Wipeout

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!

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!

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.

Some people will never appreciate the 3 Stooges. I mean, this show is a live action America's Funniest Home Videos, if you honestly compare the themes repeated on that show, the clips that end up in the final 3 videos and I find it a refreshing reality show without the incessant undermining and cutting down fellow contestants that is the formula for current 'reality' shows. It may be due to the writers, but the quips that all 3 hosts add throughout the show are often more fun than the images of bodies tumbling off the big red balls. What I also like is, these people are going for their money and they earn it. Given the world's current obesity epidemic, anything that promotes physical efforts to the limit of one's capabilities is not to be dissed and aside from muddy water, the contestants aren't humiliating themselves by intentionally laying in boxes of scorpions or eating 6" long cockroaches. The people looking down their noses at this show likely enjoy watching the opening weeks of American Idol and feeling superior to those folks.

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!!!
