Game shows
Japanese people are CRAZY! Their well known for their weird, yet hilariously entertaining game shows.
On my exchange to Japan, I noticed there is just game show after game show from about 3pm onwards..
For example a Japanese/American show that is currently showing on TV in New Zealand : I Survived a Japanese Game Show.
It basically consists of about 10 Americans going to Japan and taking part in a Japanese game show called 'Majide'（まじで）(meaning "seriously?!?" or "You've got to be crazy?"). The winner receives $250,000. It is a show within a show, and follows the American's lives in Japan also.
With its crazy host Rome Kanda(ろめ．かんだ）, and the VERY excited audience, its not hard to see why this is such a popular part of Japanese culture.
