There are usually 60+ runs per region that don't even get so much as a digest--just nothing whatsoever, not even a single frame of footage. I imagine that might be what they're talking about. |

Unfortunately that's part of TV. NBC (and G4 before it) has never showed past what they officially aired. Only TBS started posting cut runs after Inui took over and even then they only show them months after the tourney aired. Heck 30 doesn't even have the full list out. |

One suggestion: Make the episodes viewable in England!!!! It takes me like 2 days after it has been shown until I can find it somewhere on the web and even that requires far too much effort for such a load of crap (no offence but this year was particularly bad #FeebleKacy)

The best thing is they trim out all the fluff, which I'm not kidding cuts out HALF the broadcast

I have a lot of thing to say, but can i ask? Is all of this suggestion come to the producer? Is there anyone who work in the show programmer have an account here?  |

Answer to question number 1. Yes you can ask.
Question 2. No the suggestions are not being taken to the producer as far as I know.
Question 3. We don't know if a producer or anyone on the show reads this, I believe they may have stumbled into it once or twice and just didn't care because it is TV people. If they do then here's what I say to them "Make the age limit lower."

Insurance, etc. Also, the finals are in Vegas  |

Regarding the point mentioned earlier about airing the G4 edited broadcasts of SASUKE Ninja Warrior 1-27 on NBC and/or one of its sister networks: as much as I'd like to see it happen (provided there aren't legal issues regarding this matter upon when NBC obtained rights to ANW), I honestly feel that it won't happen due to the "SASUKE continuity vs. ANW continuity" debate increasing exponentially. Considering how much of a problem it has resulted in at the SMF level, one can only imagine how much more exacerbated it would become if potentially millions of more people are suddenly introduced to the original show. Confusion would certainly result (based upon the many contradictory instances already mentioned/established on ANW in regards to not only SASUKE but also ANW itself), in the process possibly further escalating the controversies already associated with ANW. As it's been said in the past, it seems to be a problem which cannot be easily fixed, if it can at all. Furthermore, if NBC still decides to eventually go through with airing G4's Ninja Warrior 1-27, people would probably start to question why 28 onward will almost certainly never be aired in the U.S., and/or if they ever even occurred; this issue has the capability of causing a similar amount and degree of negative feedback for ANW and NBC.
Tl;dr: Showing the Ninja Warrior G4 episodes on NBC, NBC Sports, etc. will probably cause a lot of confusion and controversy to most people, resulting in NBC and ANW receiving more widespread trouble.

I can see why they have it, but it is annoying for me being 13 and having to wait 8 years to compete. However, the story of me training since I was 11 years old to get on ANW or Sasuke will be an awesome story that NBC would die for, like another competitor (Patric Cusic) who did the same thing but a bit higher age. Whenever I tell my parents this, they always say they should make a course for younger competitors. |

That's not going to happen for several reason. a) NBC doesn't want it. b) There will be virtually no ratings for it c) the liability insurance for minors is a LOT more than adults. d) NBC has not hired course builders that know about safety issues. If/when a minor gets hurt .. ooh Lord..

My suggestions:
*Make the show 9 weeks max. I think 3 city prelims, 3 city finals, 2 Vegas finals, and 1 America VS Universe (or whatever they'll come up with next year) is plenty, especially if episodes are 2 hours long. Since there would be fewer locations and presumably more competitors per location, they could air two episodes weekly for the qualifying rounds during the first 6 weeks. Furthermore, the air dates should be planned so there are no 2-week gaps between episodes.
*Since the number of locations would be reduced, there should be 50 qualifiers for the city finals and 30 qualifiers to Vegas. There would be 10 wildcard spots to make a total of 100 Vegas competitors.
*The prelims and finals should include some obstacles that will be featured in Vegas. The qualifying rounds are too dissimilar to the actual course which isn't fair to the competitors and makes the transition from qualifying rounds to Vegas look disjointed.
*The prelims and city finals should employ a time limit. For prelims, there should be a set time limit: anyone who clears should move on; if there aren't enough qualifiers, the "further the fastest" rule will be used. In city finals, the course should use a time limit up to completion of the Warped Wall. and then move to unlimited time for the last half. This way, competitors have to demonstrate both their proficiency at the obstacles and the ability to complete them under pressure, just like the Vegas course.
*The course should largely revert back to the one used in ANW 5 and extensive testing should be done on each obstacle to ensure there won't be another 2nd stage disaster. Luck-based obstacles (Silk Slider, Cannonball Run, etc.) should be eliminated entirely. An obstacle such as the Chain Reaction, Downhill Jump, or Cross Slider should be used at the beginning of the Second Stage.

I'd like to see Stage 2 be somewhat overhauled.
-Rope Jungle makes Stage 2 too upper body oriented IMO. The stage has become an easier version of Stage 3. That makes 3/4 of the stages focused on the upper body. Heck that, man, just have the salmon ladder+unstable bridge as a sort of Stage 3 initiation or something. The course should be more of a test of overall athleticism.
-I don't think the Metal Spin was all THAT terrible, but making it more fair would be perfectly fine.
-Maybe remove the butterfly wall because of how ridiculously height biased it is >_> I mean there's other obstacles where height give you an advantage, but I feel like the butterfly wall is a bit moreso than, say, the warped wall. Though I guess it's cool that it actually makes you jump, rather than grab stuff.
This is more personal opinion than advice, but I suppose the audience would appreciate a more vintage-style speed-based Stage 2 than the one we have.

Reduce the number of obstacles that try to kill competitors (Rumbling Dice I'm looking at you) and ban anyone called Kacy from getting anymore than 1 minutes interview and general hype time. she had teh urn, now can we please focus on proper competitors (sorry Kacy fans :S) and also get some celebs to run the finals course, it's easy ratings and I'd love to see someone like Si Robertson run the course  |
