How Do You Feel about Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson Being Fired?

It was announced this morning that the BBC has opted not to renew the contract of Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson after the outspoken Brit smacked one of the show’s producers,
Right decision? Over-reaction? Will you still watch the show? Will it be as popular?

Clarkson's departure puts the entire TG franchise in a peculiar situation - it makes a tremendous amount of money for the BBC - over $225M USD, I've heard - and I just don't know if it will be as popular if someone else (or elses - there's been little comment from Hammond or May) takes over.
Execs at the BBC are reviewing the situation now .. it's been stated that there will be a TG for 2016, but in what format or with whom as presenters is TBD.
I'd like to see the last 3 episodes aired, but I doubt that will happen.
Clarkson is an interesting character, but I think he dug his own grave over the past few years with his comments - and this recent "fracas" was the proverbial straw. Can't say I blame the BBC - as has been noted dozens of times on multiple sites, how many of us can strike a co-worker and keep their job?
TG had to end, someday, eventually. Just not the way I would have expected it to happen.

I will miss the editing and cinematography of TG UK very much.

I once had a guy working for me that was very high maintenance but he could do the work of three people combined. I put up with more than I should have really, but one day I caught him (by pure accident) stealing something and that was the end.
Had he hit someone the result would have been the same.
BBC did what they had to do.
Will be interesting to see what Clarkson does next - if anything.
