I Survived a Japanese Game Show

This could've been a really fantastic show, giving us Americans a taste of those crazy Japanese game shows. This show is actually that, only chewed up, spit out, stomped on the floor, then put on a plate for us to enjoy.

In the whole one hour time slot, we only see 1.5 games. The half of a game is actually 2 contestants competing to stay on the show. There's way too much talking, and not enough of the games.

I set my TiVo to record this, and fast forwarding through the talking and commercials, I watched the whole hour episode in less than 20 minutes. Needless to say, this show is off my 'record' list with three thumbs down. I wish networks would stop wasting our time with this trash and give us something fresh and new (ie. NOT A REALITY SHOW).

Skip this show at all cost. I give this show 1 finger out of 10. You can guess which finger that is.

When I first saw advertisements for the first season of I Survived a Japanese Game Show, I thought it looked really stupid. But eventually, it started to grow on me. So I tuned in to the series premiere. My expectations were blown out of the water. This series is a very clever idea. It was the perfect mix of laughter-inducing stunts and reality TV drama. I hope ABC puts this out on DVD sooner or later.

I like the second season, too. Although it isn't as good as the first season. They got rid of Tony Sano, which is too bad, because I thought he was a good host. They also put three games in each episode instead of two, so there's less time for reality TV drama. It has been better, but I still like it.

An uninteresting, probably meant to be exploitive and, in the most negative, negative, bad idea. The result is an uninteresting, negatively exploitive, bad program that is not fun, but just motivates you to quickly press the television control to escape this lousy program.

This has probably been one of my favorite shows to rewatch, Along with ABC's Wipeout. ISAJG was sort of like Wipeout, more focused on the Japanese Gameshow aspect more than it was Wipeout. I'm glad I watched all of Season 1, but apparently i have been told that Season 2 wasnt all too well, I'll check out some episodes and see how bad it really is. ISAJG for me, i think was a good show overall! I loved the aspect of the show, the hosts and judge were amazing, and it felt like you were apart of the show, in a way! I would love to see ABC bring this show back, and just get that 2008 once more back on my television screen!!

I loved "I survived a Japanese game show" it was a breath of fresh air to see this on my TV set every week. I really hope there is a season two as this show can only get better! Great job ABC!

Unlike other reality show "I survived a Japanese game show" had an intelligent irony which in my opinion upgraded the dull universe of reality TV. It was a comedy reality show and I loved westerners being fish out of water.

Its the kind of show one watches to forget about the boring dull day you just had and the game show rounds are real talk about moments. Its a cult classic on a massive scale...Brilliant stuff!
