Nice vid. Painful to sit through that song though.
Just watched the third episode. The Travelator owns all!
The scripted dialog really needs to go.

I'd like to know the need for two stars to be hosting the show. Mike Adamle is still grunting it out doing local sports (albeit in Chicago) and Larry Csonka...well, he's still being a bitter old man just waiting to pop the champaign if the Pats lose. Their greatness hosting the show was that the contenders and even more so, the gladiators were the stars. While I am happy to see the show back on the air, they need to bring in two schmos to host it (hell, even bring in the Pros v Joes host along with some hasbeen athlete) and get rid of all the trademarkish vocals by the gladiators along with the interviews with the contestents. Anyone else notice that for the women it's generally an ugly duckling vs. an attractive yet annoyingly positive minded chick?

After just two original broadcasts, NBC has decided to order up another season of its "American Gladiators" revival.
New take on "Gladiators" bowed to the highest ratings of any new series this season, scripted or unscripted. It averaged a 5.9/14 among adults 18-49, and 12 million viewers overall. Skein's premiere in its regular Monday night slot last week also did very well.
Peacock isn't saying how many extra episodes of "Gladiator" it's ordered, or when the second season of the show will air. First season is slated to wrap in mid-February.
"Gladiators" comes from MGM Television and Reveille. Mark Koops, Howard Owens and David Hurwitz are exec producers.

Too many irritating aspects.
Just can't do it...

I sure hope someone else can find a way to win assault, because only one person has so far.

Evidently the "bull rider" contestant from the last episode is a softcore porn actress. http://www.realitytvscoop.com/2008/0...adiators-porn/

I was a huge fan of the original show when I was a kid, and I'm loving this new version as well. The talking parts are a little boring, but the competition sections are classic TV, in my opinion.
So many good looking female Gladiators, I can't even name them all, but my favorite is Crush.

Evan Dollard went to my high school... graduated the year after I did. He really bulked up. Used to be pretty skinny when I knew him. Man did he kick some ass tonight!

I've given up watching this show on NBC, I know just wait for it to get posted on Hulu.com and skip past all the horribly scripted lines.

My New American Gladiators drinking game:
1. everytime Hulk says "brotha" take a drink
2. everytime the ref counts down 3, 2, 1 - anyone who does not say "Dodgeball" after 1 must drink
3. everytime a contestant dedicates their performance to a family member, take a drink
4. anytime the play by play announcer makes a bad pun, finish your glass
5. everytime the gladiator "Wolf" howls, howl and do a shot
6. everytime someone loses a piece of protective equipment (helmet, neck brace, etc.) take a drink

I guess we know what Mike Adamle is doing now... he's been hired by the WWE, presumably to help announce Raw...

I wish they would dump the way the hosts talk to the competitors just before the match starts. I'd rather just get a short interview after each match.
