Give us the whole season 1

I love the highly experimental nature of the first season. You have the legendary Joe Theismann as an early announcer, and Mike Adamle actually demonstrating how the events worked. Larry Thompson was a great referee but I always loved the executioner style ref of the first season.

Yes! The first season of the American Gladiators is going to be awesome! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💪💪💪💪

What humble beginnnings for an American (and UK) Saturday television revolution 😅🎉

This show kicked ass

For me this was American Gladiators at it's best, WCW-style wrestling personalities, awkward contestant spots ("a hockey enthusiast") and the ref dressed as an executioner. Wish it would have stayed this way, later it was much more influenced by football, but for me it started out PEAK!

Use to watch this as a kid...those were the dayz

Yes been waiting for the old episodes ✊️

We want specials and we want them NOW!!!!!

I just finished watching the Netflix doc,,they all still look amazing

Damn, I use to love this show. I was only a pup when this aired, wish I could’ve gone on there.

Awesome! Keep em coming!

Nitro got trucked lol. I remember this whole episode when it originally aired. Yes, I'm that old.

So it seems like we’re going back to the beginning, and possibly showing all of the missing episodes, including any Special Celebrity, Sports, or Military Episodes along the way. We as fans at least deserve that much, to have the Full Series shown in its Entirety.

Love watching these Nitro and Turbo Siren and Zap are beasts and rip siren

Love the last episode with Joe Theissman

S7 just finished so obviously let's start from the beginning again

I remember watching this back in 1990. So frickin hard to believe thst eas o er 30 years ago

Powerball: "There's going to be a little bit of meat slapping around". Well said Mr commentator.

Craig Williams had a fantastic performance in the 1st Round of American Gladiators.

This early half-season may be rough but you have to admit, this style of Assault is way more interesting than when they used basic platforms for all the stages.

Oh yes Nito. The American Bad boy!

Watched it all the time when it was on then

As expected, that's all the episodes we're going to get.

Sunny was so beautiful 😍❤ It's a shame her AG career got cut short because for whatever reason some "genius" decided to elevate the Conquer ring by about a couple feet. Sunny fell off the ring when a contender successfully pushed her off, which injured her leg and that was it for her on the show. 😢

" A hockey enthusiast" lmao

Let’s go Craig!!!!

It's crazy looking back now, that they had no helmets for some of the events

A fascinating decision by the wardrobe department: give Zap boy pants.

22:42 is the best part of the episode for me. Hands down.

It's surprising that the first contender won the first ever event in American Gladiators via disqualification.

Ha, my husband was trying to remember the name of this show. Not only did I remember it, I still knew the theme Tune! 🤣

Next Friday! I'll try and make it, if not on the upload

I know it was s1e1 but oh man the gladiators looked really green here, still love it though

This show developed SO much! I didn't know that Nitro and Zap were in it from the beginning!

..this is so 'total recall-ish'.. nice..

The first episode of season 1 was already uploaded 5 years ago, hey I don't mind of the first episode of season 1 being reuploaded again.

One of the greatest of life's mysteries: What the hey is Season 1-A's Women's Swingshot?!?!

S01E02 of American Gladiators please

The show now comes on the Viceland channel Tuesdays mornings.

This was before (better) safety gear and updated rules were applied to Contenders and Gladiators to reduce chances of injuries. 35:10 My favorite scene with a screaming swing.

Two Of The Gladiators Played Pro Football Michael Horton AKA Gemini Played For The Washington Federals Of The Usfl Dan Clark Played For The Los Angeles Rams Of The Nfl If You Are Wondering Who The Host Of America Gladiators Was It Was Joe Theismann Who Won Two Superbowls With The Washington Redskins.

When are you gonna put episode 2 on American Gladiators Season 1?

44:16 "American Gladiators is a Trans World International Entertainment production, produced in association with Four Point Entertainment and is distributed by Samuel Goldwyn Worldwide Television Distribution."

Happy Birthday, Joe Theismann.

This version of The Joust was the best version

any chance we can see what the never aired version of swingshot looked like?

18:50 this is joey t's kind of event

My favorite @ 14:19

When will the rest of the episodes of season 1 of American Gladiators be uploaded, it's been 4 months now?

Was it the first episode already up?

I took my girlfriend to the Philadelphia auto show in 1992. Laser was there. His forearms were the largest I'd ever seen.

4:49 already got disqualified

20:32 judge says TD

Joe Theismann had a LEG UP on the competition...too soon?

Sunny 🥰

Weird question.... Wonder if the channel would be able to thumb through unedited tape (if it still exists) to show us the original Swingshot?

where is the rest of season 7 and 8 ?

Brenda Hund was fantastic in the Women's 1st Round on American Gladiators.

As someone who grew up on the UK version of the show, this feels really weird. Our version was filmed in one of the biggest arenas in the UK, had a huge crowd, used loads of pyro and effects, there was music all over it... this feels so small and cheap in comparison. Did the US version get bigger in later seasons or was it always like this? The Eliminator set looks like it's made of plywood and they've cheaply repurposed Powerball bins as obstacles! The Eliminator was better here generally; it was much more elaborate and set over multiple levels. It also went off with a staggered start, the contender in the lead getting to go first, so whoever crossed the line first was just the winner, you didn't need to work out aggregates like this one. Plus the scoring system was different so you didn't end up with ridiculous, impossible deficiences like 31 seconds to overcome.

You can so see the 80s vibe in the outfits and hair, and the headbands which seemed to serve no purpose

I had their toys when I was little

On season 1 did they have spotters and assistants of the American gladiators?

No helmets or anything. How did this show get approved safety wise back in the late 1980s

5:17 so that's where the Zodiac killer ended up

Gemini always plays fair

I was the utimeate gladiator in my mind. I thought I could beat anyone. Then I saw NITRO. Lol😂

Warning- The gladiators and contestants are highly trained athletes and have a lifetime of experience, but they are not invincible. Bodies have been broken, necks broken, concussions inflicted, lives shattered, and careers ended in an instant. Although it is entertainment, the hazards are real, and the contestants and gladiators take real risks, endure unimaginable pain, and put their bodies, their careers, and their lives on the line. Don't risk yours! Be Smart! Be Safe! PLEASE DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME, SCHOOL OR ANYWHERE ELSE!!!

THE GRAND CHAMPIONS OF SEASON 1 Will Choose From A Choice of CHEVROLET CARS

Gemini can't do a thing about it

Another classic moment of Nepotism ruining a cash cow . Nobody cares about Season 4

I barely remember this show at all, I was maybe a few months old when the show started, but I don't remember it being anywhere near this bad either. Probably just the earlier events or format that really didn't age well.

5:15 WAHAHAHAHA ☠️😂😂😂 What a ridiculous 😁🤭 15:22 Poor Nitro 😮 18:37 😮... Lace wins in Human Cannonball 🤔 35:47 "Full shot right on the chest"😨 Well, strange Episode 01 Season 01. My gay comment 🌈 Really beauty Mike Adamle in this first season 😁🤪
