From The Past: January 8, 2008

American Gladiators is back on TV and it is just as good as it was years ago when I watched. It came on Sunday and Monday night this week, but I believe Monday will be its regular night from now on.

Last night was also the season premiere of Jon & Kate plus 8. If you missed it, don’t worry, they will replay it again. I cannot get enough of this show and these people!

Tonight we will watch The Biggest Loser. So far, this show seems to have a lot of positive things going for it. The only bad thing I observed in the first episode was that the older adults are expected to compete and keep up with the younger adults. That doesn’t seem quite fair. But, American Gladiators doesn’t seem fair a lot of the time either. For example (my numbers are not exact), you can have a man who is 5’7 and weighs 150 pounds compete against a gladiator who is 6’4 and weighs 230 pounds. Since this is my first time watching these shows, I won’t judge them too quickly.

This afternoon Guido and Church enjoyed the warm January temperatures. They love having the screen door open:

This is definitely odd for January!
