LOL, miki where did you watch that program!? XD
Yes, I've seen that when I was a kid, too. And I liked it.

Maybe some other regular visiters in this forum have seen it also?
I think it was quite popular back then...

It's been shown here in the States on Spike TV as "Most Extreme Elimination Challenge" or "MXC", and it's funny as hell, what with the intentionally goofy dubbing of the hosts and whacked out participants, all of whom have more passion than common sense. And the games? Good Lord! Talk about insanely crazy stuff, no doubt dreamed up by loopjobs who went to the Marquis de Sade school of game show challenges. By the by, MXC recently came out here on DVD. FYI! Definitely worth watching!

Original program, Takeshi's Castle was aired in Japan during 1986-1989. Pretty old show, isn't it?
Similar shows such as "Kin'niku Banzuke", "Golden Mascle" or "Sasuke" followed in the early '90s as well.

I'm surprised to know that it's been aired in other countries like the US or the UK... ^_^

Oh! I missed that question! Sorry.
To answer that, YES. Yes, I've seen several people did win, and won 1 million Yen!! (About US$8,475??)

Yes, it did get aired in the U.S. recently, as another poster mentioned, under the title "MXC". The dub of it was not exactly faithful to the original program, though... it was more of a parody dub, and the hosts and contestants were given various funny-sounding names, that sometimes sound kind of H. Here's more info about the U.S. version, if Cuedoinkies is interested in reading more about it: MXC - Wikipedia
