TBS produced the Takeshi's Castle game show, which is dubbed and rebroadcast internationally. The channel is also home to Ultraman and the Ultra Series franchise from 1966 onwards – itself a spinoff to Ultra Q, co-produced and broadcast in the same year – and its spinoffs, most if not all made by Tsuburaya Productions for the network.
