No, they don't air this in Tokyo, at least not on any "free" channels, which is a pity. I gew up in Nagoya watching this every Saturday afternoon together with a couple of other wacky Kansai shows.

Just to make sure, you do now get the お邪魔します gag, dontcha? It's like when we hear someone say something starting with おじゃ, we kinda automatically assume he will be saying お邪魔します, which is a statement. Then when you hear it in the question form with か at the end, you'd go "Why is that a question?" since no one says that with か in real life.
