American Gladiators
hulkster:
i for one thought the new AG.....SUCKS! im obviously a huge hulk hogan fan, and he did alright....but the show sucks horribly. they took the olympic feel out of the events, and so much of it looks staged. i watched the first episode, but ill never watch another. :soapbox:

I never liked human canonball. Wow, I swung on a rope and hope the gladiator screws up. Yep, that was a real skilled event there.

Maybe you have yoru nostalgia glasses on, but the original Ag was incredibly cheesy as well. There wasn't any "olympic quality" to be had back then either, but you were young at the time so you probably didn't notice. ;)

well yeah, i remember thinking xmen the cartoon was the greatest cartoon ever created, but when i watched it recently, it wasnt as "awesome" as i remembered. still, the old AG concentrated more on the event than where the contenders had for breakfast during the interviews. the camera shots are too quick in the new one, and the fake drama just blows.

Sadly, I think that is pretty true. I LOVED the original American Gladiators, but less so as the series went on. Thinking about it now, it's probably because I was getting older and that, in it of itself, is kind of depressing. There is something about this new version that seems really different from the older version and yet I can't seem to put my finger on it. As time goes on, I'm beginning to think that it's because I'm just getting older and don't have the same view on life and my surroundings as I did when I was 12 years old.
