NBC is getting into the ring with "American Gladiators," which has been revived by the Peacock for midseason.

The competition skein -- which featured players with names like Nitro, Turbo and Laser in its campy, early '90s syndie incarnation -- will be updated for the 21st century with new technology and twists. MGM TV, which was behind the original hit, is producing along with Reveille.

oh man! i can't wait!

Entertain the brutes.

Like you're not gonna watch it, even once.

FINALLY. This was the most amazing show. I loved the one with the ball cannon.

I really liked the show as a kid but I feel I'll find myself ashamed to be watching it now.
Oh well, the dumbing down of america is almost complete. Soon we'll all be using mobile magic eight balls with no ability for complex thought and a fear of curiosity.
Who wants bon bons?

todays supporting fact: pain killer usage up 100% since '97

Yep,..not sure how 'tuf' its gonna be now...

some young chap will blow out Hogans hip on any of the events..LOL

Premieres January 6th on NBC!!!!

anybody watch the premiere last night?

personally, it was sooo corny it was almost unwatchable. It was almost as if they were making a parody of themselves with the over the top gladiators (wolf? hellga?). The scripting was just horrible, why don't they just let the contestants wing it rather than read off a telepromptor. I also couldn't believe it was on for 2 hours!

I'm going to give it another shot tonight, but if it's still unbearable...sorry AG, i'm can't be a fan anymore.

It was pretty bad - but I did watch the whole damn thing... were the contestants reading off a prompter? I didn't get that sense, although it did seem rather rehersed.

Couldn't help but think that some parts had been 'borrowed' from that Ninja warrior program on G4 - like the log roll and hand bike.

I'm sure this show will be a huge hit, as the millions of white trash who were fans of the original show have now multiplied.

I watched it. It was pretty cheesy. The old guy coming back after 14 years was so sad.

But does everyone remember why we all watched the original? Because it was JUST like this- outrageously bad. Wolf is my favorite haha.

I'm surprised that Brawndo wasn't a sponsor.

the only thing about the show that interests me anymore is gina carano.. aka crush.

So hot, Yet so able to break me inside of a cage...

The women host? ew....
