Wipeout: High Ratings, Good; 'MXC' Comparisons, Bad

July 15, 2008

WipeoutApparently, the sight of helpless people falling flat on their faces against fake mud is a joy that doesn't go away that easily.  The goofy ABC reality-competition show Wipeout drew in 9.5 million viewers on its second week, just a slight decline from its debut, and second only to NBC's America's Got Talent.  Amazingly, Wipeout also topped the finale of Hell's Kitchen by some 1.8 million viewers.

One of the producers of MXC, a redubbing of a Japanese cult favorite Takeshi's Castle, however, is not jumping for joy.  Wipeout is understandably reaping comparisons with MXC, which, when you think about it really, is a ripoff in itself.

Wipeout: Premiere Review

June 24, 2008

Most Extreme Elimination Challenge, the Japanese game show which aired on SpikeTV from 2003-2007, is the only reason Wipeout exists.  MXC took the Japanese show Takeshi's Castle, which aired in Japan for a few years in the late 80's, and re-dubbed it with American commentators and fictional dialogue for the contestants.  The show featured ridiculous competitions and challenges, often resulting in humorous falls and faceplants.  MXC was a cult hit, the kind of series college students watch at 2am on a Wednesday.  Wipeout debuted tonight on ABC and, while the series doesn't have MXC's kitsch factor (how could it?), it's a harmless little summer series, and one which you won't feel guilty for watching.

WipeoutImagine a larger-than-life-sized obstacle course, with more far-fetched hurdles to overcome, all in the name of achieving the most spills, wipeouts and face plants ever witnessed on television.  That's exactly what ABC's newest reality series, Wipeout, promises to deliver.

Hosted by John Anderson of ESPN's SportsCenter and John Henson of E! Entertainment's Talk Soup, Wipeout is a weekly dose of physically arduous yet hysterical challenges guaranteed to have you in stitches.
