Get Ready For Another Television Reboot on ABC

June 13, 2017

The network that is giving us new episodes of Roseanne, American Idol, Match Game, The Gong Show, Pyramid and even a remake of Dirty Dancing is taking recycling to the next level.

The next show that is coming back is Battle of the Network Stars.

I’ll be honest, I don’t even remember this show ever being on before, because it hasn’t been on TV for about 30 years.

The premise, 100 stars will be split into teams to compete against each other in a set of athletic challenges (like tug of war, archery, obstacle course, and more).
