They tried to *modernize* it a bit, brother, some of these things make it a little annoying at times, brother, but for the most part, brother it’s the same show as before. It’s nice having a DVR so you can speed through the interview crap with Hulk, Laila and the contestants. Overall, I’m glad the show is back on the air. Watching the show last night made me feel like I was 11 again!
Oh yeah, before I forget, it’s all about The Wolf! Where do they find people like this?
My only complaint is the eliminator. It’s clearly too long and too difficult. When all the contestants and falling over and can barely run at the end, it’s not very exciting. Bring back the original eliminator!
The wolf is cool.

Yeah the cargo net after the pool kills people… and that girl bumped her head on the fire water thing.
It WAS pretty hard to watch the pooped girls fight their way to the final.

Wolf is by far the Greatest.
(HOWL)
They just need more events. Like Atlasphere and Human Cannonball.
I am also in to Venom for the looks, and Hellga for the Meatiness

I’m watching the 2nd half of the premiere, and the “attitude” of the show is annoying. It’s more wrestling than sporting event. In the original the gladiators were intimidating, but they at least had a good relationship with the contenders. This show is full of trash talking and stupid attitude. Eh.

I watched the premiere and was fortunate enough to be able to skip the awful interviewing and bios. It ended up being a fairly quick 30min show without all the jibber jabber, brother! Overall, brother, I enjoyed the show, but I don’t know how anyone could sit through an hour of all the fluff.

Third episode was much of the same, the attitude is still annoying and there is just too much filler…
I’m still enjoying the show but it does require skipping to the meat!

Yup, I watched it as well. Fast forward through the crap and you have a decent show. I laugh everytime the ref says “Gladiator’s ready?” to the female’s and they strike some lame pose.

This will sound strange… the thing that continues to bug me the most is the ref and how he starts the event:
“Is the contender ready, is/are the gladiator(s) ready… (whistle)”
where in the original version:
“Contenders-Reaaaaaaaady… Gladiators-Reaaaaaady… (Whistle)”
Again seems anal but it gets me every time!

A friend at work said the same thing. And now that he pointed it out, it bugs me too.

Simpsons just aired the one were Millhouse’s mom starts dating the American Gladiator, and he picks her up in the giant hamster ball cage thing. Are they using those this time around?

I miss Larry Kzonka. The former football player with the mustache who always called the play by plays. I also miss Nitro. He was my favorite.
