''MXC'' (an initialism of ''Most Extreme Elimination Challenge'') is an American comedy television program that aired on Spike TV from 2003 to 2007. It is a re-edit of footage from the Japanese game show ''Takeshi's Castle'' which originally aired in Japan from 1986 to 1990. The re-edit created a new completely rewritten storyline and new characters, as a dub was added that centered on the game show hosts narrating the action as people tried to win points for their teams by surviving through different challenges. In the original program ''Takeshi's Castle'', the characters Kenny Blankenship and Vic Romano are actually a count named Takeshi and his assistant creating challenges in order to fight off an opposing military leader and his troops. ''MXC'' was created and produced by RC Entertainment, Inc. in Los Angeles, California, and is the property of both Tokyo Broadcasting System (TBS) and RC Entertainment. The 2004 special episode ''MXC Almost Live'' is the property of Viacom International, which was filmed in Orlando, Florida by the producers of ''MXC''. In addition to this, ''MXCs distributor is Magnolia Home Entertainment. ==Episodes== (詳細は Usually, two or three teams of contestants compete in several turn-based and head-to-head challenges. The only episode done without a competitive team base was the first episode ever made, which was simply centered around the stereotypical antics of college girls. Even though this was the first episode made,〔DVD Audio Commentary for Season 1, Episode 7〕 it was the seventh episode of season one to air. Most other competitive teams do not truly have a real-life rivalry (e.g., Season 1, Episode 2 "Donors vs Addicts"), while others such as Democrats vs Republicans vs Third Party do. The contestants compete in a variety of challenges, usually four per episode, but occasionally as many as six. The challenges are extremely hard, and a majority of the contestants fail to complete the challenges. Throughout the show, painful failures to complete challenges are reviewed by Vic and Kenny in the "''MXC'' Impact Replay" (briefly renamed the "Foot Locker Impact Replay" and the "Norelco Impact Replay"), which is essentially a sports-themed playback feature. Occasionally, the Impact Replay is used for Kenny's pleasure, in looking at the female contestants, items, or random events in the series which he finds funny or disappointing. Contestants who do complete a challenge earn one or two points for their team (maybe even more). The team with the most points at the end of the episode wins the competition. At the end of each episode, Kenny counts down the ten "Most Painful Eliminations of the Day", which usually focus on the events shown in the Impact Replay, but sometimes includes random events that involved the main or recurring characters. Kenny and Vic, along with any other people around them at the end of the show, all end the episode by saying: "Don't get eliminated!" 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「MXC」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
