American Gladiators...reborn from the ashes



Wow. Whoever said that life exists as a circle was right. Don't throw out those bell bottoms cuz if you wait long enough, they will be back in style. Each new fashion trend that comes along is just a ripped off version of something that had already happened. Much is true about current TV. American Gladiators is one of them, another one is the remake of Knight Rider coming next week. Is nothing sacred anymore? These Gladiators are similar to the old ones, all have silly ridiculous names and a equally ridiculous acts to support those names. Take Hellga for example...this bitch is huge, hideous, and what's with the name? Then there is Toa a wild and out of control nut from the bush. My favorite is Wolf...I hear before he got this gig he was a rodeo clown for 15 years...wow nice resume.

Knight Rider....now this one is looking pretty pathetic. One...you can't do KR without the Hoff, I don't care what you think about him and two...how can KITT be a Ford? A Ford???? What the hell are the writer's thinkin? They must have wrote that in seconds before they walked out on strike. You can't make KITT a Ford...he was a Pontiac Fire bird..Holy Ground Highlander...Holy Ground.

Mike,

Did you want them to use an 80's Trans Am as KITT? How about a DeLorean as long as we were going back to the future?

If the Camaro were out yet, that would be just fine, but its not. They could have used a Vette, but they could have done that in the 80's and probably had a better looking car too.

I like to think that the ridiculous Turbo Boost where the car jumps is gone, but that would require me to watch it to find out, and I don't believe that any such thing will happen.

Maybe they can have the Hoff all drunk licking a sandwich off of KITT's carpet, while KITT voices the Hoff's daughters words about him not getting drunk anymore.

Now American Gladiators, that is another story. How old is Hulk Hogan anyways, 100? I think this belongs on Bravo or something. I guess this is what the writer's strike gets us. And Hellga, my wife looks at her and says "She is fat?!" And she is right, Hellga has got one too many Bavarian Torte's under her belt. The rest of those women are buff, but she is a real buttercup.
