Anyone else watch this show? It's kinda like a (Japanese) game show, with big obstacle courses and funny commentary. Nothing ground-breaking, no plots, just people falling and getting hit by stuff and competing for 50 grand. It's in my book one of the best shows you can watch when everything else is in reruns. I never get tired of seeing contestants bounce back and forth on the "Big Balls" or get hit in the face by a "Sucker Punch".
Here's some links:

I watched this once or twice when it first came out. It is funny to see people fall(when isnt it really) but the commentators kinda annoy me. I watched this other show called 'ninja warrior' way before this one and I liked it better. I guess it was just timing, If I saw this first I guess I would be more into it.
Ever catch that 'Hole In The Wall' show? Now thats original and funny!
I saw a commercial for the Hole one but haven't caught it yet. I guess ABC was being sued because Wipeout was too much like MXC. So yeah, nothing original. They're all based on old Japanese game shows anyway. Speaking of old Japanese shows, I've gotten back into Iron Chef reruns on Fine Living Network. Good stuff, much better than the American Iron Chef. I like watching them cook stuff I'd never eat, since I don't eat seafood and that's like 75% of the show...
In a land of wonderous things...
