It premiered on September 17, 1994, and ran until May 11, 1996. This show was co-produced by One World Entertainment then a division of MTV Networks. It was often partnered with its parent show in syndication, although some markets ran it independently. Like AG, the series was produced by Four Point Entertainment, and distributed by Samuel Goldwyn Television.[3] In response to NBC's 2008 revival of American Gladiators, the show was brought back in syndicated reruns for the 2008–2009 television season.[4]
