American Gladiators


Somehow this show made it to air in two separate series:
1989–1996
2008

The show is currently in hiatus, but not officially cancelled.  According to Wikipedia, it may show up at a later date on another network.  NBC still has an active page for it.

Its inevitable that this show will re-surface; and eventually it will turn itself into the Running Man, or the competition from Idiocracy.  We can only hope.

    idiocracy is a great movie.
    american gladiators was (and is) a great show.

  2. It only matters what you think...
    These examples are set forth not to judge whether they are acceptable from an artistic perspective, but for the statements made within about society both present and future.

    Personally I think both Running Man and Idiocracy are genius. The genius of American Gladiators is questionable, or at least the jury is still out.
