American Gladiators. Back on the air.


Seeing the commercial for this kind of pulled into focus exactly how jacked this writer’s strike is.



One of my coworkers pointed out this gem from the classic old school version. Deron McBee, aka Malibu Lazer. awesom.

His wikipedia biography is completely amazing. The choice quote is:

His most famous role is probably that of Motaro in the second Mortal Kombat film. McBee’s B-Movie experience is highlighted by the The Killing Zone. In the DVD extras, McBee states that he has produced his impressive physique by abstaining from steroids and using a combination of prayer and faith.

It occurs to me that American Gladiators was the jump off for so much guilty pleasure TV of the last 10 years. I’m thinking MTV Challenge shows. Survivor. Most Extreme Elimination Challenge….If only more of the contestants had mullets.
