a place to discuss one of my fav TV genres!!

 

 

 

okay its a semi - new show that comes on ABC Thursdays 8/7c called Wipe Out. anyone watch it??

 

 

 

anyone else watch it?? this show is freaking hilarious. i mean, the commentators are blah and annoying, but the show itself is great!! i know it's modeled afte rthe Japenese game shows; but seriously, what better then watching people fall into water and bounce off of stuff or totlaly mis judge a jump and smack into the platform face first!!! i crack up just thinking about it.

 

 

 

i also saw 101 ways to leave a game show last night too, not as funny but still some what. especially when you watch a woman scream her head off as a monster truck runs over her car or as a person gets dragged off a dock by a speed boat moving over 50 mph.

incase you guys haven't heard of Wipe Out. heres a taste of it via a promo

I'm sorry, but I never really got into ABC's gameshows. I just can't get into watching people make fools of themselves. But I guess that is most of televeision nowadays.....

I watched it when it first came on. I rarely check it out anymore. The little appeal it had rubbed off.

 

Now what I wish is that they would get something like Ninja Warrior going over here. I know g4 has American Ninja Warrior which is really a gameshow to get 1 or 2 people to Japan to compete.

 

I occasionally check out Jeopardy but other than that do not game shows.

what about the cable game shows ... like Taxi Cab or Lingo or Family Fued or Whammy or Dating Game or Baggage???

 

 

personally i love the Fued and Lingo most of all!!!!

 

 

Not a big Game Show guy (besides maybe Jeopardy).

 

I prefer MXC to Wipeout.
