American Gladiators

[Che]

It's on now. I remember watching it, but I can't remember WHY. :|:

[MasterBlaster]

Hahaha. I was never into it.

[Paul B]

the name Laser seems to ring a bell. and Storm... hmmm, maybe I should watch...

[JamesTX]

I used to watch it. I was waiting for a "costume malfunction" on one of the female gladiators.

[Bodean]

It's back? I spent many a late night watching.

[JIML]

how corny lol.

[brccarborist]

Haha there were like 20 guys all named either "Lazer", "Blaze", or "Blazer" if I remember right

[Paul B]

Hahaha, I'm watching and it's hilarious. There's some fruit named wolf that howls all the time and Hulk Hogan is one of the hosts or whatever.

I used to watch it. I was waiting for a "costume malfunction" on one of the female gladiators.

I used to watch Solid Gold for similar reasons.

[MasterBlaster]

I was the same way with Petticoat Junction. :drink:

[Hobby Climber]

"A"-TEAM ! Its goofy but I liked it!:P :lol:

[squisher]

You'd have to be a FOOl not to SUCKA!:lol:

[The Branch Doctor]

Hey man the A-team is still cool.:D

[Old Monkey]

I was the same way with Petticoat Junction. :drink:

The blond sister was my favorite. I was definitely in love with her.

[MasterBlaster]

I always wanted to be in that water tower.

[The Branch Doctor]

It looks fun. Most of the challenges look climber friendly. And the chicks are hot.

[Hobby Climber]

Not that I remember much about the show now but "Gentle Ben" was my favorite TV show as a kid. A big bear, the out doors and an air-boat...need I say more!;)

One of the ESPN's is running re-runs of the original gladiators. My son can't believe it is a real show.

[Paul B]

watching the end of the show now, ha, its about as good as the first run. with the Hulkster(tm) hosting. thats cool.

I must admit that I found Elly May both wholesome and toothsome.

(I'm responding to the Petticoat Junction memories as far as AM GLAD is concerned -I'm sort of watching a recording of it now. Just as wild and harebrained as the first rendition.)

[GASoline71]

I was the same way with Petticoat Junction. :drink:

... or the Benny Hill Show...

On topic... I always thought American Gladiators was kinda dorky...

[Cedarkerf]

Yes Benny hill was good fun. Loved the lacey chace scenes. Get rid of that helga thing(yuk) need a little more focus on the gals and better costumes:/:

[Rotax Robert]

MXC is better than gladiators and Grizzly Adams was the best ever.

Hulk Hogan is hilarious. Have you checked out Hogan's Run on MTV?

[MasterBlaster]

Is that an additional gig over "Hogan Knows Best?"

[Blinky]

Benny Hill was a righteous show... American Gladiators was pretty much a last ditch refuge from complete boredom... but then, I've never seen a single full episode of survivor either.

[TheTreeWiseMen]

Benny Hill, smutty British humour at it's best.

[Tom_Scheller]

Who wouldn't want Helga (http://www.nbc.com/American_Gladiators/bios/hellga.shtml) to be their groundie?

HELLLLLLLGAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!
