Oh, great! Another reality show on Sci-Fi

#1 Postby TexasStooge » Thu Dec 06, 2007 7:50 am

As the headline of the story says: "Sci-Fi show gives contestants "Run for Money".

Story Found Here

That's just what we need, another so-called "reality show" on the Sci-Fi channel.

And they even didn't bother to make science fiction related (ala Blade Runner or Running Man) this time around. .. :roll: Between the crappy movies, this and ECW wrestling, Sci-Fi Channel is turning into G4 Part 2

Surely another show that demonstrates how low humanity can go.

Based on a successful Japanese format,

Oh, what a surprise this is! :roll:

What are the hunters going to use to hunt?

The original Japanese show is probably better (example: Iron Chef)

Usually that is the case. Did you know that Iron Chef ended in 1999? I was quite surprised at that and they are still running the program on American and Canadian TV networks. Some hints of that though are the old cameras they were using and the mircophones had stark colour to them. The American one is still going.

The original Japanese show is more entertaining as is the case with every foreign import that has been "Americanized". The only exceptions are Kitchen Nightmares and The Office.
