I haven’t lived in the US but I know about the reality TV shows and such. I don’t watch them but at least with the reality tv shows it’s regular people having fun and playing games rather than quasi-celebrities getting paid to play games on TV which is what this is. Back home (Ireland) when celebrities take part in game shows and such like the money goes to charity. I just can’t understand why people want to watch these people act silly in even sillier (extremely contrived) situations. What will we do in today’s show? I know, we’ll get our tv personalities to dress up in a funny costume and create some type of obstacle course for them where they are sure to fail! Genius from the minds of the world’s greatest TV producers! Or not.

Don’t get me wrong though. I’m not one of those who say that all Japanese TV sucks because I don’t think it does. I have enjoyed some shows in the past. It’s this genre that I can’t understand.

Hahaha. I just read that “Haneru no Tobira” was voted #5 of the 子供に見せたくない番組 list.

I think it’s safe to say that every single nation has their share of crap and lowbrow TV. The main difference is quantity.

Oh, and I can think of dozens of shows less entertaining than this – though I admit this particular course wasn’t nearly as interesting as others (though it was nice to see someone clear everything for once).

That was awesome! Thanks Japanese T.V
I like how at the end he acts like he just swished a three pointer in in basketball with like 1 second left to win the game, that wasn’t that hard to do but awesome none the less because of the punishment of losing!

It’s bad enough that is what they call entertainment on TV.
