Howdy ladies and germs,

Just wanted to see who among us yankees is watching "MXC" (aka Takeshi's Castle). Personally, I'm still shocked to see it on American television.

I'm especially curious to hear from folks who weren't familiar with the original show and what they think of this quirky 80s Japanese game show. Also... if anyone is totally confused by it (totally understandable... the dubbing and heavy editing make it totally unclear what the point of the show is), I would be more than willing to answer any questions folks may have about it.

Oh, and for those who have NO idea what I'm talking about, tune in to TNN (soon to be Spike TV) on Saturday nights at 9:00. Trust me, you'll be happy you did.

Yeah I've been watching it... the dubbing does make the show funnier, but it's only been on for like a month and it's already in repeats. Did they only dub like 8 episodes?

I like this show. The dub isn't so bad either. I like the funny jobs they make up for the contestants.

As I've stated in posts elsewhere, I still find myself entranced by this series, like someone who watches those crash video shows on tv. It also helps that the show always seems to be on during the weekend whenever I flip by the New TNN soon to be called the new Spike tv. Whew!

The only info I can ever find online, is the about the original show Takeshi's Castle or playhouse or whatever.

I just get a kick out of the one host who sounds like one of the robots from MST3K.

The meat handlers VS. the cartoon voice over artists! Hilarious! I especially like the MXEC crew, like the artillery crew. Also the Whacko Bell ( I am not getting paid to mention the brand name, so I will not! ) High impact replay!
