They're on YouTube I think. Also random torrent sites if you want higher quality.

If you have a VPN, you can also create an account on the official NZ TV streaming platform with nothing more than email address. This has the bonus that it'll show up in their rating numbers and keep the show going.

This NZ season is easily up there with Season 7 as best ever one imo. Cast is excellent, but they are really hitting it out of the park with the tasks. The rocking chair one was brilliant, but the Abe Lincoln one might one of my favorite. Seeing that bucket in the background of episodes is such a delight as well. "How well do you know Yu-Gi-Oh?"

It's eternally disappointing that the US dropped the ball so hard on its attempt and then the CW tried to just import the UK version and just stopped trying two episodes in

I believe that CW mistook it for a Marvel Taskmaster series, buying it before watching it.

They just picked up Season 10 of the UK version for broadcast, aired two episodes and then replaced it with reruns of another show because of terrible ratings or something.

Not as bad as the really hosed-up Spanish version but definitely worse than all the Scandinavian ones. (Never found the Belgian one, apparently that's quite bad too.) E: talking about the US version, apparently it was comedy central. Unkempt fucked around with this message at 22:46 on Aug 12, 2021 |

Bertha the Toaster posted:Oh. That's dumb. Lack of trust for WB/The CW's part and lack of understanding for Viacom's part. They aired it on Comedy Central since that's the channel that the show would've fit for. But they don't even have the stable (or didn't want to pay for it) that they used to use for the roasts besides Lisa Lampenelli (who is terrible). Arguably NBC or Disney via ABC or Fox could definitely make it work. Both have a stable of comedians/comic actors they could pull from for one. ABC also runs a bunch of game shows with a rotating panel of the same sort of people that'd fit on Taskmaster during Winter and Summer drunken officeparty posted:"Let's cut down a 50 minute show to 20 minutes, not be allowed to swear, and hire the complete opposite of Greg Davies as the Taskmaster" Xelkelvos fucked around with this message at 22:57 on Aug 12, 2021 |

Might have said this before, but I really think that Australia ought to be the next frontier for Taskmaster (or at least, easily accessible English-speaking TM). Between recent panel shows like Have You Been Paying Attention and Patriot Brains (NZ produced but with an Australian team), plus previous comedy output like Chasers War on Everything, it really seems from my outsider perspective that they have the well of TV comedy to draw from. Surely they can't let their islander neighbours have all the fun?

David Correos may be the greatest Taskmaster contestant, no qualifiers necessary.

Yeah this is the reason that Taskmaster US failed. Fundamentally it's a panel show, you can have the best tasks ever but without the banter in judging you have nothing. Has there ever been a panel show in the US that has been successful? @midnight is the only one that comes to mind, and it's a VERY different vibe (sometimes good, but way more obviously rehearsed / scripted).

I’m kinda blown away that panel shows haven’t become more of a thing on twitch or YouTube. I suspect because editing actually plays a hugely important role in making a panel show entertaining? Twitch allows for none, and what’s popular on YouTube is not heavily produced content.

I've been thinking about this for a while, but I think Arcade Pit, Twitch game show run by one-time goon Smight, is actually a British panel show, not an American game show, despite the inspiration from shows like Nick Arcade and Jeopardy. An episode features 4 streamers with their own separate fanbases thrown into a set of arbitrary and unfair challenges, while the real entertainment mostly comes from the banter. I think it's basically a videogame Taskmaster with moderately successful streamers instead of comedians.

The '70s Match Game was a wild show, even considering the S&P restrictions of the day. Nothing very recent, though, at least not to my knowledge.

Made it to s10 now in my rewatch. I think I like it better with no audience. It feels more personal and real. Also, the last task of s9, where they had to do 7 different small tasks, I even went back and rewatched it and at no point I could find do they indicate you completely have to start over if you mess one up. But then it’s a whole big thing in the studio where it was a rule??

The American one also suffered from contestants not really willing to go all in the way they should. Only Freddie Highmore (who isn't even a comedian) and Ron Funches really threw themselves into it. The NZ one has been fantastic this season. Deserves to be as revered as highly as some of the original seasons are. Jeremy is still an insane scorer but it's my only real complaint.

It's like there's no good reason this show couldn't work over here, but the casting choices they made were, exactly, the worst case scenario at every turn. It was like they took the person who casts a comedy central roast and then found that person's intern with even worse taste and had them recommend someone even shittier to pick out a cast. Hell, even just Reggie Watts seems like a comedy answer you'd pick in a task to find the least-suited person to be taskmaster. pre-edit after scrolling down: lol it was comedy central so that's why the casting seemed as bad as comedy central I propose they just keep the UK show going for ten years and invite one suitable north american comedian per series, add an extra chair so the islanders aren't bumped off.

Does anyone know if Ed Gamble smokes? There’s the quickest 2 second shot of him building something that I swear looks like he has an unlit cigarette in his hand but I can’t really tell. It’s bothering me.
