Its like MDX... but better!
I may be late to the party, but I was flipping through the channels while waiting for dinner to cook last night and came across "Viking: The Ultimate Obstacle Course" on ESPN2.
Summary: It's a Japanese TV Show about people having to traverse a series of obstacles (and every now and again having to complete a simple math problem). My first thought was, "Oh, it's another knock-off of MDX," but its done straight! The challenges are tricky/difficult instead of wacky and some of the final ones are pretty tough considering these people look like amateurs (fit, but still amateurs).

I found the Rope Maze and the Heartbreaker to be especially cool.
