Support NeoGAF

[Beefy]

Maybe they are talking to a few companies? Weren't they talking to ITV the other week?

 

[m23]

Man I really hope they choose Netflix over ITV. If they do I'd rather them release a new episode every week than in one big batch though.

Same, that way they can still keep up with current news.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

 

[Cake Boss]

All hail our new TV overlords Netflix.

 

[Plasma]

 

[War Peaceman]

Seems appropriate given that Clarkson treats his staff like Underwood treats people.

 

[Jarrod38]

Tonight on House of Cars
James plays a game of cards, Richard marries Oliver, and Jeremy finally gets his hot meal.

 

[enzo_gt]

Count me in.

 

[Marvel]

I see what you did there... day one.

 

[OnkelC]

would actually make me subscribe to netflix.

 

[Enter The 36 Chambers]

That name is amazing.

Netflix means unfiltered Clarkson..

IN

 

[Delicious Waffles]

I'd sign up for Netflix again for this alone.

 

[Frog-fu]

Hate the name.

 

[Ray Wonder]

Hate the name.

I wouldn't mind it being different either. I think it's good, but honestly, I don't care what the name is.

 

[MilkyJoe]

They'd have my sword...


Yeah saw this this morning, been following the news all day, ITV would not work if it was car sponsorship pulling the strings, Top Gear is, at heart, a review show.

 

[Ezalc]

Never really seen Top Gear, but I'm surprised people seem eager to support the guy. Isn't he supposed to be an asshole especially after what he did to the producer or whatever of his other show?

 

[Ikon]

I actually would. I wouldn't for any other show to be honest.

 

[TheSeks]

I'd probably subscribe to Netflix for it.

Or better yet: Put the show on other services to buy a la the Top Gear DVD's after the season is over. I'd buy those.

 

[Zaph]

Called it the moment Clarkson was fired. The massive international audience makes it too perfect for Netflix to pass up on - it's exactly what they need right now for their roll out.

Was getting slightly concerned that execs there might fear an internet backlash given Clarkson's history...

 

[Almighty]

Well Clarkson is an assclown, but I would probably watch this. Unlike others though I do hope they release them all at one time because I do love me some binge watching.

 

[butalala]

Yes, he is an asshole, but he's not really a villain. More of a childish school boy kind of asshole. His antics are amusing, even if they have gotten a bit over the top in recent years.

The news came out shortly after his dismissal that in the months leading up to the punch, Clarkson had gone through a divorce, lost his mother and gotten a possible cancer diagnosis; the kind of stuff that could cause anyone to snap.

Makes sense. Thanks for answering man, hope the guy is able to calm down and get things straightened out then.

 

[wildfire]

I'm still trying to determine if that name is a triple entendre.

 

[Slayven]

I think Clarkson is a waste of flesh, but I do love Hammond and May. I will probably watch.

 

[Pharaun]

Tonight on House of Cars
James plays a game of cards, Richard marries Oliver, and Jeremy finally gets his hot meal.

I laughed way too hard at this. I really hope they sign with Netflix, it's perfect for this type of show.

He may be a asshole but he's are asshole

 

[andycapps]

There's one thing I don't like about Netflix and it's their way of releasing the whole series (season) at the same time. Maybe it works with some shows but it kills discussion so effectively, everyone is watching a different episode, all the discussion is spoiler tags on top of spoiler tags. I vastly prefer the week-to-week format with most shows, including Top Gear. Well that and one other issue: Finnish Netflix is terrible but that's why we use illegal software to bypass regions.

That being said, House of Cars is a great name.

They don't have to release all of them at the same time.

And I agree, House of Cars is a fantastic name. This needs to happen.

 

[Ark]

Yes, please.

 

[Ray Wonder]

He may be a asshole but he's are asshole

This literally, verbatim, popped into my head when I read his question. Except, in my head, are was spelled as our.

 

[Archer]

Oh yes.

 

[Ultryx]

That got me so excited I chatted with someone over at Netflix and told them to pick the show up under that name.

 

[Daffy Duck]

This is amazing news!

I so hope it happens, that name is genius.

 

[hydruxo]

Hope it happens. That sounds amazing.

 

[To Far Away Times]

That name is brilliant.

 

[Akahige]

The name is stupid to me, even though Clarkson is clearly an ass I'd watch the show anyway I could get it. I hope a Netflix deal pans out.

 

[Busty]

As a huge Top Gear fan I'm in even though this stuff never works the second time around. It's like trying to catch lightning in a bottle and frankly I think that it's only a matter of time before Clarkson has another one of this trademark gaffs.

 

[witness]

Brilliant idea, makes so much sense. Clarkson can really say whatever he wants on Netflix. I just want these guys back making a car show.

 

[DBT85]

Has to be Netflix. Has to be. ITV is wall to wall shit.

 

[iNvid02]

sounds stupid. I'm in.

 

[Jarrod38]

I laughed way too hard at this. I really hope they sign with Netflix, it's perfect for this type of show.

Dang it just came to me Tonight on House of Cars
James builds a house made out of cards, Richard destroys the house of cards, and Jeremy still gets his hot meal.

 

[SliChillax]

I'd sign up for Netflix again for this alone.

Exactly. My body and wallet is ready, please make this happen!!

 

[malingenie]

Man I really hope they choose Netflix over ITV. If they do I'd rather them release a new episode every week than in one big batch though.

Why would you wish that. You can watch a show every week if you'd like. Let the rest of us watch as many or as little as we want. It's the netflix way and i prefer it soooo much over the old way.

 

[the_firewithin]

Based netflix to the rescue (i hope). that name is great lol

 

[Pryce]

The best possible place for them. Great name as well.

 

[lem0n]

colbertgiveittome.gif

Unfiltered Clarkson. 100% on fucking board.

 

[Caribou]

Has anyone in this thread mentioned how great of a name it is yet?

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

I mean, it's only the follow up of the crew to like the most popular show in the world.

Come on Netflix, you got this!

 

[dekline]

Funny, I just had a thought about the dacia sandero.

 

[Lion Heart]

What happened to the top gear test track? Can't be cheap to maintain.

 

[B-Dubs]

Funny, I just had a thought about the dacia sandero.

Moving on then, what about that Ferrari?
