Ninja Warriors

[Ryanwb]

Anyone watch this show on G4? They're having a marathon today....

It's a show out of Japan where they do these obstacle courses and other feats of strength. Some of this stuff they have to do takes crazy strength. Most of this stuff requires you to be 5' 2" and nimble as a cat. I only saw 1 white dude on there and he was a gymnist (ie, midget)

I really only like it when people biff, but that's just me

I love them asians!

The faceplants into the edges that lead to them falling into the water are just good T.V.

Japanese culture is so weird. Half naked women running through obstacle courses in what appears to be winter.

These are two totally unrelated thoughts.

I pay like $80 a month for my HD digital feed, and I don't get G4.

I pay $74.00 a month for DirecTV and get 150 HD channels, HBO, Starz and Showtime and all the other crap I never watch

150 HD channels? Seriously? I knew they were coming out with new channels, but they have already rolled that many out?

Ninja Warrior is addictive. Weird how I'll watch it, but if it were an American version, I probably wouldn't.

They had the American Olympic team competing and they totally sucked. You have to be asian for that type of drama

Plus, Americans tend to be bulkier and heavier. It's more of a nimble and wirey sort of sport.

nope, still only the regular HD channels, but they keep saying 'soon' for the rollout.....we'll see what 'soon' means in the world of HD satellite programming......i'm guessing their soon and my soon aren't the same things.....

but i do love G4 and Ninja Warrior, my sons and i watch it all the time.....G4 also has lots of Arrested Development episodes, cool!

There is no such thing as "regular HD channels." Either the channels source material in HD or not. Your set top box may try to convert the image to 720p or 1080i, but if the source material is 480, it is not HD.
