Pure television crack!



What can I say? I'm hooked on American Gladiators. This show, if not handled carefully, can be addictive to say the least. To be honest, I've never been a fan of pro wrestling, to which this is probably compared. But I love this stuff.

Maybe its the idea that these guys practically leap off a comic books page, I don't know. Or maybe because it doesn't pretend to be more than what it is: a game...or contest if you will. Amateur athletes try their strength against abnormally huge human beings also gifted with the agility of cheetas! All this done in an arena littered with gym mats!

For once, television has brought back a show worth resurrecting!
