Obviously, the departure of all three hosts signaled the alarm on one of the most beloved shows that had maintained a high level of entertainment and quality through 22 seasons. On season 23, there's a dramatic drop off in quality. Not on the production level or creative events/themes, but because LeBlanc and Evans offer little-to-no chemistry or charisma on screen. Narration, as well, is shoddy much of the time but LeBlanc actually has a decent voice for it (just needs better writing for the narrative portion). Otherwise there are some cool twists in the formula for season 23 and they could easily be missed because of the world's eclipsing love for Clarkson, Mammond and May. Season 23 is an unfortunate drop in quality but given that shakeups were already in process before this season concluded its airing there might be hope for one or two other quality hosts to come around and join LeBlanc to make the show have a little pop again. Just because it's not as good without Clark/Hammond/May doesn't mean this show can't be entertaining ever again. It all rests on the hosting crew and their efforts with everything they do.

SEASON 23
the 23 season has got 2 things. custody of The Stig, and Mat Leblanc, everything else feels wrong. they should have changed the format completely, it sonds like chris evans is just copying what jeremy used to say, and it just reminds me that they are gone. i hope it can work out for Matt leblanc, but for everything else i hate it.

SEASON 23
This format just doesn't work without presenters with a pleasant commentary **** too much fast scripted humor. Which also was the old crews ploblem in the latest **** make this a success it needs to look at the seasons before 2010 for inspiration. And get a new presenter who can do the commentary parts without sounding like an teenage idiot.
