DESCRIPTION
This critically acclaimed comedy series can thank a popular Japanese game show from the 1980s for much of its success. It uses the actual footage from ``Takeshi's Castle,'' which tested contestants' pain threshold by putting them through a series of bizarre physical challenges (think ABC's ``Wipeout'' but much more extreme) and crazy games for prizes. The fun, and much of the laughter, in ``MXC'' is provided by the dubbed English narration, featuring voice actors from the Groundlings comedy troupe, that has no resemblance to the original show's dialogue whatsoever.
