With the premiere of the show set for this week, we thought it would be fun to dive into the archives for a look back at the original series. Also, in lieu of the late - and frankly irreplaceable - Cosell, announcers will be Mike Greenberg and Joe Tessitore of ESPN, owned by ABC/Disney. In addition, it will feature past and present stars of shows mostly from the ABC/Disney family instead of from across the network spectrum. For example: Week 1 will feature a “TV Sitcoms” team (Bronson Pinchot of “Perfect Strangers,” Tom Arnold of “Roseanne,” Dave Coulier of “Full House,” AJ Michalka of “The Goldbergs” and “Tracy Gold of “Growing Pains”) against a “TV Kids” team (Joey Lawrence of “Blossom,” Corbin Bleu of “High School Musical,” Nolan Gould of “Modern Family,” and Lisa Whelchel and Kim Fields of “The Facts of Life”). What’s more, each team will be grouped thematically. For starters, instead of being a one-time special, the new “Battle of the Network Stars” will be a full-on series, with two teams of five actors competing each week. Although the idea is a recycled one, not everything will be the same this time.
