Why Aren’t You Watching Ninja Warrior?
Today’s theme is TV you should be watching (or are awesome if you are.)
This post centers around Ninja Warrior, a show on G4 — which is apparently unaware that there are no other previous “G” channels but genius enough to get the syndication rights to Arrested Development. Ninja Warrior is essentially a Japanese program about a ridiculously difficult obstacle course. How ridiculously difficult you ask? So ridiculously difficult that only on person has completed it in its history. One. A single person. (Ok, according to Wikipedia, theres been two, I guess the American broadcasts of it aren’t caught up yet. And these are no slouches. (Well, there are some slouches, but the comically fall into disgusting water early on.) There are some world class athletes participating. Look, it’s American gymnast/twin Morgan Hamm. Let’s see how he does. I sure hope there’s a Japanese announcer who will make his attempt at stage 1 of 4 sound like a Homeric epic.
Yeah, you’re right, it is freaking awesome and probably the purest athletic competition on television. Also, people hilariously fall into gross, muddy water when the screw up. Plus there’s an over-the-top Japanese announcer who’s translated play-by-play is amazingly verbose.
