Posted: 6/24/08 at 9:10pmWho could possibly come with these ideas? ABC has hit a new low. A funny, funny low.

Posted: 6/24/08 at 9:12pmThe title "I Survived a Japanese Game Show" kind of suggests that they know how stupid it is.

Posted: 6/24/08 at 9:13pmI saw the previews and they looked dumb, but funny in the same instance. I actually think my mom is watching the Japanese game show right now.

Posted: 6/24/08 at 9:32pmWipeout seems like it's based on a Japanese game show that one of the cable networks ran at night with American announcers dubbed over the Japanese announcers voices. I thought the big red balls were a hoot.

Posted: 6/24/08 at 9:37pmI feared the worst, but actually enjoyed Wipeout. THe contestants really have a good humor about it, which makes it work. I Survived a Japanese Game Show has potential since it is in a long-term elimination format. It's like America's Next Top Model except...well...it's in Japan?

Posted: 6/24/08 at 11:09pmI thought Wipeout was ok, not great, but no game show really is anymore. I survived... was much better than I anticipated. I was expecting clips of American contestants on the game shows, but was surprised to discover a reality show (which I usually hate) that had some new ideas, and some pretty good contestants. I am excited to see where it goes.

Posted: 6/25/08 at 4:31pmIs this like Most Extreme Elimination Challenge that used to come on Spike TV or FX?

Posted: 6/25/08 at 4:36pmI got a kick out of the show! I was suprised by the format. I thought it was going to be just like a reg game show but I like the whole reality take they went with....

yes...but no where near as funny. The overdubbing was what was so funny about MXE.
We laughed a few times at Wipeout, and I'm sure I'll watch "I survived...) because that's just the kind of reality show whore I am.

Posted: 6/25/08 at 4:45pmI simply must watch this. Watching Human Tetris is one of my favorite boredom-killers.

Posted: 6/25/08 at 4:45pmMy 5 year old loved these shows last night! LOL!
re: Wipeout / I Survived a Japanese Game Show#12
Posted: 6/25/08 at 4:54pmI loved watching MXC. Kenny Blakenship and Vic Romano ruled! LOL
re: Wipeout / I Survived a Japanese Game Show#13
Posted: 6/25/08 at 4:54pmWipeout sort of reminds me of Battle of the Network Stars, but without the D-List celebs.

Penny Marshall brought class to that show. Remember when they had the cast of Logan's Run? The series?
If you're a reality show whore, the two of us could start a production of The Life.
OOOOH! We could make it a reality competition series for whores! What would the challenges be?

Posted: 6/25/08 at 5:05pmChallenges for a reality tv show for whores? I can't wait to hear these!

Posted: 6/25/08 at 5:11pmHate to admit it, but Wipeout was WAY more amusing than I expected. Granted, I watched it at 1 in the morning and was already pretty tired, but something about it just cracked me up.
re: Wipeout / I Survived a Japanese Game Show#19
Posted: 6/25/08 at 5:13pmYeah, what saves Wipeout from being awful is that the people really act like they are having a great time while playing the game. I could have watched them bounce off those giant red balls for days.
