I've seen "Wipeout" before, even though I've never seen an episode of it before last night. That's because "Wipeout" is an american version of "Takehashi's Castle" which was repackaged for america as "MXC's Extreme elimination." Basically, contestants run across a rube goldbergesque obstacle course falling into the water below as they are bonked senselessly. It is all good fun, and I really enjoyed the catapult at the end!
I really, really want to enjoy the reborn "Futurama," but I'm not 100% there yet. Last night's episode involving the "eye phone" was a bit trite and pat. I did enjoy seeing the return of MOM, but parts of it felt like it could have been on any "edgey animated show," specially the 'Susan Boil' gag which was straight 'Family Guy' material. The old gang still make me smile though, so I'll keep watching for now.
STRANGE SPANNERS being an accounting of strangeness of the warp and woof of my mind For those of you new here, think of this as 1/2 "Night Gallery" Our Motto: Nos somnium quisnam es futurus fatum quod insolitus tutus vos!
