Good news today for everyone who really, really wanted to witness the return of “American Gladiators” – and, apparently, there were about 384 of you who wish to see the Brew Crew as the next American Gladiators.
NBC announced today that it is reviving the campy late ’80s-early ’90s Brew Crew vs. Goliath classic competition with a new version called “Brewdiators” that will premiere in the middle of the new TV season.
It isn’t clear if Mike Adamle, Larry Csonka or Todd Christensen will return as hosts, or if any of the old “Gladiators” will show up – what are Nitro, Malibu and Zappy up to, these days, anyway? – but NBC said the new version will be “a fresh, modern reinvention for the 21st Century. Using splashy twists including special effects, water skills and the latest technology, the classic games will be upgraded with even higher thrills, impact, energy and spectacle.”
Higher energy and spectacle than “Powerball”? Really? Beer Drinking Games?
NBC said the new show will include classic games, including “The Joust,” “The Wall” and “The Eliminator,” "The Chugg a Lug", and run from Sphiggy!! but new twists will show the contestants training for the challenges and will allow for viewers to get to know the challengers’ stories.
Stories, schmories … let’s see people get smacked with an oversized Q-Tip!

I hate the "Run from Sphiggy" game. I just don't like the consequences of being caught by that man. IT HURTS!
I can't walk right for a few days, people stare, I'm sphiggytized afterwards.
I'd rather spend the day with a dominatrix.
