Most Extreme Elimination Challenge (MXC) is an American comedy television program that aired on TNN TV from
April 19, 2003 to February 9, 2007. It is a re-purpose of footage from the Japanese game show Takeshi's
Castle, which originally aired in Japan from 1986 to 1990. The re-purposed MXC created a completely new
premise, storyline, and characters, with two teams competing against each other à la a typical team sports
broadcast and players trying to win points for their teams by surviving through different challenges. In the
original program the Count and his underlings would follow the progress of the players as they moved throug
the course. In the re-purpose Count Takeshi became veteran network announcer Vic Romano and the Count's flunky
became young upstart Kenny Blankenship... For more information go to
