Does anyone else laugh when they see that commercial?

this is what happens when writers strike

11/25/2007 8:17:02 PM

This gets even better.

It's going to be hosted by Hulk Hogan and Laila Ali.

I might tune in to just listen to Hogan alone.

11/25/2007 8:20:26 PM

11/25/2007 9:45:19 PM

Actually NBC has had the program in the works for several months. I saw the application on their website this summer.

11/25/2007 10:09:28 PM

^You mean they ended up hiring the hulk instead of you? BASTARDS

11/25/2007 10:18:35 PM

I wonder if this is a result of the popularity of that ninja show.

11/25/2007 10:31:00 PM

This is going to be horrible

that being said...when is this coming on? I will definitely watch the first episode

11/26/2007 8:04:29 AM

GLOBAL GLADIATORS

11/26/2007 8:16:04 AM

I'd support bringing back American Gladiators regardless, just because the original was so great.

But American Gladiators hosted by Hulk Hogan?

11/26/2007 9:14:48 AM

This is awesome.

11/26/2007 9:58:39 AM

biggest news since the Ace of Base reunion tour.

11/26/2007 10:03:43 AM

any word on when this starts? I'll watch it. I remember watching the original any time I got to stay home from school when I was a kid

11/26/2007 10:04:35 AM

Quote :

"A revival has been announced by NBC for a 2008 airing, with open casting calls recently taking place for this new version.[3]. The show was slated to be taped in late November 2007, and because of the 2007 Writers Guild of America strike, it is slated to begin January 6, 2008."

11/26/2007 10:17:48 AM

You can't get just anyone to write for a show like this.

11/26/2007 10:41:49 AM

My prayers have been answered.

11/26/2007 11:23:59 AM

i loved the gauntlet

big boy-sized nerf toys

11/26/2007 6:50:17 PM

Tennis balls being shot at them at 90 mph.

11/26/2007 7:00:46 PM

haha yeah

it was great when the flimsy-ass dart bounced off the target and nothing happened

11/26/2007 7:05:40 PM

OMGOMGOMGOMG

I LOVED THIS SHOW AS A KID

I want to try out for it

11/26/2007 7:10:20 PM

the final countdown

12/10/2007 10:02:04 AM

I remember hoping for a revival for years and then being terribly disappointed when I saw the commercial for this.

12/10/2007 10:11:56 AM

can they bring back Gemini to teach the new gladiators the way of the joust?

12/10/2007 10:37:51 AM

Yea I almost shit my pants when I saw this.
.
American Gladiators the original was the best televised testament to America: #1.

12/10/2007 11:02:45 AM

If only I could go back in time to Sunday mornings watching American Gladiators and MacGyver on USA. Oh wonderful childhood memory.

12/10/2007 11:39:00 AM

I still remember a guy doing the breakthrough & conquer event that actually flipped over the gladiator to get past him. They replayed it like 80 times and you could literally see the gladiator grab for thin air. Good times

12/10/2007 11:56:38 AM

My friends and I are already planning "Drinking American Gladiator"

everytime someone says Gladiator, drink. everytime someone says American gladiator, drink 5!

12/10/2007 12:41:20 PM

Wesley "TWO SCOOPS" Berry jumped over a car AND made the gladiators look bad.

how badass is that.

12/10/2007 1:04:22 PM

C'mon, Hulk Hogan + American Gladitors = Winning recipe.

12/10/2007 1:04:42 PM

12/10/2007 2:07:01 PM

12/10/2007 2:11:40 PM

I'm actually looking forward to this

12/10/2007 2:14:11 PM

They better keep the original music.

12/10/2007 2:15:08 PM

12/10/2007 6:49:05 PM

Gladiators shouldn't wear corsets.

12/16/2007 12:39:42 PM

12/31/2007 11:15:19 PM

Those corsets look stupid and that chick looks fat. The old school ones were lithe
