The Future Of Television

What isWipe Out? That's a good question. Nay, that's a wonderful question. Wipeout is the future of television when it come's to reality TV. It's got everything a dumb, uneducated, and easily entertained yokel could ever ask for. And to be fair to the creatorsof Wipeout, I did try watching some of it. Was I impressed is the real question?

No. I was not impressed with Wipeout, in fact I felt a little dumber after watching five minutes of it. The show's concept, or lack there of, is just going through some ball-busting obsticle courses. The courses consist of jumping from one giant red ball to the next, climbing a wall that has punching bags ready to hit you at any given moment, etc (what would etcetera even mean for a show like this?)

Seeing as how I didn't watch the show in its entirety, I cannot tell you what the winner (if there really is such a thing on the show) won, probably a grand winning of 50 G. However I do know this, everyone loses on the show, even the viewer.

One of the apparent advantages to watching the show, as to competing on it, is getting to hear the very "humorous" commentators by the name's of John Anderson, and Joh Henson. The pairing up of two guys who share the name John was the best decision on ABC's part, I mean lets face it, who would listen to the voice's of John and someone else not named John? The chemistry between John and John is what you'd think, they bicker about some things, but in the end they give us, the viewer, a quick laugh. And really that's what Wipeout really is all about?

Although the show seems like it would kill in the ratings, it does just as good as any other reality show on basic cable that's been running for three seasons about people getting hit, or bouncing off of things on ABC. The demographic is bigger than you think.

Oh yeah, there's also this chick who will do a brief interview with

each contestant before they sacrifice what little dignity they have. Her acting credit's include Punk'd and Blade: The Series, which says that she's got a lot going for her. She also has no other part in Wipeout, which is a real shame.

So thanks ABC, its good to know that Boy Meets World has been replaced. Well. Done.
