It’s 2024, you can still eat cereal, and you can watch the 1993 Gladiators series at your leisure.
Nice try Kellogg’s CEO Gary Pilnick, you can’t trick me!

Gary who? My name is … err … Pary Gilnick
I was just going to comment on how money bags in 1993 was able to afford cable TV like that … I was more than happy in 1993 to eat cereal and read what as on the box because the TV we had access to either had Days of our Lives, the Greatest Story Ever Told, an educational program on algebra, local news or a grainy, static filled channel that might have been illegally broadcast porn.
It wasn’t only on cable TV was it? I swear I remember watching it on local broadcast before my parents had cable.
It was on broadcast TV.
Netflix has an absolutely excellent documentary about Gladiators.
I came to say the same thing. It was so good.
I need to watch that. It was such a part of my childhood
This and Nickelodeon GUTS, with its Aggro Crag final mountain, officiated by Mo!
I was in a webinar yesterday where the host had an identical voice to Mo! Nasally, the accent, spot-on 🤌🏼
I was 24 years old, but yeah, that’s still accurate.
Hmmmmm…
2024-1993+24= senior discount.
So close, my birthday is in two weeks, then I’ll start getting the magical old man discounts. And I’m taking them too. I lived this long without dying, so I feel like I’ve earned them!
IHOP, Cracker Barrel, and Hardee’s are calling.
Oh, I’ve got a list, and I’m gonna use every one!
The best is that I get 15% off my groceries at Publix if I buy on Wednesday. With today’s prices, that can start to add up to quite a chunk of change in my favor. New grocery day - Wednesday!
*which cereal I can afford without having to skip milk to afford them both
American Gladiators was part three of Saturday TV after cartoons and pro wrestling lol
I can hear this picture.
The BBC have rebooted the British version recently, it’s not the same of course, but they’re definitely trying to hit the same vibes as the original
Honestly you could redo it with the same sets and outfits and people would still watch it.
should recast with femboys shrieking while fumbling the bazookas.
I can hear the ref in my head already.
“Gllladiatorrrrrs, rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreddy!?”
Chocolate covered sugar bombs.
Now with a propellor beanie! (Does not allow you to fly)
Awwwww!!! … even if I spin really, really, really, really fast?
Maybe if we make it a rule in Calvinball that you get to fly with the beanie…
They’re pretty bland til you scoop some sugar on them
my mouth is already bleeding from goin IN on some peanut butter crunch 🤤
It really destroyed the roof of the mouth, didn’t it.
Like running barefoot through the desert amigo, you feel alive
cap’n those nerve endings
I randomly got this theme song stuck in my head a couple weeks ago. I hadn’t seen or heard the show mentioned since I was a wee babe 30 years ago. So crazy to see this pop up not long after I remembered it
