lol. Takeshi's Castle on Challenge tv, good choice!

 

[DECK'ARD]

Takeshi's Castle's great!

 

[GDJustin]

Takeshi's Castle's great!

Yes. Yes it is.

 

[Kobun Heat]

What is Takeshi's Castle like in the UK?

 

[JJConrad]

Is that the show where they "translate" a japanese game-show so that everybody is a pervert?

 

[Justin Bailey]

Yeah, this is Most extreme elimination challenge in the US - comes on Spike TV, I love that show

 

[speedpop]

Too bad the UK version has a TERRIBLE dub commentator.

They should just leave it in Japanese, Takeshi himself sounds more interesting than that spoony bard.

I enjoyed the US version quite a bit actually but I wish they aired the original and unmodified. Then again it probably would have been taken off within a week.

I would love to see it aired as intended too, but as MXC, it's still more than amusing enough for me.

Why hasn't Takeshi's Castle been made into a party game - or has it? When I first saw the MXC I thought "so that's how they thought of Mario party".

In a previous thread about MXC, someone made note of the fact that the show was so old there's a Famicom game based on it.

 

[Mermandala]

Thanks! forgot just how old it was, still wonder if a drunken nintendo developer said "hey, remember that keerazy show?" Spinning mushrooms man.

 

[ourumov]

Do they still do Takeshi's Castle ???

SHIT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


THis is one my favourite SHOWs ever. My childhood's personal myth I always wanted to play in one edition.

Did you just call Craig Charles terrible?

"Smeg off"

Yep!

Isn't that the guy who hosts Robot Wars here in the US? Sure as hell looks like him.

 

[Meier]

MXC is so fucking funny. Arguably the most underrated comedic writing on TV IMO.

 

[Rocket Punch]

I love it, especially the MOST PAINFUL ELIMINATION OF THE DAY!

 

[radioheadrule83]

Craig Charles rocks... I love Beat Takeshi, but I've grown to like Charles' constant innuendo. He must be paid pittance for it.

Good choice in sponsering the show, it fits... but I don't know how many people watch it on Challenge. If it were moving to terrestrial TV or one of the higher rating satallite/cable channels over here, I'd understand.

 

[SolidSnakex]

"I can see your mommy bags! Ooh Guy likes!"

 

[Prine]

Craig Charles is brilliant. I love his commentry, one of the main reasons why i was attracted to the show.
"Happy, clappy, slappy. jappy!"
