I rarely plug television shows, but I'm going to plug one today, because I feel everyone should watch it. The show is called "Banzai," and it appears every Sunday at 8:30 pm on Fox.

"Banzai" is the only television show I watch every week. It isn't a particularly brainy show. There's no genius writing or acting; you could argue there isn't any writing or acting at all. It's a spoof of Japanese game shows. A bunch of idiots compete in some of the stupidest stunts imaginable, and the audience is invited to bet on who wins. The whole enterprise is a lot of fun, and teeters right at the edge of political correctness on network TV.

"Banzai" has taken a lot of flack from Asian American watchdog groups who decry the show as racist. I'm certainly glad someone has decided to represent Asian Americans across this country. However, I've never heard of any of these Asian-Am affiliate groups, nor have they ever tried to recruit me. Is it possible they're just groups of four or five loud-mouthed Al Sharpton wannabes who call the local news station whenever they catch whiff of anything that doesn't fall within the narrow parameters of what they deem inoffensive? I don't know. In the past, these watchdog groups have shown they have perspectives narrower than a Singaporean sweatshop worker's urethra. They certainly hate "Banzai," and I really don't think they have grounds to hate it.

The central complaint of Asian American watchdog groups:

The Japanese "hosts" on Banzai are crude stereotypes, speaking with "Me So Solly" accents that make fun of Asians.

CNN's online site featured a story about the Banzai controversy. Gary Monoghan, "Banzai!'s" creator, defended his show against racist allegations. According to Monoghan, most of the show is filmed in Japan or Great Britain; the Japanese hosts are played by authentic, imported Japanese actors. Furthermore, none of these actors use put-on or exaggerated accents. They speak as they would in real life. Perhaps what really offends Asian American watchdog groups is that these hired Japanese actors don't sound AMERICAN enough. Perhaps if the Wayans Brothers dubbed in their voices, the final product would be more palatable.

So watch "Banzai!" And you Asian-American watchdog groups lighten up, or I will be forced to write a coherent argument against you!
