Why do todays "shows" include a JackAss!?!

Some over caloried, bald headed, gotieed, buffoon. And a "bling" oriented city boy that gets a nose bleed over 65MPH.....

Just like Whips and other stories about jackasses, this one will hopefully live a short life as well

It beats the hell outta the USA Top Gear.

I don't mind Dan Neal... he is ok. Adam is fine... I am not so sure about the other two.

I like Corolla (not the Toyota kind) but he's trying way too hard to be the smartass car guy (too many "it's not about the cars it's about the chicks" comments). I wanted to like it but gave up after two episodes. Maybe if it weren't trying to be Top Gear it would be better. My rating is C-. Unless you guys tell me otherwise after some more episodes I won't waste my small amount of TV time watching.

I do like the old guy, he seems to know what he's talking about even though they're painting him to be the "square" of the group.

My rating on the show is it Absolutely Sucks .

Every bit as bad as TopGear.

It's too bad they ran the "Lemons" race at the Reno track in the first episode, I would have loved to been there (just to give them my opinion).

I agree 100%.

The Car Show is almost worse than watching that bald headed loser RC flagging cars off with an arm drop.....

I don't know how a douche like Adam Carolla even gets a TV show about cars.... No surprise that the show sucks. Dude dosen't know his ass from a hole in the ground.

Speed TV needs to get their heads out of their asses. The NASCAR train wreck is full steam ahead and this crappy programming they are spending millions on to fill the gaps between Wind Tunnel and Speed Center is going to bite them in the rear when there is no more NASCAR to report on.....

Anyway back to yet another sucky TV show about all manner cars from someone who's never raced or wrenched on anything more than his vintage racer, Datsun roadster that he bought with all that TV money.

I'd sooner watch The View.

Yea, really, Will.

This stuff is pathetic, including Topgear and the really horrible Supercars show.

The stagged stuff makes me want to puke.

Unfortunately the masses love it.

There are a few good shows, mostly on HDT like Chasing Classic cars (no B/S). And very few others.

It's amazing that Speed has anything left. I'm waiting for them to replace F1 races with Nascar Bathrooms.

I don't watch shows I don't watch.

Always thought your were a smart guy..........sorta.

A profound, yet bold statement.

Tommy once again sums it up......

The only shows I really watch on speed is any ALMS race, occasionally Pass Time and Chasing Classic Cars. The big auto auctions too.

The 2nd season of Top Gear America is better so far. I can see the chemistry between the 3 hosts improved a lot. I actually laughed and enjoyed watching...where as last season it was rather painful. It should continue to improve. Keep in mind it's the same creative team as the original Top Gear, and they wouldn't let it continue to suck.

The Car Show. Yeah, it's horrible. It seems too much like a game show at this point. I just don't like the structure.

I like Chasing Classic cars too, it's a good show. Some really cool barn finds too.

I gave up on Adam, he's an ass.

I have watched a couple episodes of USA Top gear. I laughed at some of the stupid shit they've done. Hauling manure in a Miata was too much.

I don't get Speed, but I was in a restaurant the other night when the Corolla show was on, it did not impress me. I haven't turned on the new Top Gear, so I don't miss that. But Jeff is right, they do some stupid sh!t.

After rereading everyone's comments I think we've stumbled on the answer.
Now that america's been dumbed down, the only thing left is "dumb".

Thats why JackAss and Jerry Springer is so popular!

I believe you're right Coach.

It's been getting worse for quite a while. Just channel surf your cable thru the MTV type channels, the "Who's Humping Who?" reality shows,etc.

tonites lineup on Speed include;

dumbest stuff on wheels
my ride rules
the car show

With a lineup like that, I think I'll go water the grass.

With the exception of Wind Tunnel, you guys have surpassed VH1 in stupid shows.
I thought whips was ridiculous......
Your right down there with Jerry Springer & CSPAN now.
