keep bringing it to the US market. Personally, I don't think there's any need for them to re-produce/re-format it for us like they did. I would be happy with the regular UK version.

I'm glade it got canned, and I love Top Gear. The problem is the American edited version of Top Gear is butchered. They don't give you the full story. Any negative comments about a car are removed because the Discovery channel doesn't want to offend anyone (any sponsors).
I want Top Gear, but not that edited crappy Top Gear. I want the real Top Gear and I requested it on the BBC America site
