My wife is elated. She's told me too many stories about growing up down the street from the production studios from the original show. Apparently people used to line up around the block to get in.

My favorite event was Assault. I played a mock version with my neighbors with nerf weapons.

The Joust!!

As long as they keep it close enough to the original and not try to turn it into the WWF or some such nonsense, this could be pretty cool.

Yep, on Thanksgiving of last year, ESPN classic had a 24 hour marathon of American Gladiators.

I always thought I that I could do well on that show, especially in the Wall, Breakthrough & Conquer, (at least the the Breakthrough part) and Assault. Oh, and powerball. That looks like fun.

I would love to do the obstacle course too.

I watched a couple of old eps on Classic with my 80-something grandpa in Louisiana. He had never seen it, so it was new to him. Good times.
