Since the beginning of March, "Downtown Wednesday" (TBS series) is attacking more and more. Instead of verifying the "theory" as before, we are breaking up drastic projects that destroy existing variety.
"The Town of Water Day" (TBS series) has become more and more bold since march. It is no longer the verification of a certain "proposition" as in the past, but the continuous launch of bold plans that break the existing variety show conventions.

Two of the games that aired on The 10th were "The Monomane Championship Finals That No One Has Done Yet" and "CM Honto Dokkiri".
The programs broadcast on the 10th include two projects: "'The Battle for the Imitation King' That No One Has Done Yet" and "Advertising Shoots Disguised as Whole Tricks".
First of all, the former was a tournament where no one would have done it yet, and the top monomane artists of Akimasa Haraguchi, Masahiro Eharama, Hori, Yoshiaki Hanaka, Hikaru Miracle, Rei Maruyama, Mikan, Kintaro, Cozy Tomita, Razor Ramon RG, Mr. Orchihoko, and Kannazuki competed with gachinko.
The first is the former's "'Imitation King Battle' that no one has ever done yet" project is composed of Haraguchi Jingkuang, Masahiro Ehara, Masahiro Yoshiaki, Miracle Hikaru, Maruyama Rei, みかん, Kintaro, Hiroshi Tomita, レイザーラモンRG, Mr.シャチホコ, and Kamigaki performing imitations that no one has ever imitated.
What was symbolic was just after Holi won the championship. Akima Haraguchi, who should be disappointed by the first round defeat, said, "This is a real monomane program!" It shouted, and there was a scene where tsukkomi was put, "It is angry at Fuji and NTV" in the facilitator's Kendo Kobayashi.
A passage that can represent the particularity of the show is after the confirmation of the championship. Haraguchi, who regretted being eliminated in the first round, shouted, "This is the real imitation variety show!" ", the host Kobayashi Kendo complained that "Fuji TV and Nippon TV will be angry."
However, Haraguchi said, "This is what it is to say ,'Let's fight with a new story', and there are people who bring old neta by saying 'It's a new story'", and it was further rolled up and invited laughter. The production side used this because it is an anti-plan to Imitation Championship Decision Game (Fuji TV series) and Imitation Grand Prix (Nippon Television Network).
But Haraguchi continued to gush: "This is the real 'competition with new stems'." Some artists will claim to be 'new terriers' but continue to play with old terriers. It sparked a burst of laughter at the scene. The reason why the producers used this segment in the official program was because it was originally a project that was the opposite of "Imitation King Battle" (Fuji TV) and "Imitation Grand Prix" (Nippon Television).
Next, the latter "CM True Dokkiri" is a plan called cancellation because it is rude to the sponsor if it is appearance in real Coca-Cola "Kokido" CM and points out, "Dokkiri" though only really dokkiri happens.
The second is the latter's "disguised as a whole advertisement shooting", this project will invite artists to star in the real Coca-Cola "Lemon Hall" advertisement, but during the filming process, there will be various arrangements for the artist to suspect that this is not a "whole me" situation, if the artist proposes "this is not a whole deception" is a disrespect to the sponsor, it will be disqualified from appearing in the advertisement.
"Entertainers Seriously Thought About It!" (Fuji TV series), "Ningen Observation Variety Monitoring" (TBS series), "Wow! It was an anti-plan to the usual dokkiri with the feeling of being worn out in the "Dama-in-good award" (Nippon Television Network).
The two projects of "Mizumi Day's Downtown" are the opposite of "The Whole Trick GP that Artists Seriously Considered" (Fuji TV), "Human Observation" (TBS Department), "Whole People Awards" (Nippon Tv Department) and other whole-person routines that have been used as rotten ordinary whole-person programs.
The pleasure of cutting the variety in the middle of the de
The pain of breaking the routine of the signature variety show
Next, in the "Intelligence × Physical Fitness Mix Rule Showdown" broadcasted on The 17th, members of "The University of Tokyo" (TBS series) and entertainers will take a quiz showdown. With all the programs simply competing in quizzes, Downtown Wednesday showed new possibilities for quiz shows with the twists of loud × quizzes, frigid × quizzes, and insomnia × quizzes.
Next, in the "Intelligence × Physical Strength Mixed Rules Showdown" broadcast on the 17th, the members of the East King (TBS Department) and the artists conducted a guessing duel. Guessing variety shows are almost all competed by guessing, and "Downtown of Water Day" adds the creativity of "loud × guessing", "extremely cold × guessing", "no sleep × guessing", showing new possibilities for guessing shows.
The ultimate is the "30-1GP (Thirty One Grand Prix)" broadcasted on The 24th. This is a project to decide the most interesting entertainer in 30 seconds, with a total of 656 entries, Matsumoto Hitoshi, Ijuin Hikaru, Jinnai Tomonori, Kukki! The scale of the judges with bakarism was reminiscent of "R-1 Grand Prix" (Kansai TV and Fuji TV series) and "Female Entertainer No.1 Decisive Battle THE W" (Nippon Television Network), and there was a mood that "Downtown Wednesday" could show an example of "If it is our program, you can make it interesting this way".
The most exciting thing is "30 - 1gp" broadcast on the 24th. This is a project to decide on the most interesting funny artists in 30 seconds, with a total of 656 groups of entries, and a luxurious lineup of censors such as Matsumi, Hikaru Ijiin, Tomotsuno Shinuchi, Tomonobu Shinuchi, Tomonobu Tsuneshi, No!, バカリズム, reminiscent of the R-1 Grand Prix (Kansai TV, Fuji TV), and Female Funny Artist No. 1 Scramble THE W (Japanese Television Department). And "Downtown of Water Day" has a kind of demonstration momentum that "our show can make this kind of game interesting in this way".
Looking at it in order in this way, you will find that it deals with programs of various genres such as monomane, dokkiri, quizzes, and award races, and receives praise by poking the part where viewers feel unsatisfactory.
From the next point of view, "Downtown of Water Day" will be imitation, whole person, guessing, grand prix and other types of programs in the audience feel dissatisfied at once, the reason why this show has been praised by the audience is obvious.
"Downtown Wednesday" so far has been broadcast around malicious and cynical angle planning in a good sense, but now I am surprised that it deals with variety in the middle of the do and slashes Bassari.
Most of the previously broadcast "Downtown of Water Day" was centered on the positive meaning of "malice" and "irony", but now it is based on the planning of those signature variety shows as the content, and the inadequacy of these program routines is pointed out in reverse, which is surprising.
Two wheels of the Galaxy Prize and the BPO project
The complementary role of galaxy awards and BPO complaints
Downtown Wednesday is almost seven years since its start in April 2014, but both household and personal viewership remain at the level of "no choice but to be terminated at any time."
"Downtown of Water Day" has been broadcast for almost 7 years since its launch in April 2014, but both the family ratings and the personal ratings have remained at the level of "whenever it is possible".
However, what is not actually discontinued is mainly because it is top class among the variety currently broadcast from teens and 20s.
But the main reason why the show hasn't actually been cut is that among the variety shows currently on the air, "Downtown of Water Day" is one of the shows with the support of up to 10 generations and 20 generations.
The younger they get, the more they often hear that variety is basically not seen because they are all similar programs, but even those who say, "I'm the only one looking forward to 'Downtown Wednesday'." This fact is heavy for the commercial television station where the rejuvenation of the viewer is urgent.
It is often possible to hear the opinion that the younger the person feels that "the variety shows on TV are all similar, so they basically don't watch it", but even such people say that "the only program to look forward to is "The Downtown of Water Day". This fact is heavy for private television stations that desperately need younger audiences.
While winning the Galaxy Award many times, on the other hand, the variety that receives complaints related to BPO (Broadcasting Ethics and Program Improvement Organization) is only "Downtown Wednesday", and this is the only thing that is bound by compliance, and this is a proof that this program has become a drug and poison in a positive sense while fearing complaints and safe projects. The trust from the viewer is considerably thick including the fact that the young person excludes the place that variety dislikes such as bansen, excessive awning, and useless COMMERCIAL straddles.
While winning the Galaxy Award many times, the only variety show that has been complained about by the BPO (Japan Broadcasting Ethics Program Advancement Agency) is probably "Downtown of Mizuyo Day". This is evidence that "Downtown of Water Day" is both beneficial and harmful in a positive sense, in the context of the fact that many TV shows are bound by broadcast restrictions, fear of complaints, and blindly pursuing plans that will not cause problems. It excludes program promotion, excessive incitement, useless advertising, etc. that young people do not like, so it is deeply trusted by the audience.
