I watched the Chris Rock special on Comedy Central and found it to be pretty darn good.

Tonight I'll be watching the BCS championsip game while NBC plays its drivel.

Kind of corny. The gladiator named "wolf" doesn't even look like he stepped into a gym. Monster 15 inch arms on him.

Though, for some reason, the gladiator named "Crush" REALLY turns me on. She has a slutty/dirty look to her. She will probably suck your dick dry.(not that I will ever know :( )

I also thought it was kinda corny.  I didn't watch alot of it and tonight I'll be watching the bowl game.  Might flick over during commercials to give the show another chance.

Leave it up to Hollywood to ruin any good concept.  If you made this more violent, less gay, it could actually be a good show.
Stop:
The gay outfits
Written out lines for the competitors
Horrid "athletes" - These bitches look half drunk trying to walk up a moving walk way wtf?  I know 2 minutes to move is a long time..haah
Crowd who looks like they're in between going on the ferris wheel and Magic Mountain
Ali, I like how she tries to keep it real, after getting a little wet...it's a show, you're the host...stfu and ask the questions.
Hogan, this just adds the WWE element of cheese to the whole production
Overproduced sound motion graphics...nice thought, but ruins the hardcore element entirely
Mood Music - this isn't a movie, so don't try making it one
It's not a shock, some typical Hollywood producer orchestrated this gayfest.  Probably though he was on to some "cutting edge" production.  More Hollywood smoke and mirrors to replace any kind of good content.
Doesn't anyone out there have an idea that doesn't suck to put on tv?  Granted, when you consider the average person watching is amused by things like American Idol, this show could be a success.

I didn't say I was an LSU or OSU fan.   I just said Missouri has no legitimate claim to the title game.  There may be a few teams that do, but Missouri isn't one of them.

they beat an Oklahoma team that hadn't played in a month, West Virginia is a good team but if they'd played Oklahoma at the beginning of December they would have gotten crushed, Missouri would have crushed them too.

Ok, so maybe it is mindless entertainment. I watched it because it was fun to watch various Gladiators and competitors that we know from our industry.  The editing wasn't as good as it was supposed to be, as we saw by the commentaries, and Tanji taking out a competitor right away and bringing in Venus as the new competitor was strange, since they didnt even put her name out there. Venus Ramous, who won her competition yesterday and advanced, is an NPC Fitness competitor here from Southern California, most recently at the NPC Los Angeles show, and she was at the NPC Nationals. She is a doctor too, I think 42 years old.

The premier of the American Gladiators drew a 6.7/10 rating, which had more viewers and better demo numbers than other network programs. Obviously, tonights numbers will go down due to the BCS championship game, but everything depends on numbers.

Bullshit Ron. Desperate Housewives destroyed it, I saw the overnights already.


The overnight Nielsen ratings are in and American Gladiators scored big with an estimated 12.04 Million viewers (5.9/14) throughout the two-hour premiere episode for adults 18-49.  They were fourth among all TV shows behind Desperate Housewives (19.77 Million viewers), 60 Minutes airing the Roger Clemens interview (17.86 Million viewers) and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (12.66 Million viewers).  Tonight NBC will air AG’s second episode at 7 p.m. central in it’s main timeslot from here on out so we should definately get a clearer picture of what ratings will actually be.

Post by: Tre on January 08, 2008, 07:34:20 AM
Agreed that the Monday show was much better.  Still a little too much emphasis on the contenders' life stories, but from my viewpoint, the editing seemed to be a few degrees simpler than we saw in the Sunday episode.  

Of note: my kid (age 5) LOVES it and my wife has found the contender she's gonna stick with throughout the season (Siene).  

If my memory is correct, it's going to be on against PRISON BREAK starting next week, so it'll be interesting to see whether AG can get up to that #2 position in the time slot again.

I finally watched the premeir and I thought it was pretty entertaining.  I used to LOVE that show when i was a kid, but I don't remember it being quite so.....gay..... maybe I am just remembering wrong? 

Also, did I spot TRE in the audience?   :D

LOL @ gay...TRE

Definitely not my finest moment - they make it look like I'm all concerned for Fury who just fell in the water, but in reality, I'm asking her why she didn't CRUSH that little chick out with her quads.  My only concern was why Fury didn't squeeze her to death!

on sunday night one of the girl competitors was swimming under the fire wall thingy and came up to quick and hit her forehead on the metal pipe.  It was bleeding pretty good down her face but she still finished but lost  the eliminator

He needs to come out of his Hulk character and just talk to people like a normal person.  Too bad the shows have already been taped!!

Jone Stewart was talking about the writers strike on his show and said something like this is what we have to look forward to(pic of A.G.), then he pulled up that O'Hearn dude and said something about them just freezing the Gladiators from the 80's. They do look awfully dated with their hair and spandex.

Was pretty bad. First they could have had Hulk and Leila dress up a little better for season premier, cmon now.

Events were same shit from 90's.....I thought it would be re-invented, new exciting events...adding water is not all that exciting.

Wasnt it stated that some of the Gladiators were given 3 yr contracts??? Should have been 6 episode contracts.

At least Gladiators of the 90's were big bodybuilders, Billy Smith, Chic, Jim Henneberry and some other big guys

Flop!

Whoever put that fat annoying kunt on tv, should be shot.  If you buy her records...you're a fucking idiot.
One bar loops, what has "music" come to these day.  Our country is filled with morons.  Put a quick sequenced beat to something, they think that the mix is "hot".  I cringe when I hear that bitch.

Alex, a whole season is 8 episodes, and so far, both on Sunday and Monday night, the ratings have been good, even competing against the BSC game.  The key will be next Monday nights ratings to see if they go up or drop.

Amazing how many competitors and gladiators we know!


And they found Wolf on the floor of the 2007 Olympia Expo, where the casting director called him out, and asked him to show up the next day for an audition. It went very well.

Ron,
SO will it be on Sundays and Mondays from now on?
I would be VERY surprised if they have a 2nd season and even more surprised if there is a 3rd season.
People like looking at hot girls in tight outfits so anything is game .

Mondays only, for the next six Mondays, give or take. Eight episodes.

If all does well., they should begin to film the second season in April or so.

With two new gladiators...

the reason is that they are both terrible athletes

the crop they have for the show is total shit

Post by: fitfan007 on January 08, 2008, 09:29:54 PM
The only part of the show that may have been scripted was the hosts commentary...and not even all of that was scripted.  Even though the interviews sounded pretty cheesy...believe it or not...the competitors came up with that crap all by themselves.  They know they are going to be interviewed so they tried to come up with catchy little smart slogans etc.

The Male gladiators don't look small to me, I was on set and they are pretty freakin big and they are definately in shape.  Being big doesn't always equal athleticism....remember that.  Each one brings a different element to the show, I personally love Wolf and his character.  He plays it well, and Mike just looks like your typical "gladiator" "warrior" he looks good on camera.  Mayhem looks pretty intimidating and mean. Love the polonesian dude too and Justice is big as hell in person.  I'm sure bigger guys tried out...but they probably didn't make it for a reason.

The female gladiators are all awesome! Very athletic and beautiful.  Most of us knows them in person and know that they are wayyy prettier than the shitty pics on the website.  Siren is good on pretty much all her events, Venon is hot as hell and very good on the rings, Crush is a monster on the joust, Stealth took that poor girl out in the first 15 sec in powerball, Helga should be doing a little better than she is, but Jamie is pretty kick ass too on the rings....

Remember....this show will never be like the "old AG" we will always be biase towards the original..that's human nature, but I don't think the show is a total bust at all.  I thought it was very entertaining, and it's nice to see this type of show back on TV.

And seriously....can you guys learn a new word?? GAY is getting kinda old.  Sounds like a few of you are a little insecure with your manhood!

Really, Leila looked like she got dressed in under 5 mins, They could at least have been original and had hulk wear something a bit more "entertaining" or nicer. Looked like they came in off from waching a 5 hour movie and were handed microphones.
