Has anyone else really started to appreciate everything these three make (other than that godawful thing with Tori Belleci in it)?

Here's three men, two in their 60s, the other in his 50s but with everlasting brain damage, doing the same thing they did nearly 20 years ago, and at the same intensity. They should be retired long ago, long before 2016 in fact, living out the rest of their days sipping tea quietly on some deserted country estate with the occasional media/panel show appearance. But instead continue to go out, risk their lives for stuff men at their age shouldn't be doing, and even though TG(T) isn't their main obligation any more, they still provide us with more than 12 hours of quality entertainment each year from their many side projects.

Other than complete dross like the India Special, Wilman et. al really know how to reel in their men and just deliver non-stop kino in a manner that no other showrunners have been able to do without cracking under the pressure.

Agree for the most part except I can never get in to any of James May's solo stuff. He's dreadfully boring without his friends reeling him in or bantering off him. I genuinely have no idea how his handlers dropped the ball so hard with his Japan show because he somehow made Japan seem boring and stupid while seemingly trying to mispronounce everything he possibly could.

Clarkson's Farm was an absolutely great surprise though. I genuinely didn't expect it to be so good, but Clarkson has a surprisingly good sense of when to make the focus of any segment to not revolve around himself. He riffed off the other people working around his farm well enough and had a surprising amount of self-deprecatory footage, far more than I expected based on the classic Top Gear series or the Grand Tour specials.

James May Man in Japan wasn't that bad. It gave us some good bits with the Robohon scene where it calls him Bim, causing James to laugh his signature goose laugh in the middle of a tourist shrine. The other stuff was pretty bad though like the comedy routine thing, the boy band concert, and artist training segments. The Hokkaido snowball match was also a bit cringe.

 
The fifth season is airing now in a serialized fashion. It's good to have the trio back. Someone edit this screenshot of Jeremy but with a WW2 German soldier suit.

Wasn't there another special coming next week? Also didn't they say they'll limit the show to roadtrips?
Anyways I'm "obtaining" this shit asap and still waiting to Clarkson farming simulator.

I hope there is. I guess I was wrong in assuming season 5 will be like the earlier seasons. Maybe it is just a one off.

It is heresy but I never had a lot of interests in the car reviewing or guest stars. The road trips and challenges were always the best parts for the excellent chemistry between the hosts, the locales and the barely functioning cars.

Which reminds me, considering how convoluted and anti consumer cars been the last decade, this format of buying an old car and driving them across a country will never fly.
 
URBANISM IS SATANIC

KILL ALL URBANISTS
If you ever wanted to visit where the magic happened for over a decade, you've got about a year left to do so. 2 years tops.

We knew this was happening for about a decade, but it's still very sad news nonetheless.
