    ESPN Classic shows the originals all the time. I think I'll stick with those.

    I loved that show as a kid. Will I love this show? Not necessarily, but I'll give it a shot.

    Weird, I just saw an episode of American Gladiators on ESPN Classic last night at work. Coincidence?

    That was tizziiiyte when I was young. Not as excited about it as I was before tho as I was watching it last night. Btw, FFB's giant friend should apply for that.

    I think it has a chance to succeed but I am not sure how well it will do with Hulk Hogan as the host? Maybe hes there to fill the role of Larry Csonka...

    I liked the show as a kid and was excited at the fact that ESPN brought the classic back. After about a week of watching it, I think I got bored by it. I think a "reviving" is exactly what it needs. I might be one of the 1sts in line to compete... atleast I always wanted to when I was younger :D

    If I remember correctly, at one time you had to sit through American Gladiators to watch David Letterman after Carson (along with Love Connection).

    It never should have been canceled in the first place.

    Not really...it's on all the freakin' time.

    As for the news...I like Hogan and I used to love American Gladiators, so as long as they don't try and get too flashy with it, I'll give it a watch.

    Hope they don't remake the theme song with the Pussycat Dolls.
