The Battle of the Network Stars in the ’70s
In the ’70s, TV stars went head-to-head in fierce competition with viewers on the edge of their seats. “The Battle of the Network Stars” saw celebrities from ABC, CBS, and NBC compete in various Olympic-style events, from volleyball to tug-of-war. The show’s highlight was the dunk tank, where viewers could watch their favorite stars get soaked.
In 1976, Wonder Woman Lynda Carter took part in a swimming competition, competing against big names like Farrah Fawcett and Ron Howard. Although her team didn’t come out on top, she won her relay lap and even dominated the obstacle course in a full Adidas outfit.
