I can’t figure out why this show isn’t on DVD yet. It’s definitely a guilty pleasure of mine, but the dubbed commentary by the two announcers consistently makes me laugh.

Surely I am not the only person that feels this way.

Anyone hear anything about this show being released on DVD soon? Ye gods, Spike TV released “Joe Schmo” on DVD, and it wasn’t one-quarter as good as MXC is on its worst day.

Well, I understand where you’re coming from, but as long as Spike is keeping the first “season” in rotation in the Thursday night reruns, there’s not much point in putting out a DVD … yet. Someday it’ll happen. Or, if you’re impatient, get a DVD recorder! 🙂

I’d like to see the source material, that Japanese game show that MXC is culled from. I understand that there is also a version of MXC in the UK, too.
