Ok, so taking a game show from Japan, and dubbing it. Great idea. Don't know if anybody's ever seen this show, but its great. Its on Spike TV, and right now they are having a Marathon Monday of it.

Every commercial I've seen for that (admittedly, not many) has annoyed me endlessly.

Just give it a chance. It'll probably be on tomorrow sometime between 10 and 11.

I find it hilarious. Sometimes the dubbing is annoying, but the fact that this was an actual gameshow in Japan is just hilarious. Wonder what they think of dropping giant acorns on people over there?

Hey, you know, it worked for Food Network and the Iron Chef.  I love watching that program, and I bet it's funnier dubbed into English than it is in Japanese.

It's only now and again that I catch it, but I enjoy it when I see it.

I, however, don't care for "Spike TV."  Well, except for the Star Trek reruns that make up most of the programming schedule.

I love this show, and find it hilarious that many times the porn industry competes. The main rivalries are between them and..I think it was the dental workers? Or something like that...
