ELLEN: GLADIATORS (TV)
Summary
One in this comedy series about the quirky misadventures of a flippant Los Angeles bookstore manager named Ellen Morgan. In this episode, athletic Ellen qualifies as a participant for the "trash-sport" television program "American Gladiators," and becomes involved in a vicious love triangle with two of the show's stars: musclebound Nitro and his hulking ex-girlfriend Ice. Meanwhile, café manager Joe attempts to mend his ways after receiving a complaint letter about his rude demeanor, and Paige is sued by Audrey after the two are involved in an automobile accident. Includes commercials, promos, and public service announcements.
(Series title varies; early episodes ran under the title "These Friends of Mine.")
