Wipeout : Hey, we had a gameshow called Wipeout over here. It was nothing like this though...I like the look of it. It's more Takeshi's Castle (your MXC) than Ninja Warrior based. I don't like the fact that they can get up and continue when they've been knocked into the water/mud/whatever. It makes it a little watered down. And how is this a 'reality series'?
I Survived A Japanese Gameshow : You know that Saturday Night Live sketch with the Japanese gameshow? That looks eerily similar to this. And I will love it.
And there's one, slightly less active show that ABC also have: Wanna Bet?
I'm going to like that for two reasons:
1) It's You Bet!/Wetten Dass?, which we haven't had since 1998!
2) Ant & Dec are hosting it. Yeah, it's a little weird for a UK presenting duo to present a US show, but they've been able to convert no-hope formats into quite good TV.
