Until now.Ī few months ago, I stumbled across a rather sketchy online auction selling all 19 seasons of BotNS for the incredibly low price of $35. Unfortunately, with the cable channel explosion diluting talent and television star salaries escalating past a point where a couple extra thousand dollars would be seen as a nice bonus and not simply an extravagant lunch, Battle of the Network Stars is destined to live on only in memories. Ever since that last battle, I always hoped some network would be crazy enough to resurrect this glorious competition. Though the network stars last battled in 1988, (after 19 titanic conflicts, starting back in 1976) it never strayed too far from my consciousness. Long before MTV started having the casts of Road Rules and The Real World competing against one another in a series of athletic events, the Big 3 (NBC, ABC, CBS) did the exact same thing with their prime time stars. Don't know what The Battle of the Network Stars is? Then I weep for you.
