So were going to do the hard work for you.
For format enthusiasts, this is the country that literally spawned a program titledI Survived a Japanese Gameshow.
Fremantle Portugal made the series, allowing its sales execs more insight into mechanics.
Freeze,a rather ridiculous Japanese slapstick gameshow, was creating many a comedy moment, and international buyers were showing interest.
Since then, weve been marketing it hard.
The comedy gameshow asks contestants in a studio to compete one simple task: stay still.
Episodes are standalone and seasons can be sized up or down.
TVIs show featured big name celebrities in teams of three.
Seeing celebrities in this crazy environment is a big attraction, says ODell.
Its fun, silly and not an over-demanding watch.
My view is that laughter is never out of vogue, adds ODell.
Whether slapstick is back on trend or not,Freezeis ultimately just a very funny show.
Its an antidote to everyday life.
It has great promos, is full of great visual moments and allows for flexibility in the schedule.
I like to think it could be trailblazer for a whole range of crazy new slapstick shows.
