So, my guesses (no knowledge of actual photos/events & no internet research performed). #1 - Clarkson when writing for a newspaper or magazine prior to his original stint on the factual very first version of TG. #2 - Hammond in his prior life as a radio DJ/wanna be rock star. #3 - May on his 25th birthday. Because we all know that at 25 years & 1 day he became the 75 year old man he is today. https://imgur.com/gallery/jUXLkDI

It's definitely under streaming, the last 5 seasons are available.

I tried watching TG USA last night for the first time, even skipped to season 4. I just couldn't get into it. Tanner's ok, even if no personality. The fat guy was...tolerable and even funny sometimes. Adam, I hated Adam. I tried two episodes, one they even went to Dirtfish Rally School. The other was a car build for the apocalypse, a Toyota Camry. Probably done unless I get really bored on a rainy Sunday.

(And I wanted to like it, not be the cool kids saying how much it sucks because not BBC, etc.)

Huh, okay I'll look again but I only see seasons 1-18 listed, with the last season being 2013.

Rant: After more than 10 years I still marvel at how poor Netflix's UI is. If you have both disc and streaming, their search function doesn't check both; it only checks the "side" of their site that you happen to be on. Also, a few times I've rented a disc only to realize I'd rented it years earlier. How hard is it to put at the top, "You last rented this on xx/xx/xx?"

And git off my grass!

In reply to Jerry:

Oddly enough, my ex's favorite USTG host was Adam - because he wears is NY roots proudly. Hated Rutledge because she categorically hates anyone with a Southern accent. Had no opinion about Tanner.

For those who hate USTG, I fear for what the "new" TG will be since it really appears like they are following a similar formula with an "expert" (Evans : Wood), a "racer" (Tanner : Sabine), and a bit of a "loon character" (Adam : Joey). Then with all the other guys (who I don't remember) and the Stig. While Clarkson, Hammond and May might have started out with character types, after a few years their roles began to overlap a lot to the point where they were almost interchangeable for a given skit.

That said, it seems like USTG has evolved into a completely different show, dropping pretty much all of the studio stuff the UK show does and only doing challenges (at least from what I've seen from online re-runs). My guess this is due to a lower production budget.

Unfortunately, I will probably miss the new episode as I'll be travelling on the 26th, but maybe I'll try to get back to in time. Personally, I generally enjoy watching it and look forward to seeing a new season.

On a bluray player connected to a TV. However I don't even get that far because I can't locate the show in order to +My List. Oh well, I'll figure it out eventually.

Maybe that's the issue... I can't find the show in Netflix's website in order to add it to my show list. I haven't tried going straight to "Netflix" through the Bluray player. If that works, Netflix loses another few points if their own website doesn't list shows that instead only appear on the Bluray player's app... Anyhow, enough of the thread-jack, I just thought this might help people if they can't find the show.

Delta also has it on international flights. I laughed so hard at the Jeep Xj vs the other two SUVs that other passengers were staring at me. That was, IMHO, one of the best tests/challenges they EVER did.

Finally saw it. I LOL'd when Capt. Slow slipped in the mud getting out of his SUV.
