The reboot of Battle of the Network Stars hits its stride on September 7 when it gathers five actors from some of the most popular TV family shows in history. They are: Danny Bonaduce (Danny on The Partridge Family), Barry Williams (Greg on The Brady Bunch), Charlene Tilton (Lucy Ewing on Dallas), Beverley Mitchell (Lucy on 7th Heaven), and Willie Aames (Tommy Bradford on Eight Is Enough).
[You can watch old episodes of Eight Is Enough on Amazon]
This isn’t Aames’ first time on the Battle of the Network Stars. While on Eight Is Enough, the teen idol competed on the show 35 years ago. He says being on the show in 2017 “is like wearing a favorite old sweater.” See photos below. Battle of the Network Stars airs Thursdays at 8pm and 9pm on ABC.
