DISQUS

I predict that hole-in-the-wall will great ratings the first night but it will dwindle overtime for the obvious that it’s a one trick pony.

If you type “Japanese Game Show” in to youtube you’ll notice that most of these games are apart of variety shows. On these variety shows they do these games for a certain number of times and then they are usually off for good.

So what I think “hole-in-the-wall” should do is incorporate it self in to another show like a talk show. I think David Letterman or Ellen would be a perfect home this kind of show.

It’s a shame really I do like this game but to make it in to it’s own show is ridiculous.

I pretty much had my doubts about this show from the moment I first heard about it, but watching how the Aussies put it together made the concept seem a bit more solid, almost to the point where I (gasp!) might like it. But you're right, it is kind of a hard trick to turn one segment into a whole show, so they're going to have to wow me in other ways. In other words, don't go to a commercial every time a wall is four feet from a contestant. (Sometimes I'm easy to please, but in the hardest way possible...)

I'll most likely watch this. I think that as long as we don't have any 2 hour specials of this, or 5 night events or whatever, it should do OK.

Isn't it obvious that fatties will break the wall? Funny but predictable.
Seeing the preview, the show is extremely tough. It is nice to have a show where people can laugh and have a great time even though they look like an ass doing so. I'll tune in.
