@higgy04 The reason that Dave represented CBS is because he was a cast member of Mary Tyler Moore's short-lived variety show, 'Mary', which aired on CBS in 1978.

A great example of why the 70s were the best, Howard Cosell kept saying the thrill of victory, a tag line from Wide World of Sports Introduction during the 70s. If this were to happen today, the network or owners of WW of sports would have sued him or demanded that he stop using the phrase, the thrill of victory.

Letterman represented CBS back in 1978? I always remember him on NBC from 1980 to 1993 before he went to CBS.

What most people forget is that they weren't playing for charity or people at home. The money they won went into their own pocket. Back in the 70s they weren't pulling in the checks they were today that's for sure so the extra winnings were definitely worth it

I doubt they will only because of royalties and such.

Does Larry Wilcox get to have one at bat in a Grapefruit League game for the Yankees now?

damn, Billy would have won if he didn't get caught in the ropes
Two things bettychuck:
1) You actually possess a copy of a "Battle of the Network Stars" show.
2) You use the adjective "biff", to describe this clip in your write-up.
Awesome on both counts!

Why thank you! I caught the BOTNS by chance on the now defunct TRIO channel. They had a marathon of 5 episodes. Why this channel is defunct, I dunno.
