What Parents Need to Know
This review of MXC was written by Lucy Maher
Parents need to know that although at first glance this show might appear to be a typical (if goofy) reality competition series, it's really an elaborate spoof of over-the-top Japanese game shows. All of the dialogue has been newly dubbed for the English series, and all of the characters (including the hosts) are fictional. Each episode has a "plot" of sorts in which two diametrically opposed teams duke it out for the championship, but, really, the series' main attraction is watching people compete in strange physical challenges and obstacle courses that usually result in them getting beaten up like human pinatas. It's exactly the kind of humor teen boys love, though parents may not get the appeal.
Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about healthy competition. What is sportsmanship? How can you make sure you do your best to attain your goal while also playing fair? Why do you think people cheat in competitions? What do you like best about this show -- the silly dialogue or the face-plants? Why?

Is It Any Good?
Vic and Kenny's sarcastic narration can wander into iffy territory (for example, when one said to the other, "How many records does Lil Trim have?" and the other replied, "I dunno, but have you seen her Golden Globes?), and Asian stereotypes are sometimes played for laughs. But overall, MXC is basically just inane humor for the easily amused. Your inner 12-year-old will love it.

HILARIOUS!!!
I love MXC. It's really funny at times because of the fact that it's a Japanese game show, and those r crazy enough. Add the knee-slapping voiceovers and you've got yourself a show that's freaking hilarious. There's some innuendo, and extreme comic violence in the competitions. Also, the reporter's name is Guy LeDouche, so you'd expect him to be a gay stereotype, right? Yes, though it's in good clean fun.
