Konami, you had better know what you're doing.

That's...interesting, I guess. I can see making a 5-minute video about DDR, but a show? What large amount of TV-worthy content could they possibly get out of arrow-smash? I can't wait to see this...

So um, is it bad that awhile ago I was watching Family Guy, and when Quagmire came on, I thought something to the effect of "Whoa, It's AA Bob!" (I don't remember if the exact thought was "It's AA Bob" or "It's AA Bob's avatar", but I don't think it matters in this case)?

Oh, no! It's the evil DDR master way better than everyone else! It's up to a bunch of college guys to score a higher grade on Fascination MaxX than he can!

Does that seriously sound interesting to you? What a weird idea for a TV show.

EDIT: Saw the info. Sounds like it's going to instead be reality TV.

FYI, I got this info elsewhere and didn't see this thread when I posted. News post linked to here for all further discussion.

This is going to be interesting. If it's not animated, I have no idea how they are going to make a whole series out of this.

Well, at least this show is one big advertisement for DDR. So, with DDR becoming more popular, that means more dedicated SN cabs and arcade mixes for us!

Dude, this should be interesting! Although, I wonder if they'll feature some people who are only on Beginner, like they did when they featured it on Good Morning America a little while back. >_> They should have some super spiffeh dudes like Take or Yasu do some stuff. XD

That being said, how much can you really do with a DDR TV show? Gosh... it should be interesting.

I hope they have good players on there, instead of a bunch of beginners

They are playing Konamix. Hahahahahahahahah.

Perhaps this will start from old DDR days and work its way up. That would be interesting.

I always liked the idea of a DDR webcomic, which happened. But a TV show? Ehhhh...

... and it's... not an anime with the DDR characters. Gah, crud.

Gotta agree that a real-life TV show won't make much of a series... watching people play DDR is interesting at first, but eventually it'd get repeatitive and you'd just wanna play the game yourself...

Gah!

I hope this won't cause the arcade to be filled with Beginners, saying, "I saw this on the show!"........

It's crowded enough as it is.

Ugh.
I keep getting a "The page cannot be displayed" (on the info page), so I'm going to guess that it's a bunch of beginners, (and knowing reality TV, it'll probably be "geeky" beginners or whatever) who try to enter in a tournament and win, I suppose.

I wonder, how will this make good TV?
They'll have stuff like:
"I just can't do it -cries-, I can't. And Brad keeps making fun of me because he gets C's and I fail -cries some more-"

Edit: Oh wait. I forgot. More SUPERNOVA cabs for us is definitely something beneficial...if it were to be that way. I'm guessing the series' life will end in...................3 weeks...........a month tops.

OH NO!!!! lol that's VERY stupid but it truly makes me laugh. Konami, that is very not cool... Now ddr is gonna be like the Green Day or Fall out Boy of video games... that's crap. Mabey I'm just being selfish. But I think this will make kids make fun of us didders even more due to the fact that they will hear of the show and ... yeah

I don't think it'll be good. I just don't see how it could be good in a live action presentation.

I just think that DDR could only be best used, when being a television series, as an anime of some sort. I don't know why, either. DDR seems more like that kind of game that makes it its own kind of world, and that players happen to just step into it once they put in money. So it's kind of odd basing it on actual live action.

I say we start a petition to end this BEFORE it fully starts.

I do not wanna deal with MORE kids at the arcade...
