Title: American Gladiators Question
Post by: 1984Gameshowsfan on November 07, 2007, 11:59:47 AM

I was curious about something regarding this show a couple of days ago, hopefully someone on here can help me out with this. When American Gladiators was on originally did the show air new episodes throughout the entire year or did new episodes run from September through June or July like most game shows do now. I'm thinking that they ran new shows from Sep-June and after that reruns although it was a weekly show so i'm not sure.

Roughly 24-26 episodes per season (don't remember exactly).  The early seasons ran something like this:

First Half -> Rerun First Half -> Second Half (and GC) -> Rerun Second Half.

Later in the run, when there were not halves, repeats were scattershot like most other syndicated shows.
