"Tokyo Friend Park II" (TBS, Monday, 6:55 p.m.), hosted by veteran announcer Hiroshi Sekiguchi, is a prime example of the mindless, pointless game-show genre. The main idea is to match up two complementary celebrities who will work together to win prizes for themselves and selected viewers. Because the games are more physical than mental, they are encouraged to wear casual clothing or sportswear.
The stunts are always the same. There's "Chuchu Busters," a kind of three-dimensional variation on the arcade game Whack-a-Mole.
In another challenge, the two celebrities work together on a seesaw contraption, shifting their combined weight in order to move a ball down a series of levered shelves.
