Both shows are going to premiere on 24 June one after another. I don't know what to think about this. On the one hand, it will be great to see an MXC-esque game show on television again, but to have a knockoff of a Japanese game show precede an actual one? Something about that doesn't agree with me.
Apparently the former is produced by Endemol, producers of other over-the-top shows such as Deal or No Deal. That's reason enough for me to see that anyway.

Dang, now I wanna get that song "Turning Japanese"...
& MXC was totally ruined by the stupid "dub". Thank goodness for Ninja Warrior & Unbeatable Banzuke.

I'm not saying MXC was unwatchable (some of the stuff they had to do was great), it's just I wanted to see what they were really saying. | |

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.

You aren't missing much but I too wish I knew what they were saying most of the time.

At least Wipeout was worth the hour, though.
