- This is not ours, but this was one of my fav TV shows when I was a teen and it is great to see it back on. This is one of the very original episodes with Gladiator Malibu and Joe Theismann from 1989. I have included the Intro, game description, show Outro and station ID. Zap was my fav. I wanted to marry her.

my brother is phil carroll he's on this clip he hurts his leg but still won the event. He is a tough sob. hes 54 now.
Does he still have the wicked awesome moustache?
Does your brother still have any video from back in the day? Like home movies of him training for the tryouts or anything?
I use to always watch this show. It aired on Sunday afternoons on Channel 3 in Sacramento.
I
Man, I loved this show!
BTW, this particular episode had TWO contenders going down with an injury (Phil Carrol, who injured his knee in the Powerball event {as we see around 4:22}, and Joanna Needham, who injured her shoulder in Assault and aggravated it further in Breakthrough & Conquer).
My favorite TV game athletic show I enjoyed this version better then the one hosted by hulk hogan this was so much better thx for the excellent upload.😊
The Hulk Hogan version tried too hard to be like American Ninja or those other stupid shows where it was almost impossible to win, and the goal of the events was to see someone fail. The Original American Gladiators was difficult, but not impossible.
@@DIESEL0759our UK version was based on American gladiators.
@@peterwilliamskelhorn6675 Yes, I saw some of UK Gladiators and there's a lot of things coming out now about some of the behind the scenes stuff that the US Gladiators had to deal with. Was a fan of Wolf and Jet.
@@DIESEL0759 they're 2 of my favourites from our gladiators that started in 1992 when i was 1 year old
Oh, my. You were a young'un!
I will say, U.S. or U.K., no reboot will ever match the original.
Don't care if they have flying piranhas on a fire lake of hydrochloric acid, I hate reboots (only seen one ever that was worth anything), and AG reboots just don't have the charm of the original.
The number 1 event I loved the most was The Maze because I loved solving puzzles as a kid.
American Gladiators is celebrating its 25th anniversary
Too bad Canada didn't have their own version of Gladiators, would've been interesting to see it.
This used to be the show
Lol, I just begun watching this season of American Gladiators on TelExitos (Telemundo's second channel). For no reason, they brought it back after the 1993 season.
Best athletic game show devised. Some of these events need to be made into standalone sports.
Powerball is at the top of that list in my eyes.
My childhood memories!!!!!!
From Universal Studios Hollywood this is American Gladiators
please try to put up full episodes thank u
Well if Phil had a mullet, this might not have happend
"Visually interesting." Couldn't be a more underwhelming way of describing something.
It sounded very clunky and awkward.
Visually interesting wtf!?
@MrCodfreak222 This was two decades before his appearance in WWE.
and before he returned to Chicago to become a sports reporter for NBC's WMAQ-5 and for a bit CBS's WBBM-2.
wtf mike adamle from wwe
Yup. This is what he hosted and helped create before WWE
@@chrismc410 Crazy, posted this comment 9 Years ago. I was 13 at that time
@@MarkGoldmanPlaysi remember Mike from international gladiators. Its ok for a UK gladiators fan to the American version
Why did Joe Theisman, and be replaced by Larry Csonka?
I think Theismann wasn't too comfortable as the main host. Also, Csonka didn't immediately replace him. Todd Christensen was Theismann's initial replacement, and then Zonk became Adamle's sidekick.
Todd Christensen was an awful co-host. I hated his time on the show. Even in the 90s, he had awful hair, and he just wasn't very good at the job. No charisma. Should have kept either Theismann or "Zonk". Lisa Malosky was awful, too.
Theismann was working at ESPN as the color commentator on _Sunday Night Football_ and could not return to work the second half of that _American Gladiators_ season.
Go Nancy!
