Why American Ninja Warrior?. No excuses get made. Every effort is honored. Ripped veterans & awkward teens get equal respect. There’s no booing, just cheers and community. In an era of loneliness & anxiety, I can’t help but think that ninja lessons may be just what we need.

Of course, the show is manipulative. I can’t possibly believe that Iseman or Gbaja-Biamila are this good-natured & unfailingly enthusiastic. We’re fed a steady stream of gracious losers. Authenticity is not the goal. And I’m not sure that’s such a bad thing.

The “ninjas” favor t-shirts embossed with cheesy nicknames (“Flyboy,” “The Island Ninja”) & the whole thing plays out on a rickety-looking set on a Vegas side street. Ridiculous, right? But damned if I don’t love watching with my boys. More tellingly, it’s the rare show I feel.
