Anyone else see the commercials ABC has been running for their ultra-lame looking MXC ripoff Wipeout? First of all, the MXC love-affair ended in tears years ago. Secondly, if you're going to copy the show, at least make it as funny and interesting. This new show is anything but. The commentary is awfully unfunny and it looks like the show copied the least interesting stages from now twenty-year old material. Yes, twenty years. And this is the best ABC can do? Really?
Someone might ask (but won't) why I would provide a link (and thus a plug) to a show that I clearly think poorly of. Why? Why? Because to see that show is to know it's pathetic soulless heart. No one who sees the clips of that show could possibly be moved to actually watch it. Follow that link. Watch a clip. I dare you. I double-dog dare you.
As for ABC, they will suffer the rotating surfboard of death:
...or bad ratings, probably bad ratings. But if they have a contestant named baba ganoush, I'm calling Beat Takeshi. Seriously. And Guy LaDouche. Get it on!
