What happens

Battle of the Network Stars is a series of competitions in which television stars from ABC, CBS and NBC would compete in various sporting events. A total of 19 of these competitions were held between 1976 and 1988, all of which were aired by ABC. In 2003, NBC attempted to revive Battle of the Network Stars with a two-hour special. In 2005, Bravo premiered a revived version of the show named Battle of the Network Reality Stars. Also in 2005, ESPN premiered a sports-themed spinoff version of Battle of the Network Stars as Battle of the Gridiron Stars featuring twenty players from the AFC and NFC competing in a variety of tasks that had nothing to do with football. In 2017, ABC revived the series as a summer series, which ran from June 29 to September 7, 2017. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
