And it is filling me with awe and loathing.

Ben fucking Murphy is on it! Tim Matheson was HOT!

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Monday, 21 July 2003 01:14 (twenty-two years ago)

You should switch over to "The Restaurant" on NBC. I'm liking it.

But I'm watching godman LYNDA CARTER ON A TRAMPOLINE!

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Monday, 21 July 2003 01:17 (twenty-two years ago)

But do they feature The Baio? This is urgent and key.

I have an urge to revive the Battle of Network Stars thread again, but for the sake of everyone's sanity I will not. I am so heartbroken I'm missing this.

― Larcole (Nicole), Monday, 21 July 2003 01:21 (twenty-two years ago)

They're re-running a whole slew of them throughout the week. First up -- 1976.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Monday, 21 July 2003 01:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Surely they'll have tapes of it on ebay within a few weeks, Nicole.

Robert Conrad is PORNTASTIC.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Monday, 21 July 2003 01:28 (twenty-two years ago)

You are taping these. You are dubbing these. You are sharing these. There is no exception.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 21 July 2003 01:28 (twenty-two years ago)

I can't tape these! The VCR connected to my cable set-up is busted!

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Monday, 21 July 2003 01:33 (twenty-two years ago)

THEN YOU SUCK THE HAIRY DICK OF THE NETHER HELLS.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 21 July 2003 01:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Holy crap, it's almost all padding! They're stretching each three or so minute events with Rona Barrett, fake controversy and endless slo-mo replays.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Monday, 21 July 2003 01:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Don't make me use the Paul Lynde voice, Ned.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Monday, 21 July 2003 01:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Aw, please?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 21 July 2003 01:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Peter Marshall: It is the most abused and neglected part of your body -- what is it?

Paul Lynde: Mine may be abused but it certainly isn't neglected!

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Monday, 21 July 2003 01:43 (twenty-two years ago)

OH BABY.

I'd pay for a DVD of nothing but Paul Lynde's campest answers.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 21 July 2003 01:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Cathy Rigby is like a dwarf Ricky Schroder. Set to "The Hustle."

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Monday, 21 July 2003 02:15 (twenty-two years ago)

*cries in frustration at being denied this beauteous gift of the gods*

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 21 July 2003 02:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Penny Marshall rockin' all the lesbian stereotypes like it ain't nobody's business. Gary Burghoff losing on the obstacle course to insane twerpy Moog sounds. BEN MURPHY.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Monday, 21 July 2003 02:23 (twenty-two years ago)

"Hi! Ben Murphy again!"

*cue Riding With Death theme music*

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 21 July 2003 03:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Battle ofthe Network Stars is something I've been dying to watch again for years. I am so jealous.

― H (Heruy), Monday, 21 July 2003 09:34 (twenty-two years ago)

I missed Lynda Carter????

Last night's was good.

― rosemary (rosemary), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 01:15 (twenty-two years ago)

All these tv stars in speedos MY EYES!!!!!!

― rosemary (rosemary), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 02:33 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm now taping them, btw.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 10:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Last night: Robert Conrad in a Peter Frampton T-shirt. And many people -- including David Letterman and ROBIN WILLIAMS -- in bathing suits.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 10:27 (twenty-two years ago)

And Gabe Kaplan ina skimpy suit too. Eeeeeek.

Did you watch "Good Clean Porn"? It's like the most quintessential TRIO show EVER. "Sexy" and "edgy" and edited to death.

― rosemary (rosemary), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 12:44 (twenty-two years ago)

And my VCR just broke today...

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Thursday, 24 July 2003 00:01 (twenty-two years ago)

*weeps*

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 24 July 2003 00:03 (twenty-two years ago)

They're showing them all on Sunday, I think.

― rosemary (rosemary), Thursday, 24 July 2003 00:05 (twenty-two years ago)

"You lied to me about Peter.
You lied to me about Lars.
You lied to me about Jeffrey.
Battle of the Network Stars."

― Douglas (Douglas), Thursday, 24 July 2003 00:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Dude, I can't see it could ever get any better than David Letterman vs. Billy Crystal running an obstacle course race.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Thursday, 24 July 2003 00:12 (twenty-two years ago)

David Letterman vs. Billy Crystal running an obstacle course... on ICE!

― Chris P (Chris P), Thursday, 24 July 2003 00:20 (twenty-two years ago)

I would happily give up a kidney to get a tape of this stuff.

― Larcole (Nicole), Thursday, 24 July 2003 00:39 (twenty-two years ago)

I'll happily give up Larcole's kidney as well. Wait, that sounds wrong.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 24 July 2003 00:41 (twenty-two years ago)

This is easily the greatest TV event of the year, if not the millennium.

― Andy K (Andy K), Thursday, 24 July 2003 01:12 (twenty-two years ago)

I might be able to tape some of them on Sunday, we'll see.

― rosemary (rosemary), Thursday, 24 July 2003 01:24 (twenty-two years ago)

..but what about Pink Lady? Icing on the nightcake.
