TBS returns with ABC’s obstacle course series ‘Wipeout’

Get ready to fall on those big balls again. Because guess what? TBS is back with ABC’s canceled obstacle course series.

Are you somebody who loves to watch people playing and going through obstacles? Well, then you must remember that epic and hilarious show. Wherein the contestants had to go through a difficult time passing from one end to another. Many of them wouldn’t able to make it to the other end. As the water and big balls wouldn’t let them pass easily.

The obstacle series ‘Wipeout’ ran on ABC from 2008 to 2014. The first episode game aired on ABC from 24th of June, 2008. And September 7, 2014, marked as the date of airing the last episode of the hilarious, historical, difficult, and fantastic show.

John Henson and John Anderson hosted and commented on the show. Jill Wagner acted as the “On-location” reporter. However, the host of the comeback show hasn’t been announced yet.

The show now is said to “feature new format twists and elements that will push contestants’ athleticism and willpower to even greater extremes, all while delivering some pretty epic fails!”

TBS Network took to its twitter handle to announce the wondrous news with the fans:
