    Five stars for Takeshi’s Castle.

    Negative five stars for MXC’s ‘dub job’. Sorry, I just don’t find crudity (especially that level of crudity) entertaining.

    Takeshi’s Castle itself is an amazing show. So good I would watch MXC on TV with the volume muted. Give us the original Takeshi’s Castle with english subtitles (if only to find out if the Japanese have as low a taste in humor as the producers of MXC).

    MXC is great! 5 stars for whit and humor and an awsomely entertaining show. But sadly after you realize how much is cut from the original (from 1 hour down to 20 mins per episode) one is filled with a lot of sadness for what one is missing. It is sad that American corporations controlling what we watch have to butcher this great show down to a mear touch of its original. Sader even so that the script writers had to pander to this to get their dream on the air. Such is the American corporate way. Such is the corporate perception of the average American intelligence level and attention span. Watching the original Japanese, or the foreign versions such as the Spanish or the uncut German versions gives one a totally different impression of the show and makes one very depressed at the 1/4 pint version available here on DVD. How I wish American versions of foreign films and shows werent so highly censored! Pretty much the same as communist censorship except this isn’t the government doing it . Well over a hundred different great challenges and a similar number of shows whittled down to 30 odd games and 13 shows (albeite this is just the first season). How great would it have been to have Kenny and Vic voice over an hour for each unedited original show! I think all MXC / Takeshi’s Castle fans would have raved. So zero stars for good old American corporate censorship and 5 for great humor of Vic, Kenny and the gang = 3 stars overall.

    If you like the show because of Takeshi’s work then you’ll dislike this DVD. The Americans sure know how to ruin some hilarious material.

    I found this DVD quite offensive to it’s presenters and participants…the commentators are totally lame.

    On the other hand, if you’re in to this type of commentary and you’ve seen the show before then I’m sure it will live up to your expectations.

    The one good thing about this DVD was the original Japenese episode, it was great to see the little storyline they put into each episode which is not included in the UK and US version.

    5/5 for Takeshi, 0/5 for the commentators.

    was very disappointed in the time it took to be delivered. Over 6 weeks. It was a xmas gift for someone. It was ordered mid November and it arrived after the new year.
