Last month NBC pulled their library of shows from iTunes, and had some not-so-nice things to say about Apple. Why? Basically NBC got greedy, and wanted to jack the price up for NBC content that was offered over iTunes. Now, it looks like NBC is singing a different song.

We’ve had 3 episodes so far, and NBC has already ordered a second season of American Gladiators. There isn’t any additional information available at this time. No clue when season two will air, or how many episodes it will be. Or even if the Hulkster will be back.

Looks like fans of Journeyman are taking a page out of the Jericho book. When CBS canceled Jericho, fans (including me) sent tons of nuts to CBS headquarters. The nutty planned worked, and soon Jericho will be back for a short season two. Now fans are trying a similar approach with NBC over Journeyman.

While it’s not as cool as the whole “Nuts for Jericho / Save Jericho” campaign, the Save Journeyman campaign is asking fans to send in Rice-A-Roni to NBC and NBC Universal executives. Why send in boxes of “The San Fransisco Treat”? Because Journeyman is set in that location. Duh.

NBC ’s Universal Studios has officially debunked rumors that it was dumping HD-DVD and moving to Sony’s Blu-Ray format. This is good news for the HD-DVD fans, earlier this week it was looking as if HD-DVD was dead and the HD format wars were over with.

If you caught tonights episode of American Gladiators, there was a contestant on from East Tennessee. Jeff Chapman is a Maryville native who graduated from William Blount High School in 1999. He’s a radcon tech in Oak Ridge, operates a karate studio in Kingston, and participates in amateur cage fights in Kentucky on the weekends.

Sadly for Jeff his martial arts training wouldn’t be enough for him. He blew a four second head start in “The Eliminator” and was ultimately defeated by the reverse escalator. Better luck next time Jeff!

Tonight was the two hour premier of an all new American Gladiators. And wow, is it back! The gladiators are amazing, and so are the contestants so far, especially the last 4 that competed. The wife and I will be tuning in Monday night during their scheduled time.

So far we’ve already had 1 contestant eliminated due to injury, as well as a gladiator hurt. And with the way the guys are playing, I’m sure well see a lot more bruises before it’s all over with.

I will admit though, it’s kinda odd seeing Hulk Hogan hosting the show. I keep wanting to see him run out and body slam someone. :D

Oh, does anyone know what happened with the original gladiators? I’d be interested in seeing a “where are they now” special on them.

In case you haven’t heard, on Friday it was announced that Warner Bro would be releasing content exclusively on Blu-Ray. The next day New Line Cinemas (owned by AOL Time Warner) announced that they too would be going exclusively Blu. This is a major blow to the HD-DVD community.

While it’s bad news for HD-DVD fans and supporters, this could be a good thing for consumers. With two competing high definition disk formats (HD-DVD and Blu-Ray) things were a tad bit confusing for the average consumer. You’ll still be able to pick up WB and NLC movies on both formats until May, which is when WB’s contract ends with HD-DVD.

This pretty much only leaves Paramount and NBC Universal supporting the HD-DVD format.

I didn’t really watch either one of these shows, but since I just posted about a cancellation by NBC, I figured I could post about a couple of others. USA Network, which is owned by NBC, has canceled The 4400 and The Dead Zone. No mention whether the ongoing WGA strike played a part in either one of these cancellations.

Last night way probably the last episode of Journeyman. Previous reports indicated that due to the current WGA strike and the show’s low ratings, that it probably wouldn’t be picked back up. The show was a bit slow to start, but I enjoyed watching it, and I thought it got better as the show went on.

That’s ok, I’m getting use to the networks canceling shows that I enjoy.
