American Gladiators 2008
The show that was unquestionably the most important cultural event in all of human history returns on January 6 on NBC. I think I've read that it will be fundamentally different from the original run, but I don't know what that entails.
As a kid, I had a weekend ritual: American Gladiators followed by Degrassi Junior High, because nothing goes better with American Gladiators than Canadian angst. I watch AG on ESPN when I can, and it hasn't lost a thing.

Re: American Gladiators 2008
Hulk Hogan is what it entails. And, quite honestly, isn't that the one thing that could make American Gladiators even better?

Re: American Gladiators 2008
I'll be watching as I'm curious to see what they do with an updated version.
My favorite event, which I hope they keep, but update really cool is where one of the gladiators is firing at one of the contestants with an air gun and the contestant runs to different weapons stations knocking out the gladiators target.

Re: American Gladiators 2008
Assault. They should definitely have a version of that, since it's really close to what kids are playing with multiplayer first-person shooters.
