Has anybody seen "Hole in the Wall". It's a show on Fox where people have to fit through holes cut into a moving wall. They compete as teams and at the end, the winning team tries to guide their blind-folded teammate through one last hole. There's also a really annoying hostess that does play by play and interviews.

This has got to be the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Is this something that Fox stole from Japan?? It kinda reminds me of MXC, but worse.

I didn't see it, but you're right -- it's a copy of a massively popular Japanese show.

I only caught the last few minutes of it. I will probably watch again. The premise is so absurd, I need to see it just for some good laughs.

I saw an ad for it and was like but now that I hear it's a copy of a Japanese show, it makes more sense. Well, a little more.

The Japanese version of this game is hilarious:


YouTube - Human Tetris The Grand Master 4 (Japanese Show) -- this is why it's massively popular.

Leave it to Fox to **** up the American version. It uses annoying announcers, dramatic lighting, and WAY too much camera movement. I'm totally disappointed in these sneak previews. This could've been much better but was a total let-down.

I watched some of the Japanese version on YouTube a few months ago. I agree it is hilarious. I haven't checked out the American version and probably won't.

Ok, there's nothing else on right now. I'm watching. Kind of entertaining. Not as bad as it sounded.

Shows like this are the prime example of how downhill TV has gone in recent years.

Default yea.... i think Fox is running out of ideas

i know what you are talking about because it just went off (Eastern Standard Time)
my mom was watching it and the only reason I saw it was because the computer and t.v. is in the same room...soo....
and yes they did get the idea from a Japanese t.v. show(which is better in my opinion)
As for me I really didn't like it maybe it was the hostess
She was just so....ANNOYING is the only word I can really find to describe her
I give this show maybe 3 weeks(atleast) and it will be cancelled.
