Battle of the Network Stars – Conrad vs. Kaplan
1976 Battle of the Network Stars; Bob Conrad goes apesh*t over a technical call and has it out for poor old Mr. Kotter, Gabe Kaplan! This is vintage 70′s tv at it’s best, you know when there was only 3 networks, disco replays, smoking joggers, girls running without bras, and don’t forget the insane amount of racist jokes when they were PC.

man, my sisters and I used to watch this like it was the best thing in the world!!
I guess this “traumatic” event put Bob Conrad into a massive depression, followed by years of alcohol abuse. An actor, living in LA in the 70′s (before Mexico moved in and ruined in), money,? all the tail he could pump, was derailed because of this gay little race. Sad… Sad effects of short man syndrome -
The best part is Richard Hatch coming in near the end and proving that he really IS a good actor…
Hard to believe people used to watch this but, television has changed so, so much. Don’t think this would be very popular show today. TV Stars were household names back then. You knew what network, what, show, what night and what time. Now it’s like who is that and it’s likely they are on faux reality show on some network you never watch.
Lol, Robert Conrad is such a child.
I bet he’s the type that would get mad at his kids for beating him in Chutes and Ladders.
robert conrad is such an ass
Robert Conrad…smokem if you gotem.
Oops… make that 7:00. The whole thing is cool though!
Awesome! Thanks so much for posting this. (Farrah Fawcett and Wonder Woman @ 2:10 – amazing!)
notice how many of the competing network stars are openly smoking (Telly, Robert Conrad, that dude that played Ralph Malph i forget his name)
Classic 70′s TV!
You know, as I’m watching this, it might sound crazy, but
I think Bob Conrad is trying to make an impression on Farrah Fawcett/the other women there. Look @ 5:40.
He’s trying to be “the man.”
@anakina1 I agree with your comment. I faintly remember BOTNS because I was too young. It’s wild to see all these big hollywood stars come together.
@spudnutsncoffee
sorry little drunk earlier… dont know what dunder is…. anyways what happened in the episode was there was a girl with downs syndrome and at once point they asked her what her parents did. she said my mother is the former govenor of alaska….so palin wants that episode pulled and never played agian.
so thats what i ment…..its both sides that complain…both sides idea of living free is living they way THEY want everyone to live.
@edridz132 Well, I do not watch Family Guy, so I am not sure what you mean. That said, I am no fan of Palin. She is an empty shell of a person. Devoid of anything interesting to me whatsoever. The only reason she has anyones attention is because of her screwed up family, the goofy names she gave her kids and the fact that she looks hot. That’s it. She is less qualified than the community organizer/house painter in the currently occupying the White House.
@spudnutsncoffee i know its a little late….b but i dunder
but i think i get what your talking about. just like that liberal bitch sarahpalin with what family guy said about her right???
And look at the smile etched in the visage as he breasts the tape!
First of all i’m not a buddy okay, I’m a woman.
so you DONT want equality after all, do you, girls?
I remember this show from when I was a kid. Awesome stuff! TV is so different now…this is true reality TV. Thanks for posting the video!
Oh thank you for such beautiful things you say about others. it really does take a giant asshole to know of an even bigger one. Each person has a right to their opinion and i have stated mine. Oh BTW go screw yourself.
Joanna Pettet @ 2:12 “I don’t know what all the hullabaloo is anyway.” That may have been the last time anyone has used the word hullabaloo in a sentence.
Nope, you were all good.
srry … my folt. i fed a troll. i should have been more mature.
God bless!
tine pula! ;)
Woah! This is a fun little tv program from the 70′s, not a political statement? of any kind! Dang.
Someone is SO going to be blocked from commenting! That’s right! My video – I have the power!
