My wife is elated. She's told me too many stories about growing up down the street from the production studios from the original show. Apparently people used to line up around the block to get in.

My favorite event was Assault. I played a mock version with my neighbors with nerf weapons.

The Joust!!

As long as they keep it close enough to the original and not try to turn it into the WWF or some such nonsense, this could be pretty cool.

 

[Pariah]

In my heart, American Gladiators never left.

Yep, on Thanksgiving of last year, ESPN classic had a 24 hour marathon of American Gladiators.

I always thought I that I could do well on that show, especially in the Wall, Breakthrough & Conquer, (at least the the Breakthrough part) and Assault. Oh, and powerball. That looks like fun.

I would love to do the obstacle course too.

I watched a couple of old eps on Classic with my 80-something grandpa in Louisiana. He had never seen it, so it was new to him. Good times.

[Hollywood]

[Stout]

My friends and I used to play power ball in the yard in HS. Good times.

Wow...that looks really really stupid.

Please give the writers whatever they want...

I'll give it a shot. The '90s repeats rock.

It is incredibly stupid, yet oddly also very entertaining to watch.

This strike needs to be settled quickly!

Starts up January 6th with Hulk Hogan (so much for that no WWF stuff) and Laila Ali hosting.

Not bad for a gladiator...

 

[dreamcastrocks]

Flipping through the deal or no deal, and they showed a commercial. It looked like it will suck and be good at the same time. Still not good enough for me to watch it though.

I'll watch it.

which translates to: DCR will probably wind up watching it.

The rest of the chicks are just downright scary looking...don't let that one up there fool you into thinking it's going to be a bunch of hot chick gladiators.

there are a couple of beasts - but they're not all bad

I didn't say ugly--I said scary. That chick scares me.
