Celebrity Challenge of the Sexes

[lonewolf]

The Shaq show reminded me of this late 1970s TV show. it. Male and Female Celebrity teams in a variety of athletic contests. Anybody else remember it?
My favorite episode was when Levar Burton, 20 years old, fresh out of Roots and highly touted as the stud star was smoked in a scratch 220 by Lana Falana, a curvaceous 37 year old actress/singer

I have this memory of a young Hollywood starlet being in a match 2 mile roadrace with Ed Asner and since the guys always were given a handicap, Asner had to run the first half mile by himself before she jumped into the race! Poor Ed never had a chance.

Ed Ansner. Two Miles. :shock:
I missed that one.

He'd just had ACL repairs on both knees and then spent a couple of weeks on a GlideCycle . . .

Dang! I wish that GlideCycle had been around when my entire meniscus was removed in 1982. I would still be terrorizing 75-80 Masters track.
