It's time to review the serious shows. Wipeou and MXC!!
Wipeout is described as follows:
"Human cannonballs! Human pinballs! Crashes, smashes and mud splashes! Twenty-four thrill-seekers will compete in the world's largest extreme obstacle course designed to provide the most spills, face plants and wipeouts ever seen on television, in Wipeout, a painfully funny new reality series."
MXC claims to be this:
"This critically-acclaimed comedic series is a combination of Fear Factor, Jackass and Iron Chef, with a touch of Mystery Science Theater 3000. Using the actual footage from one of the most popular primetime Japanese reality game shows, Takeshi's Castle, the new series is re-written to create an entirely new comedic storyline. The series is not dubbed and there is not a single trace of literal translation from the original show."
Wipeout is a new show that airs on ABC. It has it's moments and it can be funny, but it still doesn't compare to MXC which airs on Spike TV. I mean, really, you can't compete "Gee LaDouche" as the sideline reporter and commentary that has nothing to do with what happened in reality. I'll still watch Wipeout though, because it airs during primetime as opposed to 2AM.
I'm sure you'll all sleep better now knowing that I think of these 2 shows!! Any "copycat" shows you hae opinions on??
