Looks like everyone's favorite car guys are going to Amazon Prime. http://time.com/3978259/jeremy-clarkson-top-gear-amazon/ Wonder if Clarkson's sense of humor will take a hit?

Only if he tries to show a confederate flag on air
Does that mean we have to pay for it, like everything else on Prime? I have both and find Netflix has more to offer than Prime. Prime wants to nickle and dime you to death for every movie.
I was REALLY hoping for Netflix (which I've had for years and love), not Amazon (which I don't have and won't pay for another service, even just to get The Guys). Dammit.
I have Prime for the free shipping, but watch a lot of stuff on it as well since no cable. If the new show is free, I'll check it out, if it costs extra I won't bother since I'm betting it will be as tiring and played out as the old show.
I dropped Netflix after having it since my first DVD player because their CEO pissed me off. Won't go back even though I've been tempted because they have more/different stuff than Prime.

Well, I used to think that. But now Clarkson and Co. are on Amazon Prime. Ergo, Amazon Prime no longer sucks.
Well that sucks. Primes streaming means you've paid for the right to pay less for stuff that's included on Hulu and Netflix.
Wow--- for Time, that was really poorly edited. Glad to see the guys getting another show together though.
I have Prime and Netflix. My first preference is Netflix but the one great thing about Prime is that they have all the HBO shows. This means ability to watch The Wire and some other greats.
Pro tip on Netflix:
One subscription allows for viewing on 4 devices. I share the subscription with a buddy. He has his tv, laptop and tablet. I have Netflix on my living room Roku as the 4th. We are in the same town but not the same house.
i have prime as i get free shipping within 2 hours on most things, hooray magic zip code, I've seriously ordered frozen wings before opposed to running out to the store. Their video stuff has been getting better, their production budget and distribution network will be better then Netflix as well, which you wouldn't think with Veep, House of Cards and OITNB, but budgetwise they own netflix.

I think you have to pay extra for more devices. We have the bare bones streaming and it only allows us 2.
Looks like I'm going to become a prime member...

It should be mentioned that this is 2 devices at a time. I have Netflix on probably 10 different computers, Rokus, Fire sticks, cells, etc... Just can't run three at once.
Hopefully Amazon produces give Clarkson an ample supply of warm meat to eat or start giving them some olympic boxing gear
I purchased Prime specifically for the free shipping; I buy just about everything but groceries from them now.
Watching Clarkson, Capt. Slow, and Hamster is an added perk!
So this is going to be the unfiltered version of Jeremy Clarkson....he is going to be banned from every country..
I was also hoping for Netflix, already being a subscriber... but I suppose I'll look into Prime now... I do tend to buy a lot from Amazon, so the free shipping aspect may be worth it as well...
I'm pretty much addicted to my Prime membership.
I ordered 3 wall-mount tire racks for the shop on Wednesday, and they will be here Saturday, with free shipping.
Since I don't have cable or Dish, I watch pretty much everything I want on Instant Video. Plus, there is some good music available to stream for free.
Clarkson & Co. will be an added bonus.
