[@gianinepreuss9999]

This is another reason why I don't own a tv or don't watch tv programs anymore. All the fun and good quality is long gone... 1970s, 1960s, that was gold. Look how actors and actresses got together in a friendly sporting match without lawsuits or money grabs. Just pure fun!

[@Beautifulmusiclistnr]

Very well said! I agree 100%!!!

[@stevemckinnis]

I got to meet her when I worked as an extra on a TV Movie. She was the sweetest person and so nice to everyone. She isn't just beautiful on the outside but she radiates a very kind soul. Very sweet. Very genuine.

[@barbaracaroll]

You're lucky to have met her

[@nytbrd]

Whenever Cheryl is on your team you know it is going to be a winning team! She is completely awesome!

[@jad8123]

You couldn’t get tv stars to do this now. It was such an innocent time. Good memories.

[@billhodges3723]

Cheryl- a TEN in my books

[@olivervanburen704]

Television was so much better back in the 70's. I loved Battle of the Network Stars. The crap on tv today is terrible compared to the 70's.

[@1960jack]

I was in high school when Charlie's Angels hit the TV screen ,I had Farrah,Kate, Jaclyn and my favorite Angel Cheryl all over my locker. Cheryl Ladd is still stunning! I love ya Cheryl!

[@thegoldenyear]

From this, I gather I'm not the only person to feel that she's the finest woman to walk the face of the earth. Nice post, mate.

[@skipdillard]

i remember ABC winning every year and the music and coverage was second to none at these!!!!!!

[@dajdools8834]

She was, and is, an angel. Always loved her class, as well as that beautiful smile...

[@sknyrd77]

Cheryl Ladd and Lynda Carter (checkout the '76 "Battle...") Those were the two hottest babes of that era...

[@BBBYpsi]

Imagine today the guilty trip the hippos modeling would try on them. Two natural beautiful women no implants,lips,boobs,butt. Classy women also.

[@paulgee4336]

She was one of the most beautiful women in the world at the time.

[@deborahwa]

This was like meeting old friends. I hope that the powers that be will release BATTLE OF THE NETWORK STARS on dvd soon. It was great to see the stars that I grew up watching on tv. Please post more.

[@tek6423]

Cosell called Jenner “Brucie”.. did Howard know?

[@rodrigorochacoutinho6936]

She has a such unique sense of humor, does not she? Cheryl, you are fantastic!

[@timstreitz4700]

Cheryl was my favorite angel.

[@fredlandry6170]

I remember this show when I was a little boy.

[@Mumblix]

I'm starting to think that life in general was more fun back then.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

It was a lot less staring as screens.

[@alienlife7754]

It was! Didn’t have all this social bullshit going on. People were done with that from the sixties and just wanted to have some fun. Unfortunately the whiners came back.

[@DaveE7171]

In so many ways it was. Words like virtual or remote were not part of culture. You had to get out of your house to have fun. Oh, and the music was extremely diverse and awesome. After the 80's, that basically ended. Although I loved country music in the 90's before it became pop elevator music like today.

[@theStacyJames]

And Women were actually Women. Know what I mean?

[@darknesswithin2136]

You're a LeWrongGeneration kid.

[@casperspiro1446]

i miss the 70's and 80's tv

[@renealexander2703]

I miss the 70s and 80s.

[@snoops71]

YES, those were such fun times to be a kid.

[@Smokeless1167]

Ladd was the bomb back then. Fawcett could not hold a candle to her.

[@BBBYpsi]

I agree, I also liked Jaclyn Smith better then Farrah.

[@joemartin1253]

Smokeless1167 I don't know about that my friend.

[@philholloway4424]

Kate Jackson rung my chimes 👅👅👅

[@dar76sh59]

@@philholloway4424 Oh yes!! Kate Jackson was gorgeous. There was just something about her. Wow!!

[@eddymontero6658]

@Smokeless1167 100% to both those statements of yours.

[@GeorgiaBoy1961]

Ditto... truly a beautiful woman. Let's put it this way: when the folks in Hollywood wanted to do a film about Grace Kelly's life - Kelly being one of the most beautiful women ever to light up the silver screen - they choose Cheryl Ladd for the part. Not only amazingly beautiful, but a fine woman, smart and classy. I hear she plays a mean round of golf, too...

[@johnearle7281]

1 of most beautiful stunning pretty women i ever seen + gorgeous lovely body in her prime + still in her later yrs those bikini episodes in charlies angels were sensatiinal

[@greywolfone1]

Omg, I remember watching this as a kid. The 70's, 80's and 90's had so much more imagination back then. Too bad there is not much on tv now a days except reality tv. YAWN. Give me the 70's, 80' or the 90's anytime compared to today's crap fest.

[@thomaspryor6491]

Love Cheryl

[@ReyesRobledo-et6di]

Most Hotter Very Beautiful Cheryl Ladd 💙 🎬

[@ŁeChíí-Diné]

Daaannng! Billy Crystal was smoking the back straightaway! Miss the Network Stars, when everybody knew who everybody was. 👍

[@rickmeade9693]

I rember this show it was fun to see those actors from different shows great time watching

[@kuriaki71]

Man i love the 70s

[@blowmebiatch]

Forget Malibu! Cheryl Ladd is the only beautiful sight I would be focused on. She's every man's dream lady.

[@rebeccaself7390]

I love Cheryl so much and the times were so different back them. I miss those days so much . the tv shows now are horribly written.

[@gordonowens7794]

I used to watch these competitions, I don't think stars today would get out there to have fun like this...my favorite was when Robert Conrad challenged Gabe Kaplan to a winner take all race, Gabe smiling said okay and beat Conrad badly.

[@josueuribe213]

¡Qué lindisimas piernas luce Cheryl Ladd en éste video! ¡Fiu, fiu!

[@MsTexas73]

Man that ABC team kilt it on the track. Penny Marshall did well for the lead of it's hard running first leg...but Cheryl Ladd closed the gap and Kristy helped seal the fate of the others cuz once she handed off to Kaplan it was over. The powerhouses of Stevenson, Chrystal and DeRose were AWESOME!!! Re; Angels...I always identified with Kelly, she was beautiful, posh...and very street smart.

[@scottym3]

She was a total babe back then, she's still freakin beautiful now at 69 years old. Also loved watching her on the Las Vegas series. Wish that one was still going. 💋🌹

[@robertrowe5349]

The best

[@kellygarrett312]

A friend of mine just happened to have a copy.

[@bostoncityofchampions6581]

I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when some ABC exec told Howard Cosell he was getting THIS gig.

[@briandriscoll8857]

Cheryl, Cheryl, Cheryl…….if only.😍😍😍

[@snoops71]

I grew up in the '70s, and you are OH so-ooo RIGHT, my friend!

[@jamesbond504]

you have not seen anything until you experienced living in the 70s ,espec ially being in grade school in the 70s ,cool stuff

[@Barnstormer1969]

Television in the '70s seem more fun than television today.

[@BBBYpsi]

You mean you do not find all the fake reality shows fun? Now you have done it you offended thousand of people who have rights & entitlments. You are a mean spirited racist.

[@ufukozdes]

she's very beautiful..

[@Black2295]

i wish they would do these competitions now

[@thomashumphrey7395]

Ladd in 1977 at the height of her powers and beauty. She was the epitome of the 70s natural stone fox that American boys dreamt of.

[@sweetrobertos]

Lance Kerwin from James at 15. Holy smokes i'm old.

[@22centman36]

@Barnstormer1969 there was more unitity in hollywood at the time. But with cable networks and so many independent channels springing about during the 80's and beyond, it changed the landscape of hollywood entierly

[@MadWeiner]

Of course Lance Kerwin is a good runner.He was in "The Loneliest Runner"

[@Navdan87]

She sang the National anthem for Super Bowl 14!

[@MikeTeaveeJr]

Cheryl wore the coolest Nikes on the planet. How would Ali Sweeney, Cat Deeley and/or Leighton Meester look in a pair of them if they were to revive Battle with 5 networks?

[@deanw0rmer]

She shoulda done the dunk tank

[@chuckselvage3157]

The most beautiful woman of all time 😍😍

[@tranquilmoodsrelaxation8695]

I love these shows and the circus of the stars the 70's were my fav for tv. I dont watch tv now, too much fake crap

[@dakotablack2003]

This can never happen again.

[@kellygarrett312]

I agree 100%.

[@bebo5558]

2:48. Howard says "Brucey" I guess he knew something back then we didn't!

[@sakurasoh]

Cheryl now is a professional in golf...

[@woohooboy]

During this time, "Saturday Night Live" did an hilarious send-up commerical on "Network Battle of The Stars" and renamed it ..... "Network Battle of the T's & A's!"....... Complete with a voiceover that stated - "With the biggest T's and the nicest A's!"..... The ad was filled with gratuitous camera close-ups of women in tight fitting t-shirts and shorts jumping up and down and jiggling about!! Still makes me chuckle :)

Cheryl ladd?? Parker Stevenson was the hot one

[@2indulgent]

@chroniclerofthe70s, No, but all my clothes from the 70s that are stored away in my basement sure look tacky, including my patchwork flare bottom blue jeans, and my silk shirts with 6" collar points.

[@58manoa]

she one fine women ! so pretty!

The real loser here was Bruce Jenner.. From hero with Linda Thompson to zero with now Chris Kardashian aka Chris Jenner...

[@SadisticPork]

Billy Crystal sure is running foooo!

[@tucsonia]

This unexpectedly made me laugh out loud. Mr. Decathlete is looking more like an old woman nowadays than the manly man one would expect. Thank you for your comment.

Did Cheryl ever get dunked in the dunk tank?

[@jerkfaceloser]

i never needed to see klinger in speedos. the stuff of nightmares.

[@germanicelt]

Funny, I know a couple that both remind me of them.

[@simplygu]

Cheryl Ladd was throwing the balls at the target, and Jamie Farr is in the swimming suit in the dunk tank getting wet. What is obviously wrong with this picture?

[@MSMILLA]

Look at Telly...OMG..he was one cool Greek with a lolly.

[@yemieko]

BILLY CRYSTAL!!! LMAO

[@harpoon_bakery162]

he was very fast and Howard did not interview him after the race, in which he gave his team a huge lead....the only people Howard talked to were the dude on the anchor leg that ran barefooted and the other dude from Welcome Back Cotter ( i think he was the teacher or something like that.,,,, very smart individual that actually went on to star in other movies and shows, at least I'm pretty sure he did..he was the one with an afro).

[@NewWorldRob]

...yeah why did you guys (generation, not U - I see U always liked Cheryl better) like Farrah more than any Angel? I mean damn, I didnt see a 1970s day, but shit, I hv watched the re-runs literally for 17 yrs!!! ...And I have never liked her or under stood how ppl in you alls day could think she's hotter than Jaclyn, Tanya, My baby Cheryl or even Kate, who reeeeally does look tterrible now, I dunno WTF happened 2 her 'cause she was a cutie on the show - eyes, smile (THAT BODY, uhhh!!!). U rite.

[@nightowlchad]

Jaclyn Smith was the most beautiful one in any of the trio lineups. Next is Cheryl and then Tanya. Farrah was overrated
