Television producers are piggybacking on the success of the return of NBC’s American Gladiators on NBC with of the mid-’90s kids series Gladiators 2000, hosted by Ryan Seacrest. MGM is offering thirty-nine episodes of the action show to air in syndication.

According to The Hollywood Reporter:

“Gladiators 2000,” which was designed to be a companion to the original “American Gladiators,” features teens competing in games that challenge their physical abilities as well as their knowledge of nutrition, fitness and the human body.

“The series offers stations a unique alternative to weekend (i.e., educational) programming, and with the current success of the new NBC version of ‘Gladiators,’ it’s a great fit,” MGM Worldwide Television co-president Jim Packer said.
