So it really is true. Hollywood/Network Television is soooo out of new ideas that they have to resort to dredging up the past in order to draw and entertain viewers. It's true, I finally believe it.Just this morning while scanning through Xfinity for available TV shows to watch, I stumbled upon Full Metal Jousting. Seriously. Real, honest-to-goodness jousting, with all the blood and danger inherent to what the History Channel is billing as the worlds most dangerous sport. The first episode itself is titled "The Ultimate Extreme sport".
Jousting, for crying out loud! This is one 'remake' I can actually get into! So, sometimes the best idea really is an old idea. But what's next on the entertainment horizon?

Thanks for reminding me that this show existed. Was that the most recent episode, and is the next presented this Sunday? I love medieval history and agree that this is a sport that deserves real consideration. It looks like they've got the safety stuff figured out pretty well.April 6, 2012 at 8:28 AMAs far as I know it's still running. Not sure of the day, though.
