I feel like most Saturday TV from my childhood wouldn't hold up, but in my mind at least Gladiators was the exception! Really hope they don't ruin it.

    Ha, I enjoyed that. Trashy TV of the most enjoyable kind but good clean fun as well. Although I have to agree with whoever it was on Mastodon said that it looked like every round was designed to cater to a very specific kink or fetish!

    I have no idea, we mostly only watch TV TV when Eurovision is on!

    We fell in with a new group of friends over the last few years, the type of friends that have house parties for events. We've introduced them to the wonders of Eurovision, and it's now one of the events that warrants a house party.

    I think this year we're telling one of the families that it's fancy dress, and they have to come as their pick from last year, but nobody else is dressing up and everybody else is in on the joke. It's gonna be a hoot. Can't wait.

    Unless you get Uno reversed and the joke is really that everyone is in fancy dress except you.

    I must be one of the few who hated it when it was on during the 90's. I know it was insanely popular but I never got why.
