This sounds like one of those shows you really like watching, but won't admit watching it to anyone...It's a show about a women's roller derby league in Texas , and the players on and off the track. The thing that may interest some people is that it's made by the "Laguna Beach" producers, so it's in that sort of filming style.... here's the website for the show... http://www.aetv.com/rollergirls/

Ugh, I have no idea if the show will be good or not, but I was watching a 24 marathon and every other commercial was for Rollergirls. I hate them now.

I didn't even know that roller derbies were in again until I watched an episode of CSI:NY where one was killed etc.. It's like a flashback to my childhood lol...

My next door neighbor and I, as little girls, wanted to be in the Roller Derby. We used to practice whipping each other through our legs while going, oh, maybe 90mph on our skates. I don't think we were ever able to get that maneuver down without scraping most of the flesh from our knees.

It's like a flashback to my childhood lol... NO kidding!! my sister and I loved Rollerderby on Saturday afternoons. Skinny Mini is the only name I remember. ((mind you, we used to watch ALL STAR wrestling as well. Gene Kiniski and Andre the Giant were still 'up and comers' back then)) I am not sure I want to watch this show. It seems a little gratuitous-if thats the right word. I bet Men will love this show!!

Did anybody else catch this trainwreck? I read a review of it in the TV Guide...thought I'd check it out and not so sure about it. There's nothing like a bunch of gals on roller skates...getting drunk and beating the crap out of each other. Goes to show that anything can be a reality show these days.

I watched but I'm not sure whether I liked it or not. Venis Envy reminds me of Peekaboo Street (sp?) the downhill skier. And Coco Puffs or whatever her name was, the one with the child, reminded me of Courtney Love.

it's intersting, but heavily edited, especially in the game action (you can tell from the scoreboard, the scores jump all over the place).....and There's a reason the show uses the term "PDF's" instead of the actual name, because it's Spanish for a woman of ill-repute...

Which doesn't make much sense...since they used the term over and over during the show.

I wanted to skate in the roller derby when I was young. We used to watch the LA T-birds at my grandparents house every Saturday night. I used to hip check and swing my brothers all over the sidewalk. I watched a little bit of this show last night but it didn't keep my attention.

I kinda liked this show. I guess I'm easily amused or something. lol I used to watch Roller Derby when I was a kid and I loved it. Me and my girlfriend Theresa used to practice our moves everyday until she broke her leg and her Mom put a stop to our dreams of hitting the big time. hahaha

I hate hate to admit it, but I have seen 2 episodes and I am sucked right in. I think it may be because like other people here I used to love roller derby as a kid. Who knew there is this whole roller derby counter-culture out there. For some reason I find it kinda fascinating.

Err, is this over? Tivo says no upcomings episodes, but the last one had a tease for the next show, the championship. I figured the championship would be the finale show. But they haven't aired it. Anyone know?

They cancelled it due to low ratings, according to Variety this past Monday.

The last (missing) 3 episodes will be shown in a mini-marathon on A&E on April 2nd. On a side note, Ann Calvello died of liver cancer last Tuesday. She was featured in one of the last episodes and will also be in the championship episode.
