Seriously?

Anyway... TV recommendation for tonight... Wipeout and I Survived a Japanese Game Show, both on ABC.  I saw the premieres last week and while I'm not sure I thought they were *good* shows, they were both *interesting* shows, and at least make me think someone at ABC is trying.  Wipeout is a mean-spirited game show where people get hit by things and fall down, and the hosts make fun of them even when it seems like they need medical attention.  I Survived a Japanese Game Show is a game show / reality show hybrid where they take a bunch of people to Japan, make them compete in a fake Japanese game show, and eliminate one each week.  The fun part is getting to see a little bit of Japan on TV.  The not fun part are the contestants.  Each show worth giving a chance, I think, although I don't know if they're worth any more than that.
