Thanks to ABC TV, "regular" Americans are finally going to be introduced to the delightful wackiness of Japanese game shows.
According to trailers running on the broadcaster's website, I Survived a Japanese Game Show, will feature 10 Americans who've been "kidnapped" to Japan to compete for $250,000 on one of those insane programs that we've been reveling in for years (you know, the kind where contestants are covered head to toe in velcro bug suits and then shot out of a cannon to see who can land most skillfully on a fabric covered wall located on the other side of the studio).
The fun starts on June 24. No word yet on whether the show will be broadcast here in Japan too.
