American Gladiators is on!

"So there, we have figured it out, go back to bed America, your government has figured out how it all transpired. Go back to bed America, your government is in control again. Here, here's American Gladiators. Watch this, shut up. Go back to bed America, here's American Gladiators. Here's 56 channels of it. Watch these pituitary retards bang their fuckin skulls together and congratulate you on living in the land of freedom. Here you go America, you are free... to do as we tell you. You are free, to do as we tell you." - Bill Hicks

1. Couple NFL playoff games today.

Yet, no rage against that machine?

"Pituitary retards" aside and all.

2. Nope. Just looking for an excuse to post a Hicks quote.

NFL doesn't help me out much.

Now COPS on the other hand...

3. ok, so is AG really on again or not?

I was just thinking recently what a shame it was to lose that fantastic sort of programming from the airwaves.... it's been taken over by the same thing, but now they have the same contestants for six weeks, talk about their emotions and call it a "reality show". I liked the older, honest, game show. ..... American Gladiators was just a game show that involved ridiculous stunts and an obstacle course.

4. Oh yeah, it's back

Hulk Hogan hosts! Pure trash! But at least they don't pretend otherwise.

5. awesome

I live in England now, and I doubt it'll make the jump, but I've got my fingers crossed. Every night in England they still show repeats of a 1980's Japanese game show called Takeshi's Castle. It's awesome.... something inbetween American Gladiators, a family trip to a water park, and getting kicked in the balls.
