I am not a fan of gameshows in general. However, I really enjoyed this so far. It isn't like typical US gameshow fare. I've seen others say, and I have to agree, that it is very much like the Japanese game shows. It is outrageous, it is very physical, and it serves up the laughs. Right now, it is the perfect addition to the evening lineup. This fills the need for an evening show that families can watch together. Ellen is always funny and charming, even when she's about to drop someone thirty feet into a pool of gross mush. It is not at all cerebral. It will not stimulate a single neuron in your brain. If that is what you want, you should watch Jeopardy. But if you want to laugh for no reason, an excellent choice. I'm giving this a top score because it is exactly what it is supposed to be, not rating it low because it isn't something it didn't pretend to be. If I were to give advice on how it could be better, Ellen could throw in some more one-liners so it doesn't rely only on physical comedy for laughs.
