Once again the brain drain that is American Gladiators will be back on TV tonight. I am not exactly sure how many seasons it has run but American Gladiators is definitely one that glorifies the American jock and while lovers of the show will claim that it is nothing more than a fun game show and that all criticism of it is exaggerated I tend to disagree. There is all that chest beating and uppity showmanship on American Gladiators that really does nothing to dispel the stereotype of the arrogant American jock which can be embarrassing at times. And who best to host the show in 2008 than Mr Jock himself, Hulk Hogan. He is perfect for American Gladiators for our times and I am always surprised he isn't one of the guys you have to get past on the show as well. Perhaps it is just the age but the guy looks perpetually pumped on something so he could be Mr American Gladiators himself. Now that's quite hilarious if you ask me. :)
I would rather actually watch House on FOX even though the station is a load of rubbish most times. Ok I admit that although I love cars and is fast on track to becoming a car jock, I will never be that American jock that you see glorified on American Gladiators. That is just plain crazy and I prefer sarcastic miserable doctors on House.
