Instead of just importing a show and subbing or dubbing it, we should have random American companies buying the licenses to like 5 random seasons from 5 random animes, cutting them into pieces and Frankensteining them into one show with a new dubbed narrative that has nothing to do with the original source material, all with the sole purpose of selling old Japanese toys to American kids

Instead of Naruto and One Piece we could have Pirate Ninja Battleforce where Naruto and Luffy are brothers named Chuck and Bronson. Every once in a while there's a fight scene from Neon Genesis Evangelion spliced in

    You mean the game show? Is the new series any good?

    They showed the UK Craig Charles-narrated and heavily edited version of the old Takeshi's Castle on a local channel here like 15 years ago

    Some of the jokes were, uhh... a bit of their time. The phrase "Slappy Happy *appy Chappy" is burned into my brain

      It's definitely got a bigger budget now. The actual courses look much nicer. The studio segments are all on a green screen, though, and that doesn't look as good. Also Takeshi himself isn't really in it.
