Top Gear USA?
You have got to be kidding me. America has no business in the affairs of good television especially that ripped off from the UK. Now I am American, happy to be, but Hollywood has done nothing but ruin great UK shows. What makes them great? Lack of Hollywood asshats that think they know what I want to watch.

I would seriously be more then happy if ever given the chance to sit in on some of these morons when they try to recreate what is based on personalities and characters of the original?

How would Gilligan's Island come off as a redo? Green Acres? The Brady Bunch?
All lame.

Hollywood stop trying to make a buck off someone else and come up with your own ideas. You embarrass me.

Now Leno thankfully tells them to get stuffed.

America's Got Talent is a rip off of another show?

How ironic is that?

It wasn't America's got talent then, it was Brittan's got talent. But yes very Ironic. Should have been called, America's got no talent so we stole this from someone else because it was proven to be successful and has nothing to do with talent?

If you consider the endless volumes of books/stories written and the endless hours of tv generated, it's not likely anybody is coming up with a new story line anytime soon.

The only thing creative is the twist applied.

Sometimes they don't even bother with that.
