Human Tetris Coming to America!

If you have followed this blog, you are aware of my love of the Japanese television show nicknamed 'Human Tetris'. While part of me hoped something like it would show up here in the states, I was concerned American TV execs and producers would totally slaughter the version produced here.

On a Fox and Friends segment of Fox News, it was announced that FOX will be airing an American version of the Japanese show. Stay tuned for more news and updates. It will be interesting to see how the American version stacks up to the Japanese one.

If you were the decision-maker for the American version of Human Tetris, what would you do with the show in order to appeal to American audiences? Who would you choose to make up the teams, and what type of cutouts would you use? Would it be water (cold, hot, or comfortable) or something else in the pool?

Japanese TV: Human Tetris 6

I was so happy to find another installment online of the Japanese show, nicknamed 'Human Tetris'. I think this show is hysterical, and I love how more and more they are including things which help understand the show better, such as the illustrations of how the contestants could get through the cutouts. They are even using English words on some of the wall cutouts.

I wonder if they will add English subtitles? That would be awesome!

So, without any further ado, here is installment #6 of 'Human Tetris':

This is a show I believe is called "Hyper" and features some of the 'Human Tetris' guys making shapes on a pegged wall with their bodies. I really wish there were English subtitles!

As far as Japanese television, and any international television shows, really, there are some shows which are really risque or even sick . . .and others are just downright creative and hysterically funny.

American television producers could learn a lot from the good, clean fun of international entertainment.

What do you think about international television versus American television?
