Through my depression of the recent writers strike, I have to say there is some glimmer of hope: American Gladiators. I am really loving this show. I remember watching all the originals as a kid. Seth and I like to watch them on ESPN Classic when we get a chance.
I have to admit that I was concerned that they would really add some cheesy events and screw up what the original did well. I can’t believe how they brought this show back with a good taste of the 21st century. Hulk Hogan and Laila Ali could step it up another notch but I think they will only get better as the show goes along.
There are a couple of gladiators that scare me a little bit. See Hellga: Her picture is attached. Note the spelling is not Helga but HELLga)…she scares the crap out of me. One of her thighs seem bigger than my big belly…meet her in a dark alley and she could whoop your butt.
Anyway, if you haven’t seen it, take a look. I don’t think you will be disappointed.
Peace Out.

Tom and I love watching it, too! Tom watched the originals as a kid, but I never did. I am scared of all the women, Hellga definitely being the scariest! Good to know someone else enjoys it as much as we do. Have a great time at Disney, we’ll miss you guys!
