Title: "Gladiators" Renewed
Post by: uncamark on January 14, 2008, 06:42:16 PM

James Hibberd of TV Week reports:

http://www.tvweek.com/news/2008/01/nbc_cal..._gladiators.php (http://\"http://www.tvweek.com/news/2008/01/nbc_calls_for_more_gladiators.php\")

And Hibberd interviews Ben Silverman on NBC's ratings spikes during the shank of the WGA strike, including on topic comments on "Gladiators" and "DOND":

2nd verse, same as the first.  Or so it seems.

Buzzerblog also mentions the prospect of an animated series.  This is obviously because Toa and Wolf aren't enough like cartoon characters.

/Not to mention Hogan

You're absolutely right. I am utterly humbled that I greatly underestimated the potential audience for this festering pile of monkey crap. Next time I'll be sure to reduce my level of faith in the TV viewing audience.

/is this guy for real?

Yeah, that wasn't unprovoked or anything.

(A gentle reminder before you respond: this is not worth a life-or-death battle.  Cool it.)

He insisted that the show wasn't going to get a second season. As a matter of fact, if I'm not mistaken, he reiterated that point in the same post he made. Crow is in order for him.

(And just for the record, I don't like the show much either. I also don't like it when people swear things are going to happen one way and the exact opposite happens.)

(I also didn't appreciate the insult either from him...)

I'm genuinely curious--what was your opinion of the original AG?

Am I the only one that's getting really tired of PYLDude's insistence on keeping a "rivalry" with Chris?

If you're obnoxious enough when you point out a mistake, it's amazing how people will not care so much about the mistake as about the obnoxiousness.

Not your decision to make, and certainly not a reason to start a fight.

You've been told once before not to stir crap up by dragging in old incidents from other threads.

You've been warned privately, and now you're being warned publicly: start another one of these wars of yours, and you'll spend some quality time in the Isolation Booth.

Hey look, an article with a quote saying Silverman is trying to replace last-place NBC's quality programs with junk.

Have I somehow found a conduit back to 1980?
