MXC: Most Extreme Elimination Challenge, Season 3 [2 Discs] [DVD]

The current trend of spoofing actual Japanese game shows on American TV is a long time coming. If you are reading this, you already know what MXC is about. But how is volume 3? Volume 3 contains 13 episodes, but not much else. As far as special features go, there are basically none. A first time viewer beginning with volume 3 would have very little understanding of the actual nature of the Japanese show. If you want background, you have to go to seasons 1 & 2. One aspect of this entire volume is the double entendre, or constant dirty jokes and references to human anatomy. At times, the jokes can seem outright cruel. Anyway... the episodes are a guilty pleasure, and I'm glad to have it in my collection.

If you are looking at this DVD, you probably are a fan. But as a fan I was a little disappointing with what came with this. Season 3 was 26 episodes plus the Almost Live special. This is just thirteen episodes without the Almost Live. In fact, it isn't titled "Season 3" but "Volume 3." So, thirteen episodes of a good show, and that is about it. it does contain one episode of Takeshi's Castle for for special feature wise that is pretty much it. (Plus the Top 25 Painful Eliminations, but that is kind of a weak extra in my opinion) No commentary or anything. So, it lacks the full season, it lacks "Almost Live" and it lacks special features. if you are a fan of the show and want to watch some episodes over and over again, get it. But if you are looking for more then what was on TV the first time, it is a definite pass.

This show is hilarious. I got this for my mom for her birthday and she absolutely loves it.
