If GM or Ford sponsors NBC, they better not call the shots regarding the reviews of cars...
Right on.

Sponsors own the shows and the hosts to an extent in our media

I think you should give it a chance. When they re-vamped the format from Old Top Gear to New Top Gear, Jeremy Clarkson was the only one anyone had heard of. James May and Richard Hammond were unknowns. You also have to give the show a chance to bed in and not pull it after half a dozen shows.

Seinfeld took a couple of seasons before anyone even noticed it was on! It was NOT popular at the beginning.
