I was watching at the start of the summer, but they keep showing the same shows. Other then that it's funny as hell! I love the comments dubbed over.

It's cool that Beat Takeshi is one of the hosts, but I hate all the changes they make to the show to try to make it more "funny" to American males. It's funny enough on its own - they don't need to add stuff like "Porn Industry vs. Gamblers" and all that crude humor (which isn't funny at all IMO). Of course, judging by the rest of what's on that network, I shouldn't be surprised by what they do to this show.

It's a classic. It aired around 5-10 years ago here. We love the episodes where Ultraman appears and helps the contestants.

Actually I rather like the humor they add in. I'm fully aware of what the original show was like and I want to see it done in that format, but honestly I like the crass humor they dub in. I find that if I just relax and not try to make comparisions with the original it's still quite enjoyable.

It's dirty and mean and stupid, but that's *exactly* the kind of humor I'm looking for on hard days when I just want to unwind. It's the same reason talk shows at night are stupid.

Yeah, I agree. The takes are funny enough as it is. I mean, is that naughty stuff needed? Well, unfortunately, for the network it is on, yes.

Just realised from a google search that Takeshi Kitano was the guy who played the teacher in Battle Royale.

Woah.
