Wipe Out (the TV show)

[gaseousclay]

anyone else a fan? I grew up watching shows like this in Japan and was surprised they didn't hit the US market until recently. this is seriously good for laughs but it also looks like a lot of fun. I would love to try some of the obstacle courses and test my endurance. I think the new season premiers June 22nd

I just started watching this and I agree it's great for a laugh. I find it amazing what people will put themselves through for a chance at a few dollarss.

Yes it starts 6/22 and it is a great show. I like catching the actual Japanese episodes of a similar show on TMZ every once in a while as well.

Hysterical- DH and I are huge fans. I wouldn't mind teaching camp for a summer again to get my endurance up, and giving the course a shot. At the very least it'd be a heck of a laugh.

My family and I love this show. Its an absolute riot! And some of the obstacles look down right challenging.

I like it, and Jim Henson is hilarious.

Great show! My 8yr. old son and I have a fun time together watching this one.

The commentary is hilarious. I thought MXC (most extreme elimination challenge) was funnier.

I love the hand drawn graphics in the replays.I especially love the punching wall.

I've kind of gotten sick of this show. The commentators are behind a green screen and it's really just taped over. You rarely see a full run. The falls are pretty good, but Most Extreme Elimination Challenge with dubbing that certainly isn't close to what is actually being said is a better program. To actually see people attempt to complete obstacle courses, I prefer to view Ninja Warrior.

Ninja warrior is pretty awesome. Wipe out isn't about how good the people are its more about how bad they fall.
