Male stars in bathing suits...you kidding me?
Better was "Superstars" with pro athlete's competing with each other in various sports.

As I recall, Penny Marshall always kicked butt for ABC.
They reran these a few years ago.

Posted: 11/21/06 at 4:05pmI think folks are confusing Circus of the Stars with Battle of the Network Stars. Both were delicious shows. But I did love prime time male stars in speedos for the BOTNS. Totally divine. I think how I feel about COS and BOTNS is how kids growing up today will feel about Dancing with the Stars. Although I wish theyd revive the BOTNS. I'd love to see the guys from Desperate Housewives in Speedos. :)

My friend Deborah Tranelli did the trapeze - she showed me the tape years later - scary!!
My friend Lara Jill Miller was on too, I think she was a juggler - I know she can still do it. Haven't seen her tape, but I'm sure I would have seen the original.

Posted: 11/21/06 at 4:18pmDarlin', the only names I have to drop are has-beens, k?

Posted: 11/21/06 at 4:21pmI only watched one year. I think it may have been the last one. Go figure!

Posted: 11/21/06 at 4:21pmYes but Lara is still adorable so Rait can name drop. Actually, I prefer has-been name-droppers because you know they are sincere. You'd really have to be a friend of LJM to mention it. I mean when people start saying they know Beyonce, I raise an eyebrow. Plus, I'm partial to Lara Jill and Rait gave me a lovely memory of one of my first childhood crushes.

I suppose I'm partial to the ones who did $25,000 Pyramid, Tattletales or Match Game.
Rath can name drop all she wants...like she'd listen to me anyway.

Posted: 11/21/06 at 4:26pmAh, GIMME A BREAK, one of my favorites....remember when they had Robin Gibb on and he and Nell sang "Up Where We Belong" while the Chief looked on? Wow, three dead people in one episode!

Posted: 11/21/06 at 4:28pmNow, I would name-drop Anita and Grover, but she's passed on, and he's..., so what's the point?
