I'm sure some of you have played or heard of Retro Game Challenge on the Nintendo DS. This is the TV show it was based off. The show sees Japanese Comedian Shinya Arino play though a series of retro video game challenges. The show also cotains interviews and tours of video game shops, game centers (arcades), video game expos and other video game related places. The show started in 2003 and is still going today, many of the episodes can be found subtitled on youtube.
I heard the video game news site Kotaku localised some of the episodes but apparently they did a terrible job of it so you best of watching on youtube.
The show is far and away the best video game show I have ever seen, it has drama, it is funny, interesting and it never gets boring. Also the episodes are an hour long.
