This was my issue with comedians in cars getting coffee. Felt like being talked down to by rich spoiled celebrities.

Really? I felt like a fly on the wall listening to pros talk shop. The things they had in common were fascinating - like being on the road in hotels and sneaking leftover food off room service carts in the hallway. Seinfeld said that was how he first got to try key lime pie.

Maybe they changed things up in later seasons? I don't recall the first season really getting into anything like that (and I think I only made it 1-2 seasons in).

I don't have a sense of when I noticed this about the show, probably right away. I'm always alert to that sort of thing, having done some performing myself (at a much lower level) and I relate to some of the experiences. Things they say hit home because they're so basic. Can't think of anything specific right now besides the key lime pie, but I haven't watched the show in probably a year. I got the same feeling once hearing Jimmy Stewart talk about his thought process while preparing for a role - it was stuff I had thought about myself as a beginner, and that felt really cool.

I did like that show for background noise tho.

When it was more about the cars, I liked it. I’m never going to get to drive an old Porsche around, so it was interesting seeing someone who wasn’t an auto journalist talk about the car while they drove it.

Then it turned into two guys jacking each other off, and I lost interest.
