the whole thing looks impossible. it is pretty funny, that's for sure. i watched it again, made me laugh a lot. although i think if it wasn't for the commentary, it wouldn't be as good.

I'd like to see someone be successful on the punching board too. I just once want to see someone complete the course without getting wet or muddy.

Wasn't a huge fan of the tennis ball, backward treadmill thingy though. I much preferred the dizzy run across the water. That was funny.

they really need to repaint those balls blue, that would open up a whole new door of inappropriate jokes for those guys and they could say Good nite and Blue Balls!

I didn't think this last show was as funny, however still enjoyable.

I agree that it wasn't as funny...the only other part I laughed at was when he kept going on and on about the tennis ball obstacle tripping people up and then on the last one he finally gave up...

but other than those two moments I don't remember any big laughs...except when that guy was dancing at the end maybe..

and it was weird that they had so much trouble on the final obstacle course when the first show they seemed to fly through it..

oh well..

This is hilarious:
Futon Critic Press Release

NEW YORK, July 3 -- Spike TV realizes that in the summer, some broadcast networks might be "lost" like a "desperate housewife" or an "ugly betty" in search of "bachelor" so they turn to imitating shows on cable. In honor of this, Spike TV celebrates "MXC, The Original, Not The Ripoff, Weekend" on July 5-6 as an homage to the network's original series based on a wacky Japanese game show which debuted five years ago.

Using the actual footage from one of the most popular primetime Japanese reality game shows, "Takeshi's Castle," Spike TV's "MXC" is re-written to create an entirely new comedic storyline. The series is not dubbed and there is not a single trace of literal translation from the original show. "MXC" has become so popular that many of the games featured in the Spike series such as Mudslingers and Log Jam can be seen in surprisingly similar forms on other networks.

"MXC, The Original, Not The Ripoff, Weekend" airs on Spike TV on Saturday, July 5 (9:00am - 11:30am ET/PT) and Sunday, July 6 (3:30pm - 5pm ET/PT).

Paul Abeyta, Peter Kaikko, and Larry Strawther of R.C. Entertainment serve as Executive Producers and writers for "MXC." The show is written and voiced by seasoned actors Victor Wilson, Christopher Darga, Mary Scheer and John Cervenka.


Direct slam at Wipeout, LOL ...

That is funny, Ladytex. Poor Spike TV just can't get any respect, lol, but I think it's the 3 hosts of Wipeout that make it enjoyable for me. During the 1st episode, they would go to facial reactions by the female host that needed no words to be funny and the 2 guys were hilarious with their commentary. The 2nd week, I felt like either they told them to tone it down or re-edited to tone it down and it took away some of the fun. Or maybe once was just enough for me, LOL.

Last week, I didn't enjoy the 'survived a Japanese Game show' but did this week because we're getting to know the contestants more. I feel sorry for the people at the networks because someone like me is so hard to please.

I have to admit, this is the most thoroughly enjoyable and stoopid show I've seen in a while. I caught it while sitting in a hotel room last week, and was laughing so loudly I realized I needed to shush up or I'd bother my neighbors. Those danged big balls... And the female hosts response sometimes is even funnier than the falls off the balls!!!!

Purrfect mindless entertainment!

My husband and I spend a good amount pausing and rewinding because we are laughing so hard, and we have just got to see it again. Good night and big balls.

I admit, I watch this too. I'm just amazed at how people come into this apparently not realizing how physically challenging it is!

And the "I survived a Japanese game show" is my other guilty pleasure. Amazing what humiliation people will go thru for money!

(I'm ashamed to admit that my guiltiest pleasure to watch is Rock of Love, I'm fascinated that these women would go on tv and act like this, it's a train wreck)

I love both shows! Wipeout and Japanese Game Show. I guess slapstick comedy just never gets old. Of course, one thing that makes Wipeout so funny is the commentary. Those guys are hilarious!

Strangely enough, Mom likes Wipeout, but not Japanese Game Show. To me they're nearly one in the same.

We finally watched the other night. It is very funny and the kids loved it of course.

I agree though Pamy. Some of those people are not all that young and not in great shape. They must have to sign some serious wavers. I can't believe the abuse a body can take.

I watched this show one time and shrugged and Japanese Game show, didn't even make it through one episode (it wasn't the first one, but I simply didn't like any of the contestants). I have to admit I didn't make too much effort because I just have too many shows going right now that I like.
