Jay Leno's Garage

I loved this show the first 2-3 seasons. Jay would haul out one of his many cars from his collection and talk about them. He'd have a few stars on, like his friend Tim Allen, all for some good-natured competition, but also some real 'car people'. Now, however, it's all about famous guest stars and their expensive rides - or about them driving expensive new vehicles, which I personally find very boring. It also seems to be much more 'PC' in the newer seasons, too. Jay just doesn't seem to be enjoying himself nearly as much in the newer seasons, either. He's stuck with people he barely knows and doesn't necessarily want to be around. The episode with Brie Larson was probably the low point in the entire series. She's a Nissan spokesperson and just raved about the new Z and talked about its features - it was just one big commercial. Pretty sad.

"Jay Leno's Garage" is the perfect show to watch when you just want a pleasant time-passer. In other words, you aren't always in the mood for a movie or commitment to a TV series and so this show about cars is great viewing in such a situation. The format is pretty simple and surprisingly enjoyable. Jay Leno introduces the viewer to a variety of people who love classic and unusual cars and, using his gentle humor and nice personality, explains about the cars and has occasional adventures. It's a reality TV show that can be enjoyed by folks like me who normally DON'T like reality TV. Well worth seeing.

Jay Leno is quick-witted and funny, but this production is mostly just the same Hollywood promotion talkshow apperarance, only in car seats instead of chairs. We saw this shift, the gameification of talkshows, with Ellen Show and next-gen late show hosts like Jimmy Fallon and James Corden.

There are some segments that only showcase cars, but mostly they're structured as a tiresome guessing game. I just want to watch car nerds talk about cars in a calm, adult setting -- this show is too hyperactive for me.

Such an entertaining show it's hilarious and you see some cars you'd probably never see on any other show!

I love it, every episode is a learning experience!
