So I was flipping through the channels today and guess who I saw on TV?  It was my friend, Tasha (Schwikert)!

To my surprise, it looks as though ABC Family is starting a new girl’s gymnastics show called, Make it or Break it.  I’m not sure what the story is about but I’m assuming it’s going to be like the movie, Stick It.  I watched about 5 minutes of it and thought that the story was way too dramatized and didn’t accurately portray the sport of gymnastics.  That said, I probably won’t continue to watch it t but I wanted to mention it because I thought it was interesting that they’re starting a new show about women’s gym.

I wonder what the public will think if there was a men’s gymnastics show and who will actually star in it.  I would love to see my friend Sean Golden as a character in the show because he is an entertainer.  However, something tells me that a men’s gymnastics show  won’t be all that popular and will only get few viewership.  It might be interesting to watch though.

As for gymnastics movies, I’ve gotta say I like Gymkata.  It’s an old film and it stars Kurt Thomas (the inventor of the Thomas Flare).  The movie is totally random.  He is basically a warrior that uses his gymnastics skills to fight zombies (for example, he uses pommel horse shaped stones to do circles on and kick bad guys who run into him).  Regardless, the movie is very funny and interesting.  There  are other gymnastics movies out there but I’ve gotta say that in terms of entertainment factor, Gymakata is the best.  Check it out when you get a chance!
