Okay, so the Writer's Guild of America strike is on and the second season of Heroes was insanely short, but look, on the up side, the Peacock is bringing back American Gladiators! Okay, so they're not really bringing it back, which would be hideous, let's face it: those early nineties had more than a few ugly moments and they can stay back in the... early nineties, but NBC's revival of the franchise may actually be quite a bit more promising than you might think. Now let's throw out right away that sports entertainment icon Hulk Hogan, now turned reality television B-lister and, more recently, divorcee, will supposedly be hosting the series along with Laila Ali (whose last name I hope you recognize, you know, since that's what she's riding on). Instead, let's try to focus on the concept of the series, which is that some Regular Joes will take on Professional Athletes in Arena-style challenges. Let's face it; there's nothing else like this on television. Oh. Okay, well, there's nothing else like this on Free television. You know what, though? Personally, I'm glad that well-toned and -muscled athletes will be donning garish futuristic spandex costumes to engage in martial contests. Maybe it will bring the Power Rangers back into the mainstream.
