"Top Gear" was hosted by Jeremy and his two partners, and it deservedly became the world's best car show, and there is no one. The highlights can be summarized as follows:
1. The three hosts headed by Jeremy have a humorous style and exaggerated and spicy comments. It is commonplace to make fun of each other, and the words contain cynicism on current affairs. They were nicknamed "Gorilla", "Captain Turtle Speed" and "Dwarf". In addition to car reviews, they either "fired outside" or attacked each other. While they enjoyed it, they also brought countless jokes to the audience. (Of course it also brings them some trouble).
2. The program despised the formulaic evaluation process of mainstream automotive media. With strong subjective colors and exaggerated and rich expressions, the program gave the audience an immersive, sensory enjoyment as if they were sitting in the cockpit and holding the steering wheel. They will also evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the car and the practicality of the design, but this is not the point; around the driving pleasure that the vehicle brings to the driver, they use the extremely rich expressions and the authentic London accent to bring the audience together. Pulled into the cockpit, feel the passion and fun brought by the car together. This can not help but make people sigh that the hosts of those domestic so-called well-done car shows are either flat and straightforward like chanting, or they are screaming insensibly. The difference in host skills is too far.
3. The audience only knows that this program is big-handed, big-produced, and unconventional, but they will never be able to guess the endless odd tricks. For the needs of the show, it is commonplace to modify cars. Sometimes they simply make one or two weird vehicles by themselves; the vehicles "ruined" by them are far from being limited to mainstream mass-produced cars, including trucks, RVs, antique cars, etc. ; Driving PK motorcycles, airplanes, helicopters, flying trapeze, etc., that is not surprising.
The "Top Gear" of the three-cheer version is wonderful, humorous, and does not guard against barriers. It has made a car show to the extreme, and even broke through the category of cars, which coincides with the needs of passionate car fans all over the world. Now, they have moved from BBC's "Top Gear" to Amazon's "The Grand Tour", leaving some, and taking some away, making the two shows seem to be evenly divided. Actually?
"Top Gear" ushered in a group of new hosts, who also have rich experience and unique insights in the automotive field, but because they seem to imitate the predecessor in the host style, they have been criticized by some critics.
What about "The Grand Tour"? The soul of "Top Gear" has found a new body. The three hosts tried hard to maintain and carry forward the original hosting style, and to abandon the program structure. However, it is also obvious that their humor and innovation have been a little bit weak in the face of the audience's appetite that was raised by the previous show.
In fact, the separation of the old program is not a win-win move, but a loss of the vitality of both parties. This can be clearly observed from the live reactions of the audiences of the two programs. The original innovation in the program mode of "Top Gear" has now become a cliché in the two programs, and a considerable part of the audience is tired of this.
"We have two great car shows to watch, yes, but we eventually lost the best "Top Gear"," I concluded. Or maybe these two programs, one is just starting up, and the other is being reformed, and they are not in the best condition. As a car lover and a loyal fan of the show, I sincerely hope that the two shows will get better.
