Takeshi's Castle on UK TV is hilarious - Craig Charles does a great commentary for it.

I like Unbeatable Banzuke, but I guess that isn't really Americanized as it is just subbed (and sort of dubbed ... ).

I Survived a Japanese Gameshow is kind of lame, Wipeout I've never seen, MXC is funny and Banzai ... Banzai is just Banzai. That show was seriously weird.

I don't really have a problem with it, cuz I like Japanese gameshows (the whole punishing ignorance over rewarding intelligence is just so much more fun), but the americanized versions just ... lack something the original Japanese versions do.

Maybe it's the "wow that's so smurfing weird/cute/awesome/smurfed up" factor.

That's from The Simpsons. Then they fall into the volcano.

Doesn't make it any less true.

MXC is the only one worth watching.

The only thing that could make it watchable for more than 5 seconds would be to have Demon Wall as a guest.
