OMG, Hogan is in trouble!!! by Literarywanderer	Dec 22nd, 2008 03:45:49 PM
How will Hulk afford to pay for his and Linda's incest stand-in love slaves without this pay check?
Whatever. by Lord John Whorfin	Dec 22nd, 2008 03:47:15 PM
Hollywood Yates was very entertaining. He started hearing Dylan a little when he wore the fangs in the second season, however. And Gina Carano was the hottest female Gladiator ever.
And... by Lord John Whorfin	Dec 22nd, 2008 03:51:19 PM
Carano could totally play Wonder Woman in a movie.
no great losses there....... by j2talk	Dec 22nd, 2008 03:54:17 PM

Start the letter writing campaign! by fishpillow	Dec 22nd, 2008 03:54:48 PM
According to Jim MUST BE SAVED!
According to Jim finally cancelled? Praise be to Allah! by Xiphos_2	Dec 22nd, 2008 04:10:14 PM
How the fuck that show lasted for however long it did is a mystery. I'm thinking the producers had pictures of studio executives dressed in female clothing going down on goats.
Gina Carano by Alientoast	Dec 22nd, 2008 04:21:37 PM
Gina was pretty much the only reason I would tune in every now and again. Part of the problem with the show is that it seemed far too scripted for a supposedly unscripted reality show. That and IMO it needed a harder edge. And more Gina Carano doing scissor leg holds
Damn where will I fill my silver fetish now? by Stormwatcher	Dec 22nd, 2008 04:25:52 PM
Seriously, I love me some buff ladies in silver clothing. Its like Ground Zero fetish for me. Dammit! All joking aside, what now?
Amen Alientoast! by br1947	Dec 22nd, 2008 04:43:54 PM
Gina Carano >= HOT! She's gotta be kinda down between Gladiators and EliteXC folding, but hopfully she'll pop-up again soon.
"American Gladiatiors" was a fun show. by Vic Twenty	Dec 22nd, 2008 04:45:40 PM
It was exactly what it tried to be, a fun summer series about people running through obstacles courses while giants tried to squash them. If you find something wrong with that, sucks to be you. It is not like this was keeping something GOOD from being broadcast.
Lord John Whorfin, you too! by br1947	Dec 22nd, 2008 04:45:53 PM
Play Wonder Woman? She's pretty much as close to the real thing as you can get, her MMA stuff is actually kinda frightening...
Carano in Contender: Thailand by Vic Twenty	Dec 22nd, 2008 04:49:43 PM
about a bunch of chicks Thai boxing was a fun show, too. I'm not sure if that was actually the title, but my wife found it on Oxygen, maybe? She was a coach after winning the first season. Someone will find something for her to do. A hot chick that can actually kick your ass?? Too good to pass up.
Too bad. by David Cloverfield	Dec 22nd, 2008 05:19:55 PM
It was fun. Very American fun. We like this stuff in Europe.
Elite XC is old news by BigDogg	Dec 22nd, 2008 05:34:36 PM
the company shut down days after the disaster that happened last time where their cash cow Kimbo Slice got exposed as a fraud on national TV and the guy who beat him came out and said that he was offered money by the company to not try his best in the fight by keeping it standing instead of bringing submissions into it as striking was supposedly Kimbo's stong suit
American Gladiators Survivor by Jonas Grumpy	Dec 22nd, 2008 06:27:13 PM
Now I'll never get to see Survivor: Cook Islands' Ozzie compete as an American Gladiator. I'll bet he would have kicked all kinds of ass on The Eliminator.
Titan as Doc Samson by Jonas Grumpy	Dec 22nd, 2008 06:28:06 PM
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: If Mike O'Hearn isn't going to play The Mighty Thor, he should play Doc Samson. That is all.
Back to gay porn for the cast.... by GrandMuffTarkin	Dec 22nd, 2008 06:35:37 PM
That's how the mop flops!
Well, that took care of that by DatoMan413	Dec 22nd, 2008 06:51:33 PM
AG was entertaining until some of the Gladiators got their ass handed to them by guys half their size. They talked too much, and after a while the whole schtick got redundant. And that fat referee? That guy was a riot! It looked like that fat zebra was practicing his lines before and tried out new stances - Are the contenderssss... READY?! HEH! LMAO! Give that guy a freakin' show! Now Gina, and that Phoenix chic, oh yeah, that will work.

never saw more than 5 min. maybe, but... by crankyoldguy	Dec 22nd, 2008 07:01:01 PM
made the originals look like Thespians. Of course, I knew some of those originals and they were self-effacing off the tube.
or American Gladiators Vs... by crankyoldguy	Dec 22nd, 2008 07:03:17 PM
Actual Bikers in a bar. Bikers take down the muscleheads in a few minutes then kick them in their steroid-filled kidneys for good measure.
That's what they get for screwing up Assault and Hang Tough by Cash907	Dec 22nd, 2008 07:06:18 PM
I loved the original because the Gladiators weren't overtly gay, and the events were actually difficult. Why NBC felt the need to fuck up the tried and true formula is beyond me, but it's no surprise the damn thing tanked. And I liked it better when the announcers were seen and not heard. There is something wrong when the damn play by play people are getting more face time then the actual events themselves. I had that exact same problem with the last winter Olympics. They'd spend 4 minutes showing this behind the scenes montage of the athlete, only to have them DQ right out of the gate or get their hat's handed to them by the competition.
WHAT?!?! WHY?!?! by SkidMarkedUndies	Dec 22nd, 2008 07:16:54 PM
TRAVESTY!
Wipeout by Series7	Dec 22nd, 2008 07:31:14 PM
Was fucking AWESOME! Too bad Gladiators is over, now that guy can go play Captain America.

God deems man worthy. holds off on apocalypse.

..I was just thinking the same thing.
NO! NOT ACCORDING TO JIM!!! by hillvalley	Dec 23rd, 2008 12:10:20 AM
Where will I get my "Honey, did you leave the toilet seat up?" humor from? Because men are from Mars, women are from Venus, and I need a show that reinforces these stereotypes in the broadest way possible!

Vic Twenty... by xsi kal	Dec 23rd, 2008 02:24:47 AM
The reality show Gina was in was called Fight Girls. Kind of the female version of the UFC's Ultimate Fighter show, except the participants were there strictly for muay thai.
This is sad news! by Eyegore	Dec 23rd, 2008 03:21:09 AM
I loved the new American gladiators. I hope it can move into syndication or something with new episodes. Wolf and Titan were great showmen, especially Wolf. Crush and Helga were awesome and I'd love to get into a love sandwich between them. So sad.
speaking of Gina & Fight Girls by Bloo	Dec 23rd, 2008 06:21:49 AM
I work in a hotel and i was visiting with a MMA guy who was staying here who told me to watch an upcoming UFC Ultimate Fighter season to be entirly female based as theye are trying to devolp a female divison don't know the truth to that, but I could see it happening now that she is off AG
Bloo by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Dec 23rd, 2008 07:21:45 AM
UFC owners have said they won't do female MMA because there is not a big enough market. Too bad for Gina, because she was a female OLEG.
For A Moment There . . . by adiehardfanwithalethalweapon	Dec 23rd, 2008 08:49:15 AM
Gladiators took me back to the early 90s. It's not a travesty but it was a nice stroll down memory lane. It should've stuck with the summer slot.
BREAKING NEWS by ArcadianDS	Dec 23rd, 2008 09:35:36 AM
'filler show' hastily thrown together amid writer's strike doesn't get renewed. Witnesses reportedly shocked and surprised by this development.

to go to Japan and be wickedly humbled by Ninja Warrior (the REAL toughest course on tv).
NOOOOOOO by grklevendis	Dec 23rd, 2008 12:42:01 PM
American Gladiators wasn't great.. but it was fun and way better than the crap they have on now anyway! KEEP IT!

Good Riddance to According to Jim by GeorgieBoy	Dec 23rd, 2008 04:09:22 PM
That should needed to be canceled after the first episode.
Nooooooo! by Margot_Tenenbaum	Dec 23rd, 2008 05:24:41 PM
Gina Carano was the bees knees and all of the guy Gladiators were hilarious. So much for women doing athletic things in prime time -- even ridiculous AG stunts were better than nothing. Maybe it will go back to Saturday mornings.
Would have gotten at least another season if they had kept the f by TheSecondQuest	Dec 23rd, 2008 06:59:11 PM
The fanfare was the reason I tuned in as a kid to the first show, why they'd abandon it I have no idea. Dunt-Dunt-Dunt-Dunt-DAHHH dadadadaaa Dunt-Dunt-Dunt-Dunt-DAHHH dadadadaaa DAH-DAH-DAH-D-DAH-D-DAHHHH....

Drive past any trailer park and you'll hear the sobs.
Its a sad Christmas by Charlie_Allnut	Dec 23rd, 2008 10:02:07 PM
i honestly thought According to Jim was canceled like ten years ago. Wow. The best part of AG was that they didn't update the format, obstacles, costumes or anything from twenty years ago. Just carted the stuff out of storage and hired gay porn actors.
THERE IS NOW NO REASON TO WATCH NBC!!!! by RickSlamu2	Dec 24th, 2008 12:28:05 AM

FUCK YOU NBC!
The show didn't have enough padding to protect the... by Leafar the Lost	Dec 28th, 2008 04:32:26 PM
...contestants. Yes, it looked like every square inch of the set was covered in red, white, and/or blue padding, but if you look at the tapes again (and again) you will see that there were parts of the set where there was no padding at all! If the set had more padding, and if the contestants were reguired to wear protection from head to toe, then maybe NNC could have saved the show. What a loss...
Noooooo! American Gladiators! by JoeSixPack	Dec 28th, 2008 11:30:19 PM
NBC sucks for canceling this.
I am going to miss Militia's Phyne Cuban ass by DallasGoodbar	Dec 30th, 2008 08:44:27 PM
That man should go back to showing off that gorgeous body in gay porn like he did with Colt studios years ago.
