I'm wondering how long it takes before these "gimmick" teams gets old. I will be tuning in though to see if the games are fun to watch. I am always a fan of people getting hit in the head by high speed objects.

The rules suck. They say headshots dont count.

and you can use a ball for defense? what kind of sissy dodgeball is this?

if you want to call it "extreme" dodgeball, add something "extreme" like lacrosse balls, or rocks.

Didn't see anything on the main page of what time it airs, but if you check their guide, as i've seen the previews, the first show starts tomorrow at 10 eastern p.m.

Ironic that dodgeball the movie starts friday. Too bad they didn't shell out some $$$ to Vince Vaughn so he can do a Michael Buffer and start the show with, "dodgeball baby dodgeball"

No headshots??????? I guess my main reason for watching the show is out.

So this was the best gig that Zach Selwyn could get huh? I thought he could have done better.

Think of it this way, one side just doesn head shot after head shot after head shot. Sure it doesn't count but after getting hit in the head a bunch of times, it will make it easier to take out the dizzy guys.

WHY WHEN I WAS A BOY.....dodgeball was for the wusses and nancyboys. We had Chestnut Fights and everything counted. We would total points when the game ended, which wasn't until someone cried. And someone always did.

Anyone watch? I thought it was pretty lame.

I bet it would be cool if they were real teams of real people, not mimes and sumo wrestlers.

Something with a little more structure, actual athletes...That would be better, but this version is just silly IMO.

Pansyasses. We had pellet gun fights. Seriously. I popped a friend in the ass once and he fell out of tree. Man, was he pissed.

I thought about watching it just to see what it was like, but when i heard zach selwyn was hosting that, that got shot to hell as I couldn't stand him on Dream Job.

I just started watching it and so far it's only ok. I would have rather seen the bodybuilders against the jockey's for the first match but oh well.

I like how after the match they replenish the body's lost fluids with cold refreshing coke instead of that old fad where people drink water

This show cannot last more than a few months, after awhile you just don't care anymore.

Cusm 06-17-04 08:30 AM

I think this show would have been better if they would have got real local teams from different leagues, if such things exist.

Jeraden 06-17-04 08:41 AM

I thought it was a decent show. The rules are all the same as I remember from playing in gym class as a kid. I guess its not quite as exciting of a show as I thought it would be though.
