based on that picture alone, it looks like a show based out of their garage filmed on a lazy weekend afternoon. whats the point of having fancy cars as the backdrop when your hosts look like they just finished doing saturday chores? at the very least, give them something else to sit on other than metal folding chairs.

Damn, I would have loved to see Tim Allen with these cars. lol

I won't pass judgement on one pic alone. When is this show supposed to start airing?

Probably because most Americans wouldn't care to tame the onslaught of British slang. That and their steering wheels are on the wrong damn side! ;)

That and it would be nice to have a show relavent to our country. We have different roads, cars, and considerations which influence the types of vehicles and events to cover.

I tried to watch 2 episodes of the UK Office and I've never watched a comedy and not laugh at least once. The dialogue is long and boring, looks like it was shot with a VHS camera, and the actors are ugly (that might just typical British).

Those three look like they could just as easily been in the cast of Dukes of Hazzard.

Eric Stromer:

Eric Stromer, host of the HGTV show "Over Your Head," started life in construction and remodeling houses after a short acting career as a soap opera hunk was abruptly ended by a Styrofoam boulder on the set of "Santa Barbara." For 20 years he ran a successful building company before becoming the face of HGTV's hit show. He's a regular on Adam Carolla's nationally-syndicated radio show giving out construction advice, and also appears on TLC's "Clean Sweep," NBC's "Three Wishes" and is a special correspondent for "The Insider." Stromer prefers his Camry hybrid

wtf?

they did. it was on discovery for about 4 episodes before they canned it. they cut out most of the studio parts, remixed the sound so you could barely hear jeremy talking under the music when testing a car, and cut to commercials in the middle of a car review/stunt. it was horrible.
