This was one of my favorite childhood shows. I loved the music and the humor of commentator John Henson. I loved the names that Henson gave when contestants fell like The Scorpion.

This show was only on during the summer, but it always put a smile on my face. I constantly found myself laughing and enjoying myself. Some of my fondest memories are sitting in my childhood home in Dallas, Texas laughing with my entire family. My mom did not love it as much as my dad and I, but she loved seeing me laugh. I absolutely loved this show and I was sad to hear that it was going to end.

I definitely suggest this show because it is a mindless and entertaining watch. Please watch and suggest it to friends!!!

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.

I am not one who watches those reality shows. I saw my first episode of Big Brother this last season. This show had me gasping for air laughing.

Those cheesy corn ball sound effects in the previews of the commercials had me grimacing at the thought of watching this show. I could not have been more wrong. The BIG BALLS will have you on the floor. And to watch people spin around really fast and then have to do something that requires major coordination that would be difficult stone cold sober will put more than a smile on your face.

If you want to watch something silly, fast moving and enjoyable give this show a shot. I was calling people I know to get them to watch.

When all is said and done it isn't just a joke it requires some true physical fitness, endurance, coordination and being able to think on your feet... and think after being dumped into a salad spinner.

Boy! Is this a good show! I like to watch it when I'm sick, have had a tough day, or just when it's on. I don't know where to start, uhhhh... How about John Henson, huh? He's an interesting character. Really makes me wonder, is he really like that? I hope not. He's been on Austin and Ally on Disney Channel as Austin's dad and I think his performance on this show smashes the one on Disney. But that's just me. John Anderson, however, he seems like Henson's opposite, but they work like a specially crafted team on Wipeout. You guys probably know this, but why did Jill Wagner take a break on the show? I haven't heard about that. Personally, I like Jill more than Vanessa Lachey, even though she only had a short time as host. Anyway... They have come up with interesting nicknames for the contestants, and they made me crack up sometimes. The show starts with 24 contestants, and you don't see all of them attempt the course, but you are able to see the best performances. Just as funny and ridiculous as some of the contestants are some of the obstacles along the way. People get hurt, but not really, and it seems the body shouldn't bend that way in some instances. This was a short review compared to my recent reviews, but thanks for reading!

The American version of the Japanese monster hit "Takeshi's Castle" pits a group of 12 Americans battling it out on a giant (funny) obstacle course where they get hit, splashed, punched, toppled, muddied and a lot more in their quest to win $50,000. Though the pilot had a few bugs (we don't know anything about the contestants and it tends to be one unknown person after the other getting soaked or hit in the groin--granted, that worked for "AFV") it also had some bonuses the Japanese show did not have. Namely, the comedy of former "Talk Soup" host John Henson (ABC is a funnier place with him on the network) and hotty Jill Wagner doing sideline reporting. Jill is not only a BABE, but pretty good at what she does, too.

I'm sure they will make adjustments along the way, but after seeing the first show, there's enough promise to give it a try this summer. Check it out!
