      I love AG for the cheese factor, but that Ultimate Ninja show (or whatever it’s called) puts it to shame. That show is the shizzle.

      How fun would it be if they armed them with tridents, short swords, nets, spears, shields, and bows and told them: “Ok, now all of you…to the death!”

      Workout towel and water bottle indeed.

    • The Rev. D.D.

      You talking about Ninja Warrior?
      That show IS the shizzle, indeed.

      I dunno about watching this updated AG. Sometimes it’s fun to stop and watch the original on reruns, but was there really a need to update it?
      I might watch if they bring back the tennis ball gun…
