Which TV Team has the Best Job?

liah

Between Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson, Hamster, and Captain Slow or Mythbusters' Jamie, Adam, Kari, Tori, RoboGrant and Buster, which team do you reckon has the better job?

Constantly watching these two shows green with envy. I think I'd pick Mythbusters... explosions seem like SO much fun! But Top Gear tends to have the more interesting adventures.. I'm conflicted.

What's your pick?

The Den circa the mid-1990s. Every year, they actually got to meet the Santa Claus on christmas day! Lucky bastards.

Overheal

What about the Time Warp team? Or the Justice League?

AnonoBoy

Derek Davis circa Play the Game era.

He got paid to Play a Game!!!!!!! :eek:

Also got to meet Twink all the time. Lucky bastard.

Overheal

Or the Crystal Maze...

What the hell is a TV?!

TopGear would be my choice.

However, I'd like to throw Soccer AM into the mix.

Seems like it would be great craic working on that show.

I'd have agreed with you had Boy George not turned up to do whatever the feck he did on that show.

His casting still amazes me.

You clearly didn't see the episode of Knight Rider where the boyband "new edition" make an appearance? Made the CowboyGeorge episode of TheA-Team look like TheWire.

Basically TV didn't have to make sense back then.

Ha, when I saw the title of this thread I thought it was gonna be everyone saying random TV teams and I thought TopGear or Mythbusters.
Lol.

Top Gear though, wins hands down, so many amazing cars. Not terribly scripted (although if it is it isn't always horribly obvious, which is the worst thing about Mythbusters...)
Not to mention TopGear do get to destroy lots and lots of caravans:pac:

Pop's Diner

The Brainiac Team should be included too (if only for a bit more variety).

Keogg

What the hell is a TV?!

Also TopGear get to travel around the whole damn world! I mean, apart from antartica (I think) they've been on every continent!!
Actually, have they been to Austrailia??

SoupyNorman

How did you come up with such a comparison, it's not even comparable.

Mythbusters is $hit and Top Gear isnt.

Top Gear is full of posh twats and awful acting i hate them with a passion !!! Dom Jolly had the best TV Show job in the history of TV...Happy Hour. He traveled the world trying out all their drinks. Where do you apply for that job ??

I hadn't actually seen Pop's Diners post when i posted that, it was more of a 'if anyone tried to say blowing stuff up' was better then top gear. Whoops:o

Top Gear, cars out-drive explosions!

Mythbusters is absolutely class, how on earth is it shít exactly? They get to do some truly amazing stuff that should be (and probably is) incredibly illegal.

And there's REALLY BIG EXPLOSIONS.

What's not to like?!

Red Sleeping Beauty

Deadliest Catch to be quite fuppin honest. C'mon, they're hard men. Harder than three English toffs driving cars and harder than two geeky bald fellas doin science experiements/

Ginger Goatees.

Peyton Manning

Jeff Stelling and the boys on Gilette Soccer Saturday. They get paid to watch football and listen to Chris Kamara.

I'd go for Top Gear but I'd say Clarkson would get extremely annoying after a while....

Creature

Top Gear, cars out-drive explosions!

The guys on Top Gear seem like more fun to be around but I'd rather be building crazy machines and blowing everything up than driving cars that I'd never actually get to take home. Plus the redhead on Mythbusters is delicious.

In fairness, to watch Boxstock Stanley v Scunthorpe on a 4inch screen in my desk I'd want to be paid.

Any position on the BBC Formula 1 team would suit me fine.

Failing that.....has Alan Whicker retired yet??

I vote for Top Gear. Because as well as cars and explosives, and access to military equipment, and jetsetting, you also have the celebrity angle which Mythbusters dont have. Now I admit some celebs are about as interesting as James May's shirts, but they also bring on some pretty cool people. Simon Pegg springs to mind.

And the occasional hottie.

Second on the list should be Long Way round. That would be a pretty cool job to have.

Heisenberg.

I'd definitely go for Top Gear out of those two. Getting to drive all those beautiful machines. Go on challenges to all corners of the world. Take the absolute piss out of each other. They get paid to do a lot of the things you wanted to do as a kid.

WindSock

Any travel show would be the bees knees.

Expose, omg like, I'd get to talk to vapid celebs!!!!!!!!

Most Haunted would be great craic.

That would suck having to sort out all those logistics and visas etc. Plus you'd be stuck with that Boorman nonce.
