It's just the next step in our long descent into oblivion. People will watch it precisely because it's so ridiculous. It looks like something that's probably been done already in Japan, and I've seen several other Japanese-inspired game shows advertised, so clearly, the American TV execs are banking on our appetite for the absurd and shocking to increase. It's probably a safe bet.

In a few years or so, Idiocracy will be reclassified as a documentary because of crap like this.

Oh, to answer Matt's quesrtion, the only shows I'll watch this year will be 30 Rock, The Office, How I Met Your Mother and, if it doesn't suck as bad as it did at the end of last season, My Name is Earl.
