OK, it’s summertime - there’s a dearth of stuff to watch on televsion, so I slum a little with my Tivo, looking for anything that might be vaguely entertaining. From the TV commercials, it seemed like ABC’s new show Wipeout might be kind of entertaining.

Unfortunately that’s not the case.

At this point you may be wondering just what exactly Wipeout is. It’s basically a reality show that consists of regular people trying to make it through an elaborate obstacle course. Essentially it’s a rip-off of the most-excellent Ninja Warrior which airs on the cable network G4.
