It's impossible to argue with Raza. He wins. Period. End of discussion.

Agreed. I can only repeat watch episodes of TG so many times before they basically become background noise.

Nothing like mocking your old show to build the new one.

I'd give it a B+. I was quite tingly at first, but there was a little too much time on the 3 X £1M hypercars, and the three dead celebs thing did not quite work, one was funny: two & three was laboring it.  But I'll watch it next week.

Haven't watched it yet, just saw it show up on my "recommended" list on my FireTV last night after I was getting ready to hit the sack (after watching some college basketball). I queued it up to watch either tonight or this weekend some time. I noticed its available in "UHD" so I am planning to watch it on my 4k TV.  :lol:

Agreed on these points. The dead celebs was dumb. I wanted to see more about the three Mustangs from the intro.
