"Takeshi's Castle; Is it good or bad?"

Has anyone seen this show on Trouble or Challenge? It's a show that they do in Japan and then the executive-producers pull Craig Charles away from his curries and he provides his voice to the show.

It's the best thing to come out of Japan as well as Shigeru Miyamoto!

and this makes it better because?

Or was that sarcasm?

I just love the way the Japanese are more than willing to smash all their teeth out, break a few ribs and risk a broken neck, all in the name of family entertainment.

We in the west, by comparison, are a bunch of lame faggots.

Gladiators is better, because it's safer, and the games are lamer.

Yes, you'll laugh at the antics of the japanese, while Craig Charles provides the voiceover.

You can bludgeon a Jap and he'll come out smiling. Crazy nation, de-sensitised to violence from Godzilla attacks.

If it was any other nationality i doubt it would work but there's just something about some Japanese lad running head long into a door that is funny. One of my favourite shows on TV although i do prefer the Canadian version of it where they have voiceovers for each contestant even though i do like Craig Charles.

It's been on for yeeeeeears.

I watched it loads about 2 years ago, then got bored.

The high rollers are still the best though, or maybe the gauntlet.

Brilliant! fully grown adult making a fool of themselve what else is funnier than that..I watch it many times.. I've not acually seen anyone won it. My favourite part is the bridge ball that's so hillarious to watch seeing someone almost fell outside the net. another good one was the doors..I can't believe the pain they suffer from it and still most just walk away without a problem. I've seen the foreigner special... when americans tried it... they weren't happy about.

I, most definitely, concur.
