OK, like the rest of America, I am stoked for the new American Gladiators. You need to know that this was the greatest show of my childhood. Seriously. Saturday morning, my brother and me sitting in front of the TV. We were completely enthralled with the likes of Nitro, Tower and Turbo. We hung on every word of Mike Adamle and Larry Csonka as they took us play by play through events like Assault, Break Through and Conquer, Joust, The Wall, Swingshot and of course The Eliminator...
...However, the new series is not without its flaws. NBC, listen up, because I'm willing to work with you guys here....
-Too many crazy camera angles that make it tough to follow the action. Just give it to me straight, folks.
-Too many (scripted) interviews. I don't want to hear every competitor say they're giving 110% before every performance. Less talk, more rock.
-The announcer sucks.
-Not a mistake.
-And of course, the lack of the greatest comptetitor of all time:
Erik- Can I get a witness?
