Yay! There can't be enough homo-erotic entertainment centered around reconstructions of war and violence on television, that's what I say.

JacksBlack		2008-01-04 12:13:51 PM

Dear NBC,

WE KNOW! YOU'VE PUT ADS ON EVERY SITE ON THE INTERNET.

Sincerely,
Everyone

Complicit		2008-01-04 12:16:02 PM

I'm looking forward to it!

evulish		2008-01-04 12:16:28 PM

You know, they're really pushing hard for a show that nobody cares about. Hi, how about END THE WRITERS STRIKE, and put (relatively) good shows back on.

evulish speaks the truth.

01SSJay		2008-01-04 12:20:28 PM

I used to watch it when i was a kid, ill watch it again. What can i say, i like shows where people can fall on their heads.

/right you are Ken

Croooow!		2008-01-04 12:25:42 PM

I am going to an American Gladiators party on Sunday.

I'm gonna dress as Nitro because I am OLD SKOOL

Trivia Jockey		2008-01-04 12:26:55 PM

To all the hatahs out there:

Screw you. We're going to have fun with this. It's been far too long since pugilism has been a t.v. staple.

Hyaku-Shiki		2008-01-04 12:27:40 PM

I've met Militia in real life. Who wants to touch me?

SoonerGrad		2008-01-04 12:28:34 PM

evulish: a show that nobody cares about.

Think again, buddy. American Gladiators is quite awesome.

If I had a tennis ball gun right now, I'd shoot you.

HAH!

I loved the show when I was younger. It was one of the few my brother and I watched together. I'm not sure if watching people knock each other off of giant pedestals with big q-tips is so appealing anymore, but I'll give it a look.

Is he the one from the porn video? Was that you?

Weigard		2008-01-04 12:36:26 PM

Nobody will be a dominating as Wesley "Two Scoops" Berry was back in the day.

whoa whoa whoa whoa....

I didn't know, and now that I know, I'm going to let out a big fat steaming pile of "meh"

Please re-read that and explain to me how it could possibly NOT be appealing!

Jolonco		2008-01-04 12:44:33 PM

Are they going to have the busty women shooting tennis balls at the people again, cause I'm not watching unless they do.

raks		2008-01-04 12:47:25 PM

Dear NBC,

You have not renewed Journeyman. For that You shall pay dearly.

Ku_No_Ichi		2008-01-04 12:48:05 PM

That.
BRING ON THE GIANT QTIPS!!

Mr. Coffee Nerves		2008-01-04 12:48:40 PM

I'm just in it to watch Hulk Hogan call a woman "brotha" and eventually demand to be made the "champion gladiator."

Does anyone think that this won't be a success? Arrogant wannabe reality stars ACTUALLY getting the beatdowns we all wish could deliver to the Bachelorettes, Most Smartest Models and Survivors of the world? The inevitable celebrity edition could be PPV.

Plus, I bet it goes well with bread!

"Here, here's American Gladiators. Watch this, shut up! Go back to bed America, here's American Gladiators. Here's 56 channels of it. Watch these pituitary retards bang their farking skulls together and congratulate you on living in the land of freedom."

Please do. I can't wait to get another batch of Cavemen

A travesty, for sure, but AG's going to be fun.

Body shaving is not normal!

bill hicks was an american whine-iator.

Dirtball		2008-01-04 01:11:14 PM

I will be at the American Gladiator's party with the rest of these knobs and it will be GLOURIOUS my money is on Helga, the woman who looks like Rosie O'Donnell and the Swiss Miss had a love child.

British		2008-01-04 01:17:54 PM

Anyone see the videos for Hellga? Holy crap she sounds like a dude.

duckpoopy		2008-01-04 01:18:44 PM

So is this like "Power Rangers" for "grown-ups"?

Th3Guy		2008-01-04 01:19:18 PM

I wonder if they are gonna say

Gladiators Readaaaaaaay!!!!

I say that all the time now that they brought the old ones back to ESPNC

KentuckyBob		2008-01-04 01:19:35 PM

You haters just take your hate somewhere else and hate there, cause America hates hating.

Jack31081		2008-01-04 01:19:40 PM

Assault!

wmoonfox		2008-01-04 01:19:46 PM

As if the ads of oiled-up jocks at the top of the page weren't enough.

chicobrownbear		2008-01-04 01:20:15 PM

I used to watch American Gladiators so I'm really getting a kick out of these replies.

DrForrester		2008-01-04 01:21:03 PM

Oh boy, network TV! Enjoy your five minutes of action surrounded by 55 minutes of commercials and filler.

Tools.

MrNiX		2008-01-04 01:21:34 PM

I'll stick to full contact, mixed martial arts fighting, thank you.

almandot		2008-01-04 01:21:53 PM

The others, not so much.

malibupetey		2008-01-04 01:22:14 PM

Bread and Circuses.

The_Sponge		2008-01-04 01:22:44 PM

THIS!

/Wanted one of those tennis ball cannons back when I was in junior high.
//And one of those bazookas the contestants had to use.

Sue Dunham		2008-01-04 01:23:19 PM

Got to get the (women's) Pillow Fight League on TV.

vernonFL		2008-01-04 01:23:38 PM

I'm gay and I can't even watch that crap.

logruszed		2008-01-04 01:24:27 PM

Croooow!: I am going to an American Gladiators party on Sunday.

I'm gonna dress as Nitro because I am ~~OLD SKOOL~~ coming out of the closet

FTFY.

airsupport		2008-01-04 01:25:03 PM

No doubt about it. Hellga is a dude.

Duck_of_Doom		2008-01-04 01:26:59 PM

wmoonfox: As if the ads of oiled-up jocks at the top of the page weren't enough.

Those were real people?! Seriously, at first I thought they were ads for video games. That one guy looks like the one guy from Duke Nukem (no, never played it).

Solty Dog		2008-01-04 01:27:03 PM

I think the old gladiators should be the first contestants. Let's see how tough those steroid babies are now.

Croooow!		2008-01-04 01:27:06 PM

HELLGA

DaBishop		2008-01-04 01:27:16 PM

Pooter		2008-01-04 01:27:21 PM

Nah... think I'll watch Ninja Warrior instead - I wish there was a channel where I could watch a full episode of Sasuke without having it chopped into half-hour bits.

Also, let up on the goddamned advertising just a smidgen, please.

Alphax		2008-01-04 01:27:29 PM

Yeah, I think we've seen more than enough ads for it on Fark already.

I'd rather play the original Unreal Tournament.

spelunking_defenestrator		2008-01-04 01:28:53 PM

Bread and Circuses.

And Perms.

Taking for granted the ongoing decline of our culture, I fully expect this to evolve into televised bloodsport, and sigh.

Pixiest		2008-01-04 01:29:44 PM

I was sorta interested (I used to watch the old stuff) Until I found out hulk hogan is involved. That means it's going to be fake.

Weird sports based around hitting people with giant que-tips are kinda cool, but only if they're not fixed.

Millzners		2008-01-04 01:30:15 PM

I'd rather watch MXC. Twice as entertaining without all the homo-erotic overtones. Crazy asians and their obstacle courses...

I mean, she-males buldging with testosterone coupled with ex gay-porn stars wearing skin-tight leotards wrestling and hitting each other with giant foam sticks?

Hey if that gets you off that's fine, whatever floats your fail boat.
