We have this show over here called “Help! I’m in a Japanese game show”. Same concept as the US version “I survived a Japanese game show”. I get all upset every time I see that it’s on. First of all.. it’s all fake and nothing like the real Japanese game shows! It’s all so forced; everything from the audiences reactions to the lame host and the childish behavior from the contestants. Everything is way too simplified and commercialized. There is no charm to it what so ever. It’s not funny at all.
Second of all, I just feel like it’s a show aiming to mock the Japanese. Making them look like freaks and totally unintelligent.
And third of all the show, even tho it sucks, makes me miss Japan. And therefore I hate it even more! When I get there, I’m gonna spend an entire day just watching TV, getting some QUALITY SHOWS that are ORIGINAL! And not to mention some bad ass commercials :D
