Release the Hounds started out ok but then it got increasingly obviously edited/staged and I lost interest.

They burnt through all the good comedians way too fast so the last few series have been predominantly just “this person who was funny once on that thing” or straight up “you have never heard of this person but trust me they’re famous”

I'd never heard of a single person on this show (including the hosts) and some of the later seasons have been incredible.

Also this, Guy Mongomery was the only one I knew going in but by the end I loved all five of them. Jeremy Wells still isn't exactly what i'm after in a Taskmaster, but Paul Williams as the assistant was perfect

It is such an indictment on how bad US Taskmaster was set up when I knew more people on the NZ version than the US version.

Also I should have specified that it's the US rights that need to be bought out. UK version needs zero changes or meddling

…I thought Taskmaster was referring to the Marvel Comics character that’s a baddie who can mimic any movement or action he sees, making him an incredibly good fighter. excitement has been massively diminished by learning it’s a drat game show.

$65? I'll wait til someone makes a different version that's stylized to avoid copyrighting

there were a lot of weird low budget video game shows all throughout europe and specifically the uk. but i don't believe any of them were like nick arcade. now let's sit back and watch an episode of Bad Influence

Would The Gamesmaster count? That only comes to mind because they decided to do their finale in a mockup of hell.

Also had a killing move list and put in some scotsman's head decapitation into headbutt from some Atari Jaguar fighter as the top one
