First Top Gear live tweet

Season 17 Episode 1
My first time ever live tweeting while watching a show was in class. We watched studio 60 on the sunset strip. I had to really pay attention to the show so I would not miss anything. My second experience was much different. Since I have watched every episode of Top Gear I know the episode. I have watched seasons 17 through 21 over and over again, I would be watching other season but they are not available on Netflix anymore. I was able to watch the episode and then go back and scroll through the show and tweet about something in the episode. Tweets I made were moments in the show I had an instant reaction.






The first tweet I made was from the opening sequence of the show.

That intro is so iconic ‪#topgear

I think this tweet is House talk. I am talking about the intro song that has been used for 21 series. The opening sequence of short video clips is made up of some of the best moments from past seasons.

Wow what a boring mg ‪#topgear

This was another tweet I made about the show. I believe it is Scandal talk. I am criticizing a car being talked about on the show. The presenters also made comments that the car is one of the blandest car to come from the company.

‪#rallyracing‪ is the hardest racing out there #topgear

Rally racing is very hard to master. One of the presenters made comments that he could drive in a rally race but he would let man driving the car learn from his advice. I believe this I a form of Bitching talk. I am saying the presenter has no idea what he is talking about and he needs to learn from the driver.

i love the smell of ‪#tiresmoke ‪#topgear

I am making a self-disclosure about myself. This is Chatting talk. I am admitting something I can relate to the show in a personal way and am able to connect to the show on a simplistic level.

How it all started

Top Gear, ambitious but rubbish. 

These three words should never describe a successful, factual, TV show.  Top Gear was started out of want for a motoring show reflecting automakers from a third party perspective.  The show began in 1977.  It was broadcast and produced by BBC.  It was originally aired only in Britain.  The show reflected broadcasters and writers opinions on new car models, gas millage, safety, and many more aspects consumers wanted to know about new and second hand vehicles.  The show ran consecutively on a monthly basis.  The show was very popular the first year it ran it was taken to a weekly program.  After many different presents and many years of being one of the most watched show on BBC the producers decided the show needed a revamp.  In 2002 the show was re-launched with what is know seen world wide as the most watched factual TV program world wide.

Despite being called a poke motoring show it is said that the show brings in revenue of 40 million pounds plus each year for the BBC.  The show creates revenue from both the show and merchandise.  The show is still run on BBC despite all the presenters either being fired or leaving the program this past year. 

The show will never be the same without the man known as a giant ape making remarks that are seen as controversial known as Jeremy ClarksonJeremy Clarkson’s 10 worst gaffes. He was seen as the face of the show.
