View Full Version : TV Iron Chef
Man this is such an awesome show and this week they had a tie I can't wait to find out the theme ingredient next week should be a cracker. Chen Kenichi FTW!
This show absolutely dominates Master Chef.
P.S. Just turned back to the Geelong v Bulldogs. :o:o:o

Much better than the American version, that's for sure. There is something I've wanted to know for a while now, why isn't the chairman's voice dubbed over?

agreed. Dreading the local version now that Ch7 acquired the rights
one of the best shows on free to air

Channel 7 are the broadcaster but The Shine Group (owned by Sarah Murdoch) owns the rights and will be the producers of the show.
If your worried about The Shine Group they are producing 'Junior Masterchef' for Channel 10.
Iron Chef Australia is still in 'pre production mode' at the moment but will soon be ramping right up with the set looking like it will be being built next week.

Because that guy's too awesome.

It was, in some of the earliest translated episodes, but it was decided that the voice wasn't providing the right feel for his character, so they limited the voiceovers to the challenger biographies and went to subtitles wherever possible.
The American version is...OK. Once you accept that its not a direct attempt to ape the Japanese version, it becomes easier to stomach. Mark Dacascos has certainly got his own style going as US chairman!

The American version is such a failure in quality when compared to the original Japanese version.
Japanese version has been on SBS since 2003, perhaps even longer. Haven't watched it for years, but I remember it being lots of fun. The entire formula of the show just works really well. Does SBS keep showing repeats of old episodes?

Chen Kenichi FTW!
hiroyuki sakai is the true master.
Enjoyed it but the atmosphere was soo lame. There was no excitement in the commentator's voice and no back history in the Chairman. :(
ITS NOT THE SAME WITHOUT THE CHAIRMAN EATING A CAPSICUM!!!

The show just lost all credibility with Neil Perry winning the first ep
