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!

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.
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!
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.
