What Parents Need to Know
About Wipeout
Parents need to know that, as in the Japanese series it's loosely modeled after, much of this reality/game show's entertainment value comes from watching contestants "wipe out" during the competition in embarrassing ways. Expect some mild sexual innuendo and words like "hell" (iffier terms are fully bleeped out), as well as a healthy dose of typical game show greed. Remind kids that while many of the stunts seem silly or harmless, they can cause serious injury if tried at home.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about game shows. Why do you think people compete in crazy, humiliating, or scary challenges? Is it just for the money, or is there something else that motivates them? Do you think any of the challenges go too far?
- Are any of your favorite shows originally from another country? How do you think the American version differs from the original?
- Do you think there are shows from other countries that wouldn't work in the United States, or vice versa? Why?

great for tweens and up

It's a harmless show where idiots throw themselves at the mercy of a revolving deathtrap. I prefer it to Funniest Home Show Videos, that show is awful. The thing that keeps the show moving is the commentary, that's pretty funny. They keep on constantly poking fun at the contestants.
- I rate this title on for age 8 and give itMy concerns are:
- Inappropriate sexual content
Good for a laugh
This show is always good for a good laugh. If the host would stop saying "big balls" (in reference to one of the obstacles) I'd be inclined to watch it more often. All in all it's good silliness.

Comical commentary saves this silly show
The people falling gets old after a little while, but the Michael's commentaries are what keeps this show refreshingly funny. Nothing objectionale.
