ANY NEWS: Battle of the Network Stars on DVD? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Austin Tripper · 12-25-2004, 03:42 AM

I have to say this was my favorite TV Specials in the 1970's -1980's. It is one of the first Reality Type TV Specials. Basically it was all the different actors from each network competing against each other in sporting events.

Has anyone ever heard of The Series coming out on DVD???

Does anyone know where a good DVD site(s) where I can keep checking in the future that would announce this??

Email and basically asked a million times for them to release this on dvd?? ( WE did this for Freaks & Geeks... &... Three's Company and it worked!)

Help Please

* It was a ABC Tv Show..

Here is their Email: netaudr@abc.com

PLEASE ask for each Complete Season unedited.
