Nitro, Zap, Gemini

I'm torn. On channel 380 is one of the best Final Fours in years. But on channel 208 is an American Gladiators marathon. You remember American Gladiators. With Gladiators named Nitro, Zap, and Gemini you can see that Ben Stiller totally lifted his three goons in Dodgeball (though "Blade, Razor, and Blazer" are genius). The machines that would hurl tennis balls at you at 100 mph was called the Assault. When played by the women, it was actually referred to as the Women's Assault. You just can't have an event named like that in television today. Currently being interviewed is Christy Cotton, who allegedly is working with Linda Blair on "Repossessed." Details like this just can't be made up. Enjoy "The Eliminator."

Was that A.C. Slater?
I love the hugs at the end, like they've just completed the Iditarod.
