Remakes Can't Be Exact

I'm watching the US Top Gear and while I watch the episode I can't help but have an argument in my head. "Why can't the US version be more like the UK version." This kept popping in my head. The one thing I have to remember and everyone else needs to realize. If you make the show and it is an exact reproduction of the original then you might as well just save your money and bring over the original. But on the other hand if you shoot a show and it is a reproduction by name only for example you take NBC's "Community" a sitcom about people at community college and change it to a drama about a community center, well you might as well change the name of the show. The point is that you have to find this balance of original to the reproduction. I hear people complain that the US Top Gear is terrible and that they should quit and stuff like that but people don't realize that if you want the UK Top Gear then watch it on BBC America when the show airs. The way I look at it is if you are a major gear head that loves car this could be the best way to watch the best car show just about year round.
