What happened? Turned on the tv to 'Challenge TV' and this was on. Watched a few episodes in the last few weeks and it's such a great idea. It's a show that actually promotes people to get off their arses and do something.

Did it end due to some contenstant injury, or new 'safety' rules being introduced? Or was it just simply the popularity was waneing? :confused:

And yes I know it was cheesy but I'd love to see it make a comeback! :D
 
mmmmmm Jet.....*drools*

Let's start an online petition to get them back on the TV, forget the men gladiators, just the women gladiators and a lot of the games to involve scissor like leg grips and mud. :D
 
People realised it was **** and Younis Urquhart kicked everyone's ass.

Oh, and Linoge, Nightshade would be a reason to not do as you say. Eurgh :(

I only have eyes for Jet and have dreamt about hang tough, hanging on for about an hour while Jet jumps all over me. The stuff of dreams. :p

Nightshade can hold the camera or something. :D
 
The old series are being shown on FTN every week night at 7pm, too.

A Christmas special was on recently that featured Celebrities. Vinnie Jones was one of them, he just spent the entire show winding up the Gladiators and then subsequently getting hammered by them. :D

And yeah, Jet was the sexiest by a long way.
 
Jet was awesome I must admit.

Though after doing a google image search she doesn't look quite so appealing :( Preserve the memory - don't google image search.

Ah stuff it -



:D

Severe lack of popularity would crumble any show :(
Was a good 'saturday night' program when I was young, mmmmm Jet!
Plus Shadow was a total beast (although was brought to his downfull for Steroid abuse)

I think they lost viewers because it became boring due not to re-invent itself and the fact that viewers flocked towards the 'reality' type tv show (how lame!)
 
TBH it wouldnt be as good as it was......

Who remembers Wesley 'Two Scoops' 100 points if anyone can remembe what he used to jump over?? :D
 
Yes it's cheesey but I think it would be great and very entertaining if it made a comeback. If that added some new events and only done it one in a while I think it would kick ass personally.
 
I would really like if they put that Jpanese style one on... it's not a gladiator thing but watching people try to beat those obstacle courses could make brilliant telly.

Eunice Huthart. She did alright for herself out of that. She was better than all the female glads so she romped it every time they bought her back.....

She's never stopped working and worked on some big films from that list.

That's the one!
Think that'd be fantastic telly, and of course because it's so bloomin tough it'd be a far bigger deal if someone won.
