Wipeout

Used to be SUCH a great show. Then they went on an extended hiatus, then they changed times, days, channels. This is when America loses interest. Hollywood: Take note, this is why all those great shows in the 90s fail. Friends was a top hit for 10 years. Why? It remained in the same channel, same days, same time. Going to flop again, hard. Replacing a great cast with boring, unfunny "names" is not going to help. Too bad Hollywood can't put their own egos aside to listen to the American people for what they want.

The contestants are having fun, the three hosts are having fun, the entire film crew is surely having fun -- so one can't help but laugh along with them.

Take a break from the daily grinds of life and watch some good sports being 'wiped out' by an ever-changing series of obstacles and challenges.

I was recently at a family gathering -- ages 8 to 72 -- and all were enjoying an episode of this show. I quickly laughed along.

'Wipeout' is often in re-runs. Watch it if you can. What the heck!

This is a game show where contestants compete in a ridiculous obstacle course. John Henson and John Anderson give comedic relief playing commentators of this game. Jill Wagner is the fun on-the-field 'reporter'. She has a fine time. Vanessa Lachey replaced her for a season, and just wasn't as funny as Jill.

While it's funny to see people get smacked in the head, it does get old. The good thing is the contestants are always new. The crazier they are the better the show. And that's the only reason to watch this after a couple of years. It's not that original to see yet another guy take it in the nuts. But make that guy an idiot with a dancing addiction and it becomes hilarious.

This show is TOO funny. first, if you haven't watched it, you got to, you will be hooked like a fish. i don't crack up a many shows, but this show right here, yes. I was rolling. I'm talking about my cheeks and abs were hurting like 15 minutes into the show. My wife was rolling too, and my son almost hit a back flip because of the ridiculousness these people go through. The two commentators are a good addition to the show. The female is just a pretty face with smart remarks, but she's a kind of funny.This show is like that Japanese show MXC, but in my opinion, smarter. In some of the courses, the obstacles are manually activated, and so, when the contestants approach still obstacles, little do they know, they're in for a face full of 'Boom'. Or, slammed into something and flinging into the water. This show is awesome!

What better way to end a long and hot Tuesday with a cool show? I like how this show has the theme of summer kept in mind to the audience, and the somewhat dry humor to it too. I had been anticipating this show ever since the commercials came out and I was satisfied. The idea of the show is somewhat original, the one-whole-game-per-show keeps the show moving, and at the end of the season, a game with all the winners will probably be played. This show may seem like a waste of time, but it is fun to watch at night before going to bed. Watch this rather than that other game show after it, as that show is absolutely horrible and boring.
