Television and Olympic stars will battle for glory and charity in the all new “Battle of the Network Stars,” a two-hour special to be telecast Saturday, August 16 (9-11 pm) on NBC.

Picabo's team consists of Ali Landry, Dondre Whitfield, Rena Sofer, Neil Flynn and Justin Long .
Dan's team consists of Mario Lopez, Brooke Burns, Drake Hogestyn , Ross “The Intern” Matthews and Amelia Marshall.
Show highlights include water duels on Sea-Doos and Dunk Boats, contestants soaring over a cliff at an altitude of almost 10,000 ft. above sea level in the Big Swing” and a game of Mountain Bowling.
The celebrities all played for charity, and the groups benefiting include: Boys & Girls Club of America; Citizen’s Scholarship Foundation of America; The March of Dimes; The Special Olympics; The National Wildlife Federation; The American Cancer Society; and The American Heart Association. | Promote this thread! |           | Ubermonkeys

| #2 Posted on 12.8.03 0808.50 | Am I really that unhip... I've only heard of the Stealing Spy TV From MIB Ho and Slater out of that bunch. It's not really the same without the "stars" and all. Just sounds like Celebrity Fear Factor without eating pig nuts.

This is "Battle of the People Who Didn't Get Called Back For That All-Celebrity Reality-TV Big Brother Knockoff."

| #5 Posted on 12.8.03 0857.32 | This is a really sad knock-off of the legendary Battle of the Network Stars of the 70's, I mean, where is this generation's McClain Stevenson when you really need him, battling for Network Honor.

I got excited when I saw the headline, but this is no good. Why can't they do ABC vs. CBS vs. NBC (and I guess you have to add FOX now)? That is the real battle.
I remember once there was a tug-of-war, and Mr.T was the anchor for the NBC team. NBC ended up losing, and Mr.T was inconsolable, like he had just lost an Olympic medal he had trained years for.
Plus, Heather Locklear in the dunk tank. Or was it Heather Thomas? Either way, it's all good.

It was BOTH!!
I believe Mario Lopez is the guy who played "Slater" on "Saved by the Bell."

(I hold a grudge against the show and its ilk for driving nails into the coffins of Saturday morning cartoons.)

| #14 Posted on 12.8.03 1153.22 | Ali Landry and Mario Lopez are also dating. And yes, Ali Landry is the Dorritos girl. I think she also hosted a TV show recently or a TV special at least. Brooke Burns is the hot blonde who hosts "Dog Eat Dog". She was actually on Kimmel last week and talked about this. As of now it's just NBC "stars" battling each other but eventually, they'll be expanding to the actual networks battling each other (according to Brooke).
Oh and Ross "the Intern" is the effeminate, heavyset intern from the Tonight Show that Jay sends out to do celeb interviews at movie premieres and whatnot.

And Ali Landry's highlight reel for me will always contain her work on the 98 Degrees video which featured...Dustin Diamond...who starred with on Saved By The Bell with...Mario Lopez! (All right, I'm starting to feel like Flea here so I'll stop.)
Molly, Stacy and Daffney all in WWE? I suddenly lost all my will to complain about anything regarding the WWE. Hope I don't lose my street cred for this.

A couple of weeks ago they had an all day marathon of the old shows on Trio and it absolutely ruled. My wife and thought that the stars playing for the networks was the ony way to go, but most networks wouldn't want their "stars" getting hurt doing stupid things. I see they came up with an alternative that really doesn't work for me.
By the way, I think Mario Lopez was Slater on Saved by the Bell.

If they're not gonna give us network vs. network vs. network vs. network (sorry, no run-ins by UPN and The WB), the stars at least DAMN WELL BETTER BE wearing those hideous 70's "athletic" outfits the original Battle of the Network Stars competitors were.
And who the hell will hold the sideline mic in place of Howard Cosell?
They better not screw this up.
Star wipe, and...we're out.
