American Gladiators...

[Firehawk]

Did anyone catch the Premiere of American Gladiators last night? I would like opinions.

I was completely unimpressed, and bored with it after a few minutes.

1. WAYYYY too many commercials.
2. Maybe 1 or 2 new events that I don't remember. After this many years you can't come up with new stunts? Come on.
3. (I'm a guy) Not enough sex appeal going on. I think in this day and age, the female outfits could have been a bit more sexy lol. I did not find the female hostess attractive either.

Thoughts and opinions about the show last night? My guess is they make it 1 season and it gets cancelled.

I wanted to watch it from start to finish but completely forgot it debuted last night. Luckily I got home around 10:30 and NBC was replaying it so I got to watch the last 30 minutes. My opinion is limited but from what I saw I liked the show. The only events I got to see was the tower that I remember from my childhood American Gladiators and this walk the plank event that seemed way too easy. I liked the obstacle course with the addition of water and fire which make for nice visuals and I liked Hulk Hogan as the host calling everyone brother, brother!

They said last night that the show is going to air tonight and will continue to air on Monday nights from now. I'll tune in while watching the BCS national championship and see if it's worth watching. SI.COM had an article that I'll try and dig up on the new Gladiators and the show. Hopefully it turns out to be a good show because I loved the original show but I'm not sure if it's going to be "primetime" material.

From the lack of people responding I'd say nobody watched it lol.

It wasn't a replay at 10:30 last night. They had a 2 hour special, essentially 2 shows in one.

To me, almost every event was the same as 15 years ago, and in the eliminator (obstacle course), they hardly changed that around either really, couple changes but mostly very similar to the past. I would have just figured that after this long, they would have came up with newer stuff.

I seriously think the show won't last long.

C'mon you didnt think Alis daughter was sexy? she sounded like xerxes from 300 lol! and wolf, every time they would announce him being in the next contest, he would do his stupid wolf cry! show is retarded. but no it will not get canceled, due to the writers strike, it will be for as long as the strike goes more than like unless they can find a better reality show to air on nbc. or whatever channel it was

I caught the show tonight and it can get better if they start changing a few things. First of all, there are too many commercials as already stated. The editing and all the camera angles every two seconds drive you nuts. I also dont like the way they try to turn the Gladiators into WWE wrestlers with all the trademarks.

I did enjoy the show for one Gladiator in particular. I'm in love with Crush!!!
