    It's actually a copy of a Japanese show, so apparently TV hit a new low long before :)
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    Modern Japanese culture can't be described in common terms like "low." It's a whole seperate realm of bizarre inhuman weirdness.

    There was another show that was circulating on spike tv called MXC. That show was hilarious with all the stupid games they had there. A lot of those falls look really painfull too, but the best part is the instant replays.

    I found MXC great because of the hilarious voice dubbing. The one liners could put you in stitches.

    Hole in the wall however, seems to be a complete waste of time and money. I give it half of a season before Fox pulls the plug. Hmmm, then again, Fox only cancels good shows with loyal followings and high ratings. This might be here for some time! ;)

    OK, I got watch this show last night and it was absolutly fantastic!

    Utter stupidity! Childish entertainment and the most fun I've had watching TV since Battle Bots was on TV!

    I'd comment on the artictic merit but, there isn't any!

    I'd comment on the intellectual stimulation and excellently written script but, there isn't any!

    It's just a big styrofoam wall moving toward you and it highlights stupid people that are seemingly incapable of simple pattern recognition. It was quite amazing at how inept people are and it was throughly entertaining watching the sheeple wallow in their blissful ignorance, on display for the world to see, on national television.

    Like Disc jockey said, "It's glorious"!

    How long before Fox airs "Running Man", the game show series.
    We've been doing "goodspeak" for a while now. There is no concept
    too stupid not to become reality.

    What's the deal with the over-weight contestants and standard size cutout? Doesn't seem quite fair since they couldn't fit even if they got the pose correct. :confused: What makes it worse are those silver jumpsuits. Sure not flattering. :eek:

    Maybe the show's ulterior motive is to shame all the fatties.

    Seriously, if you're a big fat person, why go on a game show like that?

    Especially once you get a look at what you'll be wearing! :eek: Guess we should be glad they don't make them wear the tiny suits in the Italian version. :D

    I've given up on trying to find a BOTTOM for tv!
    I refuse to argue with idiots, because people can't tell the DIFFERENCE!

    I agree hole in the wall makes me laugh. The blind fold wall at the end is just great. I wish battle bots was still on the air

    On my cable box there are probably 500 channels. Of course there's a lot of crap. By sheer volume, the law of averages dictates there will be a TON of crap. But if you like good drama shows or even comedy, we are in a golden age, because for the same reason there is a lot of crap, there are quite a few gems. The Sopranos paved teh way for a new era of TV drama, and stuff like Mad Men is really picking up the slack left when the Sopranos and the Wire retired. If you like TV at all, I guarantee you can find something GREAT out there for you right now, and just ignore the crap. And if you don't like TV, just get rid of it and leave everyone alone to enjoy it.
