I try to avoid watching anything on TV (especially anything with commercials). I watch live F1 races and the occasional HBO movie/show; everything else is either online or "on demand." I take a look for them on netflix next time I'm stranded in a hotel room.

You haven't seen Top Gear? Its one of the most watched car shows around, I think their world wide viewership is more than the population of this country,

Understandable, just because its on TV isn't a reason to dismiss it - its actually a BBC show and hasn't even come to the US unless you've got one of them fancy cable packages. Its worldwide audience is upwards of 300 million viewers (!!), is the most pirated TV show in history, and as of at least a couple years ago had the biggest budget of any BBC show. It definitely appeals to car guys but the humor is pretty good too

I don't watch TV either, its the 21st century I stream/download.

Top Gear is on the BBC so unless you pay extra you don't get it with cable.

Sorry, not a big youtube guy either. I read a bunch of F1 blogs, listen to a few F1 podcasts, and try to watch the races live (practice and qualifying too, if I'm motivated). I don't really like talking head shows, political or sports.

Agreed, but from yet another era. You really need to look at each decade separately.
