Introducing The Younger Generation To...Jeremy, Richard, And James


My wife and I found ourselves watching the early episodes of Amazon's Grand Tour. We'd seen most of the newer season offerings, but we missed many of their first couple of years. Grand Tour, and before it, the original Top Gear is one of the most entertaining shows on TV. Usually, after dinner, the kids return to their rooms to work on their projects. Lately, though, our youngest..

Sat in and watched Grand Tour with us.

Now, he's hooked.

And, why wouldn't he be?

Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May are an almost perfect entertaining trio. Their personalities, incredible writing, and beautiful cinematography create a trifecta of fun. My wife and I have enjoyed Top Gear for years and years. We tried watching the later renditions of Top Gear, including the American version (which we liked...), but the cannot hold a candle to the original.

Currently, we're watching the Lockdown episode where each chose an enormously huge 1970s American car for their transportation. Another classic.

We'll soon run out of shows for our son to watch, which will be sad. I'm hoping there will be more seasons for all of us to enjoy, but I'm glad we were able to convert at least one of our children to the miracle that is Grand Tour. Happy to know our parenting hasn't been a complete disaster.
