Gladiators
20 May 2008 – 9:00 pm
This weekend I discovered American Gladiators on Hulu and I’m embarrassed to say that I watched all of the episodes.
Truthfully, I’m not completely sure why, I can’t stand reality TV shows and hate “professional” wrestling, but once I watched the first episode I was hooked.
Few possibilities:
- perhaps it’s a flashback to when I was a kid and would watch the original
- the contraptions make no sense, but still draw you in (eg. “jousting” with huge q-tips while standing on small pads over a pool of water)
- parts of it remind me of my old wrestling days
- maybe it’s just Jet
In any case it made good background noise while I caught up on emails.
