Season 1

In Seasons 1 and 2 of MXC, audiences are introduced to an outrageous comedy competition. This parody of an extreme sports challenge was the forerunner and inspiration for such shows as Wipeout and I Survived a Japanese Game Show. Using the existing footage and death-defying games from the hit Japanese series, Takeshi’s Castle, the American producers created a totally new show and characters, completely revamped and rewritten to give the series an edge it never had before. Led by its genial hosts, Vic Romano and Kenny Blankenship, some of the more memorable challenges include Cops vs. Cons, Donors vs. Addicts, Meat Handlers vs. Cartoon Voice Actors, and Physical Fitness vs. Music Industry. In the episodes, contestants risk life and limb in a series of bone-breaking games such as Log Drop, Sinkers and Floaters, The Rotating Surfboard of Death, and Brass Balls.
