Tonight, as my wife curled up on the couch reading the latest Nicholas Sparks book, I took advantage of her being occupied and turned on the television, just looking to turn off my brain for a few hours after Youth Group and before I start my work week. After watching the republican debate on Fox News, I started to skim through the channels and happened across the premier of—-AMERICAN GLADIATORS!

About, two months ago, I was up late not able to sleep and found the original series on ESPN classic, a show that I was hooked on as a teenager, staying up late almost every Friday night. It was a great night of reliving the glory of those years. I knew the show was coming back, but I really wasnt looking forward to a more modern version….

BUT

As I watched I was thoroughly impressed with the show. It held true to the original series. The cinematography even matched the “amateurish” quality that the original series had. The events, very much the same events that held my attention so many years ago. I laughed, chuckled and was completely entertained for the next two hours. Great Job NBC!!!

My wife finished the book and I finished a stroll down memory lane….
