    Yeah, I already made that joke. Get your own material.

    Gladiators. It had something for everyone. It was the pinnacle of your Saturday, nestled nicely between Catchphrase and Blind Date. To me it’s the outright winner of this whole tournament

    I wonder are the episodes viewable any more.

    I can't find a sniff of a boxset or... other sources... anywhere :(

    I was quite a shy child but watching the super confident Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles helped me to come out of MY FUCKING SHELL.

    I vote for the Turtles.

    Yeah, it's actually footage from the colloseum which was used in the show.....

    It's clear now that most of the people voting on this were adult losers in the 90's who spent their Saturday evenings watching idiots on bouncing castles instead of being out having fun.

    Not me I was busy pestering ‘Paul Blart’ types at that hour.

    Gladiators should win because it was peak nostalgia. Saturday night. The smell of chops would be wafting through the house. You’d have the living room to yourself while your ma was in the kitchen washing the floor warning you not to come in. Your older siblings would be getting ready to go out skulling the west coast cooler and your younger brother would be in one of the bedrooms getting abused by your uncle.

    I’ve said too much.

    Season 5 of Gladiators is available On Demand on Sky I've just discovered. That's tonight sorted anyways :D

    You spelt "****" incorrectly, Emmet. The excitement must be getting to you.


  • Registered Users Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭Omackeral


    It's all come down to this. West Philly's Freshest vs The UK's Finest. Which of these programmes do you deem to be the Ultimate Nostalgic Show?

    Only votes cast before 21:00 will count!

    Gladiators. It was a sit around the tv on a Saturday night event.
    Fresh prince was grand if you happened to see it but you wouldn't rush home to watch it.
    I vote gladiators


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,707 ✭✭✭Bobblehats


    Will seems to think there jerkoffs but If they look like winners already it’s because they are.


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 51,214 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Gladiators. I said it in the last round and will repeat:




    It was just epic, unmissable TV each weekend for me.

    If I missed a couple of Fresh Prince episodes I'd miss nothing but I would have had to known how the contenders got on each week and who Wolf targeted.

    And of course this:


    CONTENDER - READY

    GLADIATOR - READY

    3 - 2 - 1

    Also, to not just repeat myself...

    cos of Jet

    Fresh Prince because all the good shows were eliminated.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,027 ✭✭✭Ficheall


    FPBA's opponents in every single one of the previous rounds was superior to it. Smh.



    Gladiators, I guess.


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,601 ✭✭✭✭EmmetSpiceland


    Gladiators.

    For pure nostalgia it should win out against the Fresh Prince.

    And because it has Jet and that whistle guy.

    The Fresh Prince of Bel Air is my favourite programme on television.
    It is the funniest show I watch.
    I like how Carlton is so silly but he is a brilliant dancer. I try to dance like him but I start laughing and have to stop.
    Will is really funny and I also like Geoffrey. Uncle Phil gets really mad sometimes and sounds like my Dad.
    When ever Jazzy Jeff is on the show I think he is funny too.
    Hilary makes me feel funny in my tummy but I don't know why. (Tell me how, aged 11, November 15th, 1990)

    Fresh Prince for the win

    You spelt "****" incorrectly, Emmet. The excitement must be getting to you.

    Actually, it was “night” that was incorrect. The **** was implied.

    Also, you spelled “spelled” incorrectly.
