Television stars from the days of spandex, body hair, and uppers. You almost expect the group to do the Hustle.

Television star types have changed a lot.

I’ve always thought the battle of the network stars should have been fought with automatic weapons.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Now their biggest competition is HDTV.

[Lockbar]

Melissa Gilbert was sooo dorkey back then, but very uber hot now.

Gregory Harrison remains hot today and I still love Greg Evigan. What a fun video - thanks for posting. Amazing how they’ve aged so and I haven’t. LOL

Howard (I never played the game) Cosell. How many impression acts were gutted when he died.

[Le Chien Rouge]

I used to watch this event when I was a kid.

Loved the episode where geeky Gabe Kaplan beat uber-man Robert Conrad in a sprint for the championship.

Conrad flipped out for losing to a dork.

Man, was Ed Asner ever younger than 60?

[fnord]

SNL did “Battle of the Network T’s and A’s”

the biggest T’s ... the firmest A’s

[Disambiguator]

Jan Smithers...giddyup!

[driftless2]

Asner was in “El Dorado” made in 1967 when he was either thirty-seven or thirty-eight. He looked like he was about fifty years old then.

I liked her better than Loni Anderson.
