Something Good on the Telly

I have been enjoying the new season of Wipeout. For those that don't know, it's an outdoor obstacle-course game-show. But unlike most game-shows this is literally LOL funny; even the hosts are amusing as they nickname and gently mock the contestants as they, once again, get boosted though the air into water by another foam-padded fiendish contraption. And unlike those home-video shows it's totally ok to laugh because these people volunteered to get punched in the head with a boxing glove on a pole into a mud-bath or bounce repeatedly off giant red inflatable spheres into a pool (the famous "Big Balls"). That stuff just never gets old.
