Is This Bizarre Show Fox’s Ace in the Fall ‘Hole’? [No Whammies]
Is This Bizarre Show Fox’s Ace in the Fall ‘Hole’? [No Whammies]
There was a time when the aesthetic of the Japanese game show was thought to be too bizarre to translate to America, but the times, they are a-changin’. Hot on the heels of the summer hit Wipeout comes Hole in the Wall, a Fox remake of the Japanese show in which contestants contort their bodies to pass through a strangely-shaped hole in an advancing wall, lest they be knocked backwards into a pool. Sound simple? It is — gleefully so, as you’ll see from the clip (after the jump). We could have used some more J-pop songs or cute, lightning-spouting rat/dogs watching from the sidelines, but otherwise, we think we’ve found the crown jewel of the fall lineup. It’s bold for Hole in the Wall to premiere on the anniversary of September 11, but if this show can’t heal America’s wounds, what can?

The King Approves! [A Call To The Bullpen]
King Leonidas, aka Gerard Butler, appeared to be more enthralled by the women of New York City in their summer clothes than the latest and hottest script from Hollywood. Butler said, “I’m sorry, but that girl in the sun dress and that girl with the rolled up Juicy sweatpants that are way more compelling than William Monahan’s stab at a romantic comedy.” Butler pulled out another script from his messenger bag, but once again became distracted when a group of women exited a nearby Crunch. Butler threw the script back into his bag and promptly left the restaurant. Butler muttered under his breath, “Where does a man have to go to get some reading done in peace? The library? That place smells and it’s full of nerds!”
