Grand Tour is on Amazon. If you have a Roku there is a live TV channel on their live TV guide that is just old Top Gear. There are some of the new cast mixed in, and they don't show all of the old episodes but there are still some good ones.

Also, Clarkson's Farm on Amazon is worth a watch if you like the Grand Tour type of humor. I didn't think season 4 was quite as good as it seemed to focus a bit too much on his efforts to open a pub but still had some great moments.

His downfall was his tendency to punch out co-workers. Seriously.

The irony of your situation was in the early days American TV did not show entire episodes, cutting out the more British-centric parts thinking Americans wouldn't get those jokes. You could have seen entire episodes, while Americans could not.

I heard part of a podcast somewhere where the guest or someone had also worked with the same producer that Clarkson punched (which ultimately lead to his firing). This person said that the producer is a GIANT douchebag and he was not surprised it happened. Apparently, there is more to the story than we know. Rumors I have heard was that the producer said something off hand about Clarkson's mom who had very recently passed. It was more than the public story of it was over the lack of a meal. Not saying it was the right thing to do, but the more I hear about it, the more I understand.

Thanks for the extra context. I will add one more thing, though -- that was apparently not the only time Clarkson got physical with coworkers.

It was Oisin Tymon, wasn’t it? I always thought it was kind of telling that a lot of the other producers (especially Andy Wilman of course) followed them to Amazon. Hell even Tymon says he doesn’t think termination was necessary.

I’ve not seen it yet, but I’ve seen enough headlines/commentary to know I don’t think I could take him in this show. At least top gear was about cars instead of whining about how the government rips him off

The main things I remember from that episode are James crashing his car less than like 100 yards from where they start. And that absolutely insane thing that Clarkson drives. And putting chandeliers on it

I nearly pissed myself when clarkson was so fat he can’t get out of the race car
Like him or hate him, he’s amazing on this show

Hammond really tears into him there. Horrific things to say that would usually make you cringe without context, but having a feel for their dynamic it’s just funny as hell.
Clarkson: “Obesity is a disease, you know.”
Hammond: “Yes but it’s a big, fat disease isn’t it.”

Ok so even though I haven't watch pro wrastling since the mid-90's I still decided to watch the WWE Unreal series on Netflix because I still think it's a compelling subject.
Ep 5 starts with newly turned heel Cena giving a speech to the crowd in Belgium.
Now I'm obviously not the target market and that story line may have worked for the majority of the fans, but my God that opening speech as a bad guy was so cringy and unconvincing I don't know if it says more about his acting or the decision to turn the character in the first place.
btw the ladies champion something Sky is quite the cutie.

The scene I referred to was actual footage from a WWE event so not sure what you're talking about. Of course it's all fake/scripted.

I wasn't referring though to Unreal at all, but one moment from an actual WWE production that had nothing to do with the scripting of the Unreal series. So you're completely missing my point.
Anyway - Chief Of War with Jason Mamoa. For all the right reasons through 2 eps it's like a Polynesian Shogun. Love it so far.

Of course Temuera Morrison is involved too. Pretty much mandatory!
