I love this show. Its only very rarely on where I live in the south, but when I visit the UK I get to watch their version of it all the time and it owns.

Its been re-reunning a lot on 'DAVE' if I remember rightly (UK Freeview/Digital Channel). Its the 'Extreme' spinoff series though which is in-between the main tournaments.

No problem Its usually on quite early though (since you know Dave needs all the space it can for Mock the week and Top Gear reruns) Most fondly remembered robot has to be Diablo Didnt it get set on fire EVERY time it was out to fight? In fact I even remember one fight, it had won, not got set on fire, announcer had called the end of the match and Sgt Bash still ran up and set it alight :PAccording to the 'Dave' Scheduling, its next on tv on the 25th this month at 12 funtimes.

i remember watching teh uk version on G4 back when G4 was still kinda cool but began to sell out. It was a little more edgy and the pageantry was epic.
