So I'm watching Hole in the Wall. It came on after football on Fox. If you haven't heard of this show, you at least have seen Youtubes of the Japanese version.
If you read Dangerous, Dirty, and Unfun, you know that I watch a lot of garbage TV. But this might just be too garbage. I mean, the whole point of Japanese game shows is the meaningless, exuberant gibberish that's shouted over the action. When that is transformed into slick American production values and a professional commentator . . . I don't know. Some of the charm gets lost. We already have plenty of shows where jerks get pushed into pools of water, you know?
Maybe I'm just upset that they didn't make an American version of my favorite Japanese show.
