Man vs Beast From FOX
"Man vs. Beast," the multispecies competition airing Wednesday, Jan. 15 at 9 p.m., will feature humans and animals going head-to-head in a series of competitions. Steve Santagati ("Bachelorettes in Alaska") hosts.
In addition to the midgets vs. elephant battle -- in which the two teams will compete to see who can pull a DC-10 across a desert field fastest -- highlights of the hour include 132-lb. hot dog-eating champ Takeru Kobayashi trying to outswallow a 1,000 lb. Kodiak bear, and world-class sprinter Shawn Crawford racing against a giraffe and a zebra.
Also planned: a sumo wrestler vs. orangutan tug of war, and a chimp vs. soldier obstacle course race. Celeb commentators will be on hand to offer play-by-play, including Carl Lewis (news - web sites) and Michael Buffer ("Let's get ready to rumble!")
"Of all the things we've worked on, I think this has huge potential," said Schotz.

"Of all the things we've worked on, I think this has huge potential." Okay...
How about one more...
Fox execs vs. a herd of cattle, to determine who can create a bigger pile of crap?

when I saw michael buffer on this show, I had to ask myself, "should I really be watching this?"
i can't wait for the ads. i wanna see which demographic advertisers are after on this one.

No contest, methinks.

My simian brethren performed well, but I expected more from the chimp. He was too busy showboating Terrell Owens style with the leg kick on the rope swing and striking a pose at the finish line. Yeah, I know you're pretty, but beat the Seal first, then strut for the cameras.
A solid 4-2 victory.

Somehow i have a feeling it will be:
"Man vs Beast 2: Electric Boogaloo"
it'll probably have breakdancing chimps...

I was channel surfing the other night and saw a commercial for this.. after a commericial for 20 reality TV shows, and then I just changed it back to Cartoon Network.
It's a sad day in America in that when the all cartoon channel has more intellectual programming than the networks.
