Do we think the American dub of the show is either a comedy show or game show? I'd say it was a comedy show-even if they are using footage from a game show  Plus comedy shows are fake-what I mean by that is comedies arne't really true,like the contestants are from 2 teams/industries but in reality they are normal people taking part in a Japanese game show-hope everyone understood that! |

Silly question regarding the Japanese and international series of TC. But why is it that in, for example, the UK version they dub the characters names from what they were originally called in the Japanese series? Eg: Hayato Tani is called General Lee, in the UK series.  WHY?!?! I was initially confused when I joined the boards and I wondered who the heck Tani was, because I was none the wiser. Lol.  |

I think the changed names in the UK version were just a case of nobody on the production team knowing the real names when they started so Craig just made 'em up and then later when they found out (if they did) they just left them 'cause the viewers knew the names that they'd given them.

Craig did call General Lee Tani once in the Monsters Special when he was in the castle,I remember Craig saying "it's a club Tani now!"
Also in the Tour Of Japan specials where we hear him calling The Rainbow Warriors Pop and Corn

MXC tries to be both. The Takeshi/Higashi sketches are the comedy bit for sure. The game show part didn't work well coz they tried to make each contestant part of a team, and give them rediculous American names and occupations.
MXC provides valuable insight into Takeshi's Castle asa whole but will NEVER match the UK version with Craig's commentary.
