You Won't Believe What the Original Battle of the Network Stars Looked Like

The premiere of the new Battle of the Network Stars is the latest iteration of the televised competition program that pits celebrities against each other in a variety of outdoor sporting events. Since it’s debut in 1976, the show has held 19 competitions in over a decade and has boasted a who’s-who roster of participants from rival networks, including Darleen Carr and Lynda Carter (pictured in 1976). Now, with the latest version of the show returning after a 30-year hiatus, take a trip down memory lane to see how it all began.
