vulture.com – ABC’s reboot of Battle of the Network Stars is shaping up to be the Olympics of throwback TV. Dozens of classic characters from a slew of old-school series

— Famous TV Families (Danny Bonaduce, Barry Williams, Beverley Mitchell, Willie Aames, Charlene Tilton) vs. Doctors (Thomas Calabro, Taye Diggs, Rachelle Lefevre, Deidre Hall, Benjamin Hollingsworth)  

(think Blair and Tootie from The Facts of Life, Balki from Perfect Strangers, or The O.C.’s Marissa Cooper) are all onboard for the previously announced amateur athletic extravaganza, along with a selection of small-screen stars from current hits such as Scandal (Cornelius Smith Jr., Joshua Malina) and How to Get Away With Murder (Matt McGorry). Vulture has obtained an exclusive sneak peek at the 100 celebs on the Battle team rosters, and if you’ve dreamed of the day Dave Coulier (Full House) and Tracey Gold (Growing Pains) teamed up to crush Joey Lawrence (Blossom) and Corbin Bleu (High School Musical), prepare to have your fantasy fulfilled. And if you’re a fan of the original BOTNS, there’s even more good news: At least 20 stars who took part in the first series of specials have agreed to return for the reboot. As Mr. Lawrence’s alter ego might say, “Whoa!” Read on for the full list of competitors. You can see the first two teams wage (friendly) war when the new Battle of the Network Stars debuts June 29 at 9 p.m. on ABC.
