This makes me laugh every time I watch it!

American Gladiators, once a sports-like event in the early 90s, has become a spectacle once again, but in reality format. The format of the new series is similar to the original, with many of the same events such as Joust, Hang Tough, Assault and the final challenge, the Eliminator. The stark difference between American Gladiators of the 90s and American Gladiators of the new millennium is the added dramatic effects such as events over water and lakes of fire. This seems to be the new face of American television, and I think it’s here to stay.

I realize that these guys goal in life is just to get money and do movies they like, but why is it so goddamn entertaining?

If you thought Lost couldn’t get anymore stranger, you were wrong. We now have new cast members and new stories. I’m not quite sure if we can consider them flashbacks or expositions to their character’s stories, or are we still in flashforward mode? The addition of a physicist, a paleontologist, a drunken pilot and a ghostbuster is definitely intriguing—especially because they are lead by Naomi, a character who was murdered at the end of season three.

As Lost has its long await season four premier, I throw a mini Lost party to celebrate the show. As we discuss the show, we find many intriguing new plot points and several unresolved issues that still bug the hell out of us.
