Which one is that? None of them are terribly funny (Tanner least of all) and even on the original TG the best laughs came from the either the well written jokes or the spontaneity of their interactions (which probably aren't so spontaneous, just hidden by the dryness that we Americans struggle to pick up).

I rather like Rutledge (watched him on Speed channel many years before TGUS) his openness and enthusiasm is infectious and after realizing Adam is an actor first I appreciate the almost non-enthusiast perspective from a guy who seems to be incredibly enthusiastic about cars, he probably has the quickest wit of the three from what I remember.

I think the biggest turnoff is many people expected and wanted British humor and I think it was smart that they seemed to drop it pretty quickly, like American vs. US Office, it's passable but needs to be really reworked to hit the right notes which is how we got Parks and Rec.
